The field is 100m from goal line to goal line. You can back as far as you want or as close as you want perpendicular to the goal line. But you must go directly back from the spot that the ball was touched down.
That's why if you watch a game players will run into the middle of the goal post before touching the ball down. In that case you would kick the conversion from directly in front of the goal posts as far back as you wanted to put it.
Since there aren't really plays or a line of scrimmage there isn't really a true 5-yard play or 40-yard play as play doesn't stop after a tackle.

It's been a quiet offseason for the Tigers and they're finally just getting back into conference play. This Spring season LSU has only had the chance to play one match to date. That was a 103-0 thrashing at the hands of #2 Life. This final score isn't much worse than what was expected facing a team like Life.
The small school out of Atlanta has slaughtered all competitors to date and the only matches they've lost in the past 4 years have been in the national championship. The Running Eagles are one of the best funded varsity rugby programs in the country. Full scholarships for all players, weight rooms, trainers, full time staff of paid coaches, and they have the ability to pull recruits from all across the globe. Unfortunately those are just excuses. A few of Life's other wins have been 63-3 over Clemson, 69-5 over Arkansas St, and in the Fall they knocked off quality programs Penn St and Navy in back to back days.
But, still, once again... just excuses. In reality, LSU was overmatched from the get-go, and everything snowballed after a few key early injuries. Luckily this match doesn't affect LSU's post-season hopes at all and serves as great experience for future challenges.
Next, the Tigers were supposed to play UT in Austin on Feb.3 but that game was postponed due to snow. That game has been rescheduled for 2/24 in Austin.
Finally we get to the present. LSU is gearing up for a tough battle against the one team that poses a threat to capture the Red River South title. Texas A&M will bring a fight to what has traditionally been one of LSU's biggest rivalries. Last year LSU dispatched A&M in both matches 36-26 and 33-10 and A&M will be looking for payback.
Things will be tougher for LSU after losing a 4 year starter and All-conference player at 8-man to graduation, but LSU has added a few big bodies in the forwards to compensate. This team isn't the same long, lean squad that LSU has traditionally put out on the pitch. In the words of Big Red, "We're short so we'll be able to get real low." This should lead to a solid scrum and great ball retention in the rucks.
So come on out and stop by before the baseball game Saturday. The pitch is just a short ways down the road past Alex Box. Kickoff is set for Noon.
Geaux Tigers! Bulawayo!
