Ok, so I think that since the original play deals with a free kick, the "forced" touching by R doesn't fall under the forced touching provisions. See 6-1-5. Since the ball is beyond the NZ, forced touching really doesn't come into play since K can legally recover the ball. So I would say that it will be R's ball at the inbounds spot.
Now, let's say the ball is still in the NZ, the forced touching would be ignored, correct? So with that, would we have a free kick OOB?
Good play to get the wheels going.
