26 mins confidence:   an "up & under"
Explanation:
That's what the description sounds like to me. Eddie Waring made it famous when commentating on rugby league, altho I've heard union commentators use it too. Altho' I confess the French is bit more precise about the fact this particular kick is from the wings towards the centre. Perhaps just a "high kick infield" would do, if "up & under" is inappropriate!
