Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaa Mers :-) :-) <3

Thank you for your message! Don't worry, not everyone likes Rugby. I grew up on it. Our Village was very Rugby Orientated. My brother played too.

I don't pretend to know all the ins and outs of the game (OH has to explain all the very technical details:-D :-D) but I just love It!

Jemima, can you please explain the Rugby off-side rule.

That one always get me confused :-S :-S ;-)

It's simple Allan-

It's when they are NOT ON-SIDE :-D :-D

Oh dear!

That means that I am always off-side with OH :-( ;-) :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D@ Allan

RUBY UNION OFF-SIDE RULES:

The Off-Side Rules in Rubgy Union have been explained to me by OH, and now I understand (I think).
BUT, so not to get myself and others in a muddle I have C/P this from Wikipedia-

OFF-SIDE RULES-

In rugby football, the offside rule prohibits players from gaining an advantage from being too far forward.

When the ball is carried by a single player in open play, any other player on the same team who is in front of the ball carrier is in an offside position.

When the ball is in a ruck, maul, or line-out, any player who is in front of the hindmost foot of the hindmost player of the same side in the ruck/maul/scrum/lineout is in an offside position.

When the ball is in a scrum, the scrum-half must remain behind the ball and all other players not in the scrum must remain behind a line parallel to the goal-line and five metres behind the hindmost foot.

A player in an offside position is forbidden from interfering with play in any way. In particular, a player in an offside position-
• may not receive a pass (forward passes are illegal in any event)
• may not enter a ruck, maul or scrum
• may not play the ball
• may not move towards the ball
• may not move towards, tackle or obstruct a player of the opposing team who has the ball, or who is waiting to receive the ball
• must move at least 10 metres away from any opponent who is waiting to receive the ball

Confused? ME TOO :-D :-D
