In a game I played in recently (old man rugby, not the highest pace):
Blue kick deep from their own half, red 10 gathers the ball just inside his own 22 and gets bundled into touch by blue 6. As the teams are running back, blue 6 takes the QTI 2m back from the LOT to blue 12 - who immediately gets pounced on by a still-retreating red 5.
Red were offside in open play from red 10's possession. Does the QTI count as a pass, putting everyone onside? Or does the opponent have to be onside to contest a QTI?
At the time the ref blew for offside, and it seemed like the right call (although I was blue 4, so somewhat biased ). Afterwards, talking to the ref about it, I wasn't so sure.
