Someone has just posted a question on the RFU forums which I thought I knew the answer to but looking at both the IRB ELV publication and the Hants Refs powerpoint I'm now not so sure.
For a 5m scrum (or a scrum pushed back) is the offside line for the backs the goal line or do they have to stay 5m back from the back foot?
I thought it should be the goal line but I can't see anything confirming that.
