We have all seen this:
- ruck, ball has been won by red team
- blue forward pushes vigorously in the ruck, comes straight through the middle and out the red side where he is in the way of red #9
- red believe he is offside and committing an offence as interfering with play
- blue - and I often hear this watching other referees - feel he he is OK as he 'came through the middle'
where's the truth in this ?
