Law 20.12 (b) - Offside for scrum-halves.
When a team has won the ball in a scrum, the scrum half of that team is offside
if both feet are in front of the ball while it is still in the scrum.
If the scrum half has only one foot in front of the ball, the scrum half is not offside.
Hang on, as soon as he's put the ball in he's offside ?
He'd better move damn quick as soon as he's released the ball then !?
But let's go on to read the next paragraph...
20.12 (c)
When a team has won the ball in a scrum,
the scrum half of the opposing team is offside
if that scrum half steps in front of the ball
with either foot while the ball is still in the scrum.
This scrum-half may not move into the space between the
flanker and No. 8 when following the ball through the scrum.
Hang on ! Is it 1 foot or both feet now ?
I'm confused. Help !
