Once the ball has gone into touch, you can see the other pink players, who WERE complying with the requirements of Law 11 prior to the ball crossing the touch line, move quickly towards the LoT. These players are OK to do so. They don't have to wait for either the kicker or a team mate who was behind the kicker to run them onside.
Well, let's examine that view.
If the ball going into touch terminates all offside considerations, then of course anyone who was offside before the ball went dead can do what he likes from the moment the ball dies in touch. But as soon as you postulate that a player offside under the 10m law who did not retire can now be held to have interfered with the QTI, and so be held to account for his offside status, then you need to look again at the presumption you make here.
[LAWS]Law 11.1 (a) A player who is in an offside position is liable to sanction only if the player does one of three things:
• Interferes with play or,
• Moves forward, towards the ball or
• Fails to comply with the 10-Metre Law (Law 11.4).[/LAWS]
So as regards the second bullet point, there's no problem with him standing still. But what of the 1st? By standing still in an offside position 10.1m from the line of touch, doesn't he interfere with play?
If the kicker kicked from the goal line and the ball was caught 5m infield on the 10m line, then if the catcher stood still any potential interferer would have to run at least 40m before the catcher needed to do anything, because the offside players are not allowed to interfere. But if the catcher caught it with one foot in touch, then all the offside players can immediately close down his options from as little as 10.01m away. Isn't that interfering with play in the same way as failing to retire under the 10m law?
