I can't clarify the law regarding this, please help: White kick to touch from their own 22, but since the ball lands off the field of play, white forwards (who are upfield) do not retire 10m. Blue take quick throw in but have to keep the ball tight as white forwards are midfield denying any across field long passing into space. Are white forwards offside under the 10m rule, or can they hold their ground (or indeed, advance) as the ball went into touch? It seems that by not retiring, they had an unfair influence over blue's freedom to play the ball wide. :chin:
Thanks in advance, apols if this is a dumb question but it's a Sunday, I've been watching rugby all day and I've had a few beers! :biggrin:
