Law 19.8 covers where a lineout takes place. For a kick into touch it states that the location of the mark of touch as where the ball reaches the touchline.
I cannot remember seeing a lineout in a televised game where the lineout is taken closer than 5m from the Goal Line.
Can a lineout still be taken within 5m of the Goal Line or has the law been changed in line with a scrum so that it cannot be closer than 5m?
Thanks.
