[Tackle] No-tackle. Can offside lines be estabilshed by being over the ball ?

[mich]

Standing over or not may be kinda subjective part in this thread. I will accept your judge as well but this thread started considering he was standing over the ball. :->

BTW, thepercy and Pinkey were the first pointing out that the ruck condition can be considered met.

I was wrong.

If this were TWOL (but not), the ball still in the tackle area would have preserved the offside line.
However, since this is now about a ruck, the position of the ball relative to players over it matters - offside lines were resolved once the ball was out of the ruck.
