Current Referee grade:
Level 1
[LAWS]
  • 12.5 When the ball is kicked:
    • Team-mates of the kicker must be behind the ball. Sanction: Scrum.
    • Opposition players must be on or behind the 10-metre line.
[/LAWS]That is a change from the previous law book, which failed to deal with restart kicks properly.

For 22DO restart kicks 12.18 would apply and the kickers teammates could be in front if they retire and don't interfere with play.

Well, you brought up restart kicks and drop outs
But they are different in law

The question is : is a lineout more like a restart kick , where both teams have to be in position

Or is a lineout more like a 22m dropout where they don't need to be in position ?

I am paying attention to the definition, a lineout is a SET piece , where two lines form waiting for the ball

So a lineout is more like a restart kick, teams in position
Whereas the QTI is like a 22m do , not

Indeed this the whole point of the QTI .. it's the way to avoid the set piece lineout

22DO is a restart kick, maybe that's where some confusion is coming from, your misuse of defined law terms?

For restart kick there is no set required position, just merely to be outside the 22m (for 22m DO) or behind the 10m line. So behind the 10m line/or outside the 22m line anywhere is the "correct set position." So the kick can go ahead. If there are players inside the 22, that don't interfere with the kick until they get out the 22 I'm happy for them to play.
