[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 867034, member: 20605"] I had a chat to a local referee who had seen the changes ahead of time and he had asked the same question. The answer he got was a bit vague, but it seems that when a player enters the tackle on his feet to form a ruck, a line through the back his hindmost feet is his team's offside line, and the line through the tackle gate on his opponent's side of the tackle is the opponent's ruck offside line, until an opponent joins, then that player's feet mark the offside line. If the ball is not clear of bodies between those lines, then it still in the ruck. [/QUOTE]
