When the ball leaves the lineout (lineout over)
There are a lot of ways this can happen though regarding the ball leaving the lineout. Also the interpretation of it can vary.
The bottom line to watch for most players is don't be ahead of the halfback before he passes to the first five. Harder to be called up for offside if you remember that. You can get a head start by going side ways towards your backline before rushing forward as long as you don't go sideways before the ball is even thrown in!

Thanks for the tip! Another thing i need to ask, once the scrum half recieves the ball,
is it possible for me to intercept the pass to the fly half? Sorry for the noob questions, i don't watch a lot of rugby because im in Canada and my first year coaches didn't coach us much about flanks (im in my 2nd year) so im just learning about them now. [/b][/quote]
Of course it's possible...you just need to be fast enough
...but it's pretty much impossible because the flyhalf will be standing back at an angle and you would have to be travelling quite a bit faster than the ball, depending on the angle.
All in all it's possible, but probably happens once out of every 3000 balls a scrum-half throws
Remember: You can't run past last feet until the ball is deemed out by the referee, and depending on the ref, that could be either when scrum-half (or whoever happens to be acting as scrum-half) has hands on the ball or when the ball is released from the scrum-half's hands. ALWAYS ASK the referee before the game when the ball will be deemed out.
