Offside refers to rugby offense. It means that a player is not in line with his teammates in the ball carrier. It is illegal to pass a ball to a player offside. It used to be defined as being ahead the third-last defender in the past. However, it has been extended to include all ruck participants in recent years.
In 1863, the original version of the laws governing the game included the offside rule. In the late 1860s, the referee was instructed by the game's founder to issue a penalty for any player who crosses the offside line. However it wasn't until late 1920s that the rule was modified to allow the next-to defender to be penalized. This change was inspired by England's loss in an international rugby match to New Zealand.
It also allowed for kicks. The line that runs parallel to the goal line is the offside line. It also passes through the hindmost point for a ruck participant. This law does not determine whether an attacker is offside and it cannot be used as an argument against an opponent. Players can use their arms for attacking the opponent from "hisside", but are not permitted the ball.
The offside law is quite simple but it is strictly regulated and enforced by the match referee. This is to insure safety. If a player crosses the offside line, he is penalised, and may be given a yellow card. Repeat offenders may be issued a warning card. However, there are exceptions.
If an offsider is in front of a ball, he is out. To regain his position, the offside player must move backwards behind the teammate with the ball. This usually happens when the ball carrier drops or loses the ball. If the ball is passed, the player may be placed onside. A player who is offside may be moved to the sidelines if he carries five metres or more of the ball.
The offside line will run continuously up and down the pitch as the ball moves. It is important to keep an eye on the offside line during lineouts. The offside line is not to be obstructive to the game flow. Lineouts are often supported by teammates if an offsider jumps to catch the ball. After the ball is kicked, the offside player must move back to the lineout point.
The offside rules in rugby union are relatively easy to understand. It only applies during the rip, or the process of breaking up the ball. The offside line is formed as soon the ball has been broken up. Depending on the set piece, the offside player will be required to fall back to his team's hindmost point. During scrum, the onside line is in line the ball.
Open play refers to a player who is less than 10m from the point at which the ball is expected touch the ground. The ball may be kicked to an offside opponent and the player on the sidelines can also be considered offside.
