Im surprised people even debating this. Laumape offside every day of the week there. A rugby 101 type decision.

What he said
-
@taniwharugby no, the law is you don't move towards the opposition or where the ball is going to land or you risk sanction. JB goes in front almost immediately after kicking the ball...
-
@Bones isnt that what I said, just with different words?
Laumape was in front when kicked and did move forward toward the opposition, toward the ball the entire time, so clearly offside.
@taniwharugby the entire time? It's literally less than a second.

@taniwharugby the entire time? It's literally less than a second.
@Bones doesn't matter. That's why I said he magically has to stop then start again.
Relevant law:
11.1 Offside in general play
(a)
A player who is in an offside position is liable to sanction only if the player does one of three things:
Interferes with play or, Moves forward, towards the ball or Fails to comply with the 10-Metre Law (Law 11.4).
&
(c) Offside and moving forward. When a team-mate of an offside player has kicked ahead, the offside player must not move towards opponents who are waiting to play the ball, or move towards the place where the ball lands, until the player has been put onside. -
@taniwharugby the entire time? It's literally less than a second.
@Bones so yes then, the entire time....in front is in front, and even more relevent is that he scored, or was in a position to do so....
-
I see Laumape slowing and changing angle to get behind Barrett for a pass, only to be put onside and take off again...
@Bones but even as you alluded to above:
no, the law is you don't move towards the opposition or where the ball is going to land or you risk sanction. JB goes in front almost immediately after kicking the ball...
He was still moving toward the opposition or where the ball was going to land, only way he gets onside there is to stop.
Think that rule of everyone being able to be put on side by a player moving forward changed last millenium??
