Rugby: Offside



positions in rugby

Rugby isn't as straightforward as soccer. The rule emphasizes that players must be onside at the appropriate time. There are several phases during which the offsiderule is applicable. To avoid being punished for any mistakes you may have made, it is important to get in the right mindset.

If they are in front or behind a player who is the owner of the ball, or if it is taken from their own side, a player is offside. An offsider should not be able pass the ball before another player does. Furthermore, an offsider cannot be the first to run into opponents' backs.

An offside player will be penalized with a penalty as well as a scrum. If the offsider is caught breaking the rules, he/she may be kicked out of the match. Notable offside infringements include players crossing imaginary offside lines or passing the ball to team mates before they have the opportunity.

Another offside infraction is when a teammate is on the wrong sideline, or even the pitch. A player could also be penalized if he makes an illegal forward pass.


An offside refers often to a player’s inability of getting into a favorable position rather than his or her skill. There are times when an offsider can be a valuable asset. This is especially true when an outhalf or the outhalf number 10 are involved.

The line-out is one of the most fascinating aspects of rugby. The line-out allows you to start a new match after a player has been injured or when the ball is lost. A line-out is usually entered from the back of a ruck or 'hook'. Before moving, they must wait for the kicker's pass.

The line-out is an excellent example of how the offside rules affect active and passive players. Active involvement can include anticipating a pass from the opponent and crossing closer to their goal line. Passive players, on the other hand are not subject to offside rules.

Apart from the offside rule and the kicking game, players take turns to kick a ball. The kicker must have the ability to hit the target in either a touch, drop goal, or place kick in order to win the ball. If a conversion is awarded, the team must be able to make a line that is perpendicular to where the ball is touched down.

The ruck, too, is a crucial part of this game. Ruck is a game between two teams that aims to knock the ball of the opposing team out of the ground. Rucks are also great opportunities to score a try. If a team scores a touchdown, it is followed up with five points.

What makes parasailing different to parachuting?

Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. The harness lets you fly. The harness keeps you safe if you fall through the air.

You don't need any equipment to fly. Simply attach your body to the sail. Then you take off. As you gain altitude, the wind pushes against the sail. This forces the sail to lift you.

You keep moving forward, as you glide along ground. Your momentum propels you forward until you reach its end. You let go of the cable and you return to earth.

If you're ready, reattach your sail.

Parasailing is rapidly growing. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. That's almost double the number who did so in 2008.

Extreme sports may cause injuries if you tumble off a rock face.

This injury could prove to be life-threatening. Falls from a height higher than 30 meters (100 ft) you can die.
