(h) A forward who returns the ball into the scrummage after
it has been heeled out should be penalised for " wilfully
returning."
It is illegal for an outside forward in a scrummage to move
outwards when the ball has been obtained by his team and is
emerging from the back of the scrummage, thereby preventing an
opponent from getting round on to his scrum-half. This amounts
to obstruction, even if he maintain contact with the scrummage.
LAW 16.
Tackle.
—It is left entirely to the Referee to decide
whether a player is tackled as defined in Law 2.
Should the Referee decide that a tackle has occurred he must
insist on the ball being released immediately, and struggling
should be stopped by one of the following methods:—
(1) Award a penalty kick if able to judge which team is
responsible.
(2) Award a ,scrummage if unable to do so.
Sub-sections (b) and (c) make a distinction between the tackled
player being on his feet and being brought to the ground, and in
each case the word "release " is used instead of " put down."
A player lying on the ground may,
except in a scrummage or
after a tackle,
reach out and get possession of the ball, or pass
or kick the ball without getting up.
LAWS 17 and 18.
Off-Side and On-Side.
—A player is off-side
because he is in front of the
man
of his own team who was the last
to play the ball. He is not off-side because he is in front of the
ball,
except when the ball is in the scrummage.
A penalty kick should not be given against a player for off-side
unless he :
(1) Enter the scrummage from his opponents' side.
(2)
Remain
in front of the ball with either foot whilst it is in
the scrummage, not himself being in the scrummage.
N
OTE.
—A Referee should not penalise a player who overruns the
ball when it is in the scrummage if he immediately tries
to get back behind the ball.
(3) Stand in front of a line-out.
(4) Play the ball or interfere with an opponent.
(5) Wilfully approach or remain within ten yards of an opponent
waiting to receive the ball.

only be put off-side by one of his own team behind him playing the
ball.
