re infringements in In-goal.
In general play, i.e., except when a scrummage or a line-out is
taking place, a player is off-side only if the ball has last been played
by one of his own team behind him and he remains offside until
he becomes on-side in accordance with Law i9. Such a player does
not incur any penalty because he is off-side ; he is penalised
only if, being off-side, he takes part in play in one of the ways
specified in Law 18
(I).
On the other hand, when a scrummage or a line-out is forming
or is taking place a player is penalised if he is off-side and because,
of. that alone.
