The blue right-half is throwing in the ball from touch.
In position (1) the blue outside-right is on-side irrespective
of the position of play, because he has three opponents nearer
their own goal-line. Whether the half-back throws in from
position
(a)
or from position
(b),
his outside
,
right then is
on-side.
In position (2) the outside-right is off-side, if his right-half
throws in from position (a), because he is in front of the ball,
and has not three opponents nearer their own goal-line. If the
attacking right-half throws in from position
(b),
his outside-
forward is on-side in position (2), because he is behind the ball
when it is last played.
