This is a matter of semantics really - our nitpick of the week.

Fabian Juries of Western Province runs forward and kicks high. The ball comes down about eight metres inside the Blue Bulls half. There are two Western Province players standing about two metres inside the Blue Bulls half, in other words about six metres from where the ball comes down.

They are offside. They do not go back in the direction of their own goal-line. Now they are offside and penalisable.

Till a few years ago this offside was described as being with a circle with a radius of 10 metres from the where the ball descends.  A circle with a radius of 10 metres is big. Stand on the middle spot and the diameter is from 10-metre line to 10-metre line.

That was changed. It is no longer a circle and so radius does not come in. It is now a rectangle 20 metres in width which stretched from touch-line to touch-line - a huge piece of land.

Law 11.4 OFFSIDE UNDER THE 10-METRE LAW
(a) When a team-mate of an offside player has kicked ahead, the offside player is considered to be taking part in the game if the player is in front of an imaginary line across the field which is 10 metres from the opponent waiting to play the ball, or from where the ball lands or may land. The offside player must immediately move behind the imaginary 10-metre line or the kicker if this is closer than 10 metres. While moving away, the player must not obstruct an opponent.
Sanction: Penalty kick
