3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
Judged on your position at the moment of the kick, so even if you drop back onside to receive it, you're still offside. And a late flag is deliberate — the official ‘delayed flag’ procedure — so hold the jeers.
On the call you'll hear“It's in — no, the flag's up! The run was just a fraction early.”
