What is the offside line in rugby defense?

The offside line marks the point beyond which defending players must retreat to be onside. It is typically formed at the hindmost foot of the ruck, maul, or tackled player. Players cannot participate in the game until they are behind the offside line, ensuring fair play and contest at the breakdown.
