No, the offside line in the breakdown and the gain line are distinct concepts in rugby. The offside line in the breakdown is formed when the breakdown occurs, delineating where players must be positioned to maintain an onside position. The gain line, on the other hand, refers to the point on the field where the attacking team gains or loses ground relative to their starting position. Both lines are crucial in determining player positions and influencing tactical decisions during a match.
