The Offside Line

The Offside Line Up-to-date rugby news, interviews and opinion, focussing on the Scottish game but taking in the rest

THE OFFSIDE LINE was set up by David Barnes in March 2016 with the aim of providing high quality, independent and up-to-date coverage of all aspects of Scottish rugby. Our website has quickly become the first port of call for all levels of Scottish Rugby Union, with match reports, features and the latest gossip.
