Our club was actually called for that this past weekend. But nobody (usually) calls it. How frustrating that we can't either play by the laws or fix the laws to correspond with how it's called.<BR/><BR/>But, anyway, I agree, quick and sharp movements is the No. 1 variable that affects whether you win or lose a lineout. Well, that and how the ref might actually enforce the laws.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37313627.post-21726875129271166022007-03-30T12:40:00.000-07:002007-03-30T12:40:00.000-07:00Just a minor point on the laws. Although we obviou...Just a minor point on the laws. Although we obviously call our lifters "lifters" technically it is <I>illegal</I> to lift. Reference <B>IRB Law 19.9 (g)</B> "Lifting. A lineout player must not lift a team mate. <B>Penalty:</B> Free kick on the 15-metre line". <BR/><BR/>According to the exact language the team mates are really just "supporting" the jumper. Therefore, the "lifters" are really "supporters"<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I've ever seen this enforced. But, maybe a higher levels of play they'd be more fussy if lifting was very obvious...<BR/><BR/>PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37313627.post-41486445147640488722007-03-29T08:18:00.000-07:002007-03-29T08:18:00.000-07:00One variation that I run with my teams, (both men ...One variation that I run with my teams, (both men and women) which combines speed and fitness is setting up a grid 20 x 20 for each pod/thrower combo. <BR/><BR/>At GO, a single pod and a thrower run (not jog) the perimeter of the grid and on the call LINEOUT, they sprint to closest corner in the grid and perform a single throw. Similarly to Lisa's drill, they cannot move until they get a clean ball. They will work their way around the grid until they have 2 clean lineouts at each corner, for a total of 8 jumps and 8 circuits around the grid... the winner is the team that completes the circuit the fastest.<BR/><BR/>The goal being to work off the timing of the jumper and elevate the work rate. I found that as the fitness begins to wear down, my lifters are doing a majority of the work, becoming dependant on the cadence, and/or the advantage of setting up quickly goes out the window. <BR/><BR/>GabeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37313627.post-25643968004644978382007-03-29T06:36:00.000-07:002007-03-29T06:36:00.000-07:00Lisa-I really like that drill.

I didn't like what we were doing in practice yesterday because we typically like to time our lineouts on the jumpers for the very reason you state in the blog. We'll try it and report back!<BR/>thanks,<BR/>DeannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
