Sportplan rugby has played a large role in my team's love for the game!
In under 9s the line-out is uncontested... can the player receiving the ball simply turn and run straight through the opposition's line or does he have to pass the ball / set up a maul ?
can anyoune suggest some line out moves for under 12s?
How is the best way to develop play from a lineout to expliot my teams strengh which is based upon fast powerful high scoring wingers?
My under 18 team tried to take a quick lineout with one attacker in the lineout and 2 defenders in the lineout. When he threw the ball to another attacker who was about 10metres behind the lineout he was told by the referee that the lineout had formed and could not take a quick penalty. What is the clarification of this as I always thought you had to have at least 2 players from each team in the lineout to say that the lineout had formed?
What specific actions end a lineout?
Any examples of lineout calls suitable for u14s
Can anyone explain what a quick throw-in is and how it works?
