Our lineout has 2 pods-red (front) and blue (back), stretched between the 5 and 15 meter lines. The middle lifter can be part of either pod. The letters "r" and "b" used in the call stand for "red" and "blue." The numbers following the letters, "1" or "2" indicate if the jumper should step forward (1) or backwards (2). The call for "yes" or "no" will indicate either the front pod (yes) or the back pod lifting (no). For example, a call of "R1B2yes" would mean the throw would be going to the front pod (yes), who would be stepping forward (R1) to lift.
