5 man line out option.
Step 1: throw to middle or back jumper.
Step 2: Jumper brought to feet and ball passed to ripper. Ripper then passes to hooker running behind. Hooker runs around line out and attacks the gain line.
Step 3: Hooker has option to link with forward group or use them as dummy runners and use a pull back pass to 9 coming around behind the forwards. Hooker or 9 then passes to 10 and backs can use dummy runs or miss passes to get wide quickly.
