Question
Can you help? My team have a great line out set up and we are very successful in the air but we need a few simple moves to help us break down the opposition defense. Thank you.
Answer
A really simple move when your number two jumper makes a nice clean catch is to have the person standing at number 4 position take a step out of the line out and recieve the pop off the top and then set the drive on them instead of your jumper. The opposition wont be expecting this and you can often make quite a bit of ground while they try to reset to counter the drive in the new position. The same applys if your back jumper makes a clean catch the person at position one or two can take the step.
A favourite on my team is the "mixer ball" The jump is made at position two and the person at the back of the line out then makes a run to take the pop and run round the front of the line out and hopefully mess up the opposition again. I would recommend only trying this when you are close to the opposition try line and your forwards are strong enough to set a maul very quickly and drive it over the line before the other team know what's hit them.
Hope this helps
