| Ireland didn't help their cause by conceding a large percentage of their own lineout possession. |
|
| Stenhouse put Hawick ahead for the first time when Hawks were penalised for barging in the lineout. |
|
| Bristol had a lineout on their own line and hooker Neil McCarthy threw the ball long. |
|
| One thing is that, against Australia, their lineout jumpers will be much heavier than the Japanese. |
|
| With a minute left, Pock went for broke when they won a lineout in the bottom corner and tried to throw the ball wide. |
|
| For once, the lineout maul was regenerated closer to the posts and O'Gara was able to float his pass towards an overlap near the left touchline. |
|
| Predictably, they went for the latter with what is now the ten metres back restriction at the lineout and the hindmost foot offside law. |
|
| The 6ft 6in lineout specialist, who won two caps in New Zealand last summer, had been under pressure to stay in Scotland. |
|
| The forwards rucked and mauled to near perfection although they did not dominate the lineout like they can do. |
|
| Their scrum was weak and get-at-able and their lineout was a sham. |
|
| The Ospreys struggled to secure quality first-phase possession, naively throwing long at the lineout, which often yielded possession back to the enthusiastic Blues. |
|
| Prior to the legalisation of lifting, the lineout was a jungle, and a prime opportunity for forwards to leather each other without the referee ever being able to see. |
|
| At 6ft 5ins, even in this age of legalised lifting, he is not tall for a modern international lock forward, but much of his lineout work was excellent. |
|
| Hawick finally took the bull by the horns and, in typically rumbustious form, rumbled upfield where they won an attacking lineout right on the Melrose five-metre line. |
|
| A backline of young, emerging players struggled to capitalise on a strong forward platform, and the home team showed strength in both scrum and lineout. |
|
| That is at the lineout, which has been a vital phase of play in the past two matches and remains the only area where Scotland have arguably gone backwards in the past year. |
|
| The drive for the clinching score began from a close-range lineout. |
|
| Midway through the half, the Blues opted to kick for the corner from a penalty and from the ensuing lineout the forwards drove halfback Steve Devine over for the second. |
|
| Outgoing skipper Steve Borthwick led by example and was a tower of strength in the lineout on his way to becoming FedEx Man of the match. |
|
| A clearance kick by winger Matt Walls set up the lineout and No 8 Dave Ibbotson scored the try, which was converted from wide out by Dave Hall. |
|
|
|
| The big righthander got out of that jam, coaxing Vernon Wells into a soft lineout to third and Adam Lind into a flyball out. |
|
| This could, perhaps, be explained by the fact the English have so far come up against notoriously strong lineout units like Ireland and France. |
|
| Veteran lock Matfield admitted boss Heyneke Meyer's side must be wary of Ireland's lineout and driving maul in Saturday's autumn Test in Dublin. |
|
| Parling is in charge of a lineout that currently ranks fifth out of six in the RBS 6 Nations championship. |
|
| His ball-carrying was forceful and handling good although, to be ultracritical, he suffered more than most at the lineout. |
|
| But when Newcastle settled again an impressive lineout drive and Vickers breakoff paved the way for a second penalty, which Gopperth had no trouble slotting. |
|
| There was a scruffiness about their lineout work on Saturday. |
|
| In a troubled opening to yesterday's game, Wales' perennial scruffiness at the lineout was a concern and there were far too many careless mistakes for comfort. |
