[edit] Quick Line Outs

I think this rule (which confuses many rugby fans) should be summarised by somebody who knows what they are talking about (not me). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.33.140 (talk) 13:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lifting

I was under the impression that the laws had been changed to allow lifting, but I'm not sure whether it has or whether it's equivalent to the league requirement that scrums not be fed. Anyone know? Hig Hertenfleurst 13:15, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

AFAIK you can support but you cannot lift. This was a rule I think that the South Africans developed during their exile from international rugby and was adopted by the IRB shortly after their return.GordyB 13:28, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That's correct. And that sentence about "more in the breach than the observance" is lovely. -- GWO

[edit] Article move to Line-out (rugby sports)

Articles should not be disambiguated unless there is a need to do so. Until there is an article or a demonstrable need for an article called "line-out" that is not about rugby union then this article should not have brackets after its name. Since the line-out article did nothing but redirect to the newly renamed article then it was pointless.

In particular, it should not have been called "rugby sports" because a) it is ungrammatical b) only one sport has line-outs (rugby union).GordyB 09:54, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
