[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 690107, member: 48703"] Can anyone clarify the law about the gap at the lineout? I was watching Canada vs Samoa, and at one lineout a player from the defending team essentially jumped in front of the player from the attacking team so that he when he caught the ball he was standing in front of him. Then I was watching another game where the attacking team had a lineout and the defending team's jumper was going for the ball and his balance in towards the attacking team's jumper so that they were side by side and what happened was essentially it ended up knocking and leaning into the attacking team's jumper and resulted in the ball getting overthrown with the attacking jumper put off balance. Anyone know the laws on this. How strictly does the metre gap need to be enforced once the ball is thrown in? [/QUOTE]
