Session Plan - Lineout Fundamentals - HS and A with The Rugby Site

Part 2. Speed on the Ground Primer

Ex Springbox lock (and tallest ever Springbox lock), Andries Bekker presents some Lineout Primers he uses to prepare his Kobelco forwards for their Lineout unit session. Pivot and jump off both feet. Jump for maximum height. Less steps means less time for opposition to react.

Part 3. Front and Back Lifters

Jase looks at the Lineout lifter and jumper roles during the lift.

Speed, explosive aerial movement creating stability in the air and stay connected as a group.

Part 4. Hands in the Basket 4 Man drill

Jase adds a competitive Lineout primer drill to his Lineout series involving hooker, 2 jumpers and scrum half.

Hands under the opponent’s arms, coming into the ‘basket’ not over, and in their face blocking the view!

Note contact is limited in some areas and only use this drill if permitted under your restrictions.

Part 5. Putting it All Together

Jase Ryan, pieces all the parts of the lineout together.

Explosive speed, accuracy and combination between the players is the key.

Part 6. Technical and Tactical

Having warmed up, Victor Matfield shares the technical and tactical lineout skills he has developed over his playing and coaching career. “The most important thing in a lineout is that you do your basics right and then its like a chess game, when do you make what call”.
