[Line out] Another Line Out Question..

[thepercy]

18.27 refers to the thrower and his opposite number not the receiver.

OK, I missed that this law only applied to throwers and their opponent in the tram lines.

18.33 Allows any "participating player" to join a ruck or maul formed from a LO.

I hadnt clocked 18.33, thanks.. Just about every combination is covered except the receiver joining the line, suggesting it was an intended change...

Isn't the receiver is a player in the line out.

I find it odd that the thrower can only move to the receiver's position if it is empty, but any player in the line-out can move to the receive the ball, regardless of other receivers. The thrower can join the line and then peel.
