The language in the U15 Variations within the U15-U18 RFU AG regs. remains similar, i.e.:
"6. Law 19 Line-Out:
(a) The lineout will be uncontested.
(b) Lifting and supporting is permitted at this age group, i.e. a player may bind to a jumper until he has returned to the ground."
As such my interpretation should hold. Otherwise there is no clarity of where you ultimately introduce the element of contest once the ball is caught and the player is on the ground.
