I think most of us take the view that it is unlikely that the receiver can join the line at numbers 1-4 (measured with a full 7-man lineout) without having jumped the gun. But if you manage to get Usain Bolt to play for you, you might buck that trend! Also, 7's refs tend to be a bit more lenient in my experience - it's worth trying it on in a non-kickable position early doors to see if you can get away with it.Ah he'd have to be pretty quick then! Can this actually be achieved?
If you lob the throw it would be possible if the others in the Line out were right on the 15 line.
A legal way it could be done is if you are in the line and Peel forwards.
The video http://www.irblaws.com/index.php?law=19 on the irb site shows the very exact move described by the
OP and the following FK
Confusion certainly comes from the exception printed in the very same law that forbids this move.
Hi manager,Sounds interesting. Which section is that? The link isn't taking me to the video.
refer to Lawbook[laws]19.8 (i)Q. Do the provisions of Law 19.8 (i) apply to Law 19.11 Exception 2?
Ruling in Law by the Designated Members of the Rugby Committee
A. The provisions of Law 19.8(i) do apply to Exception 2 in Law 19.11 which means that a receiver cannot run into a gap in the lineout until the ball has left the hands of the player throwing in.

The IRFU requested a Ruling related to the lineout a few years ago.

Where the receiver must stand. The receiver must stand at least 2 metres towards that player’s goal line from that player’s team-mates who are lineout players and between 5 and 15 metres from the touchline until the lineout begins.
Sanction: Free Kick on the 15-metre line
Exception: The receiver may run into the gap and perform any of the actions available to any other player in the lineout. The receiver is liable to sanction for offences in the lineout as would be other players in the lineout.[/laws]Hope this clears up the issue.

How do we know the clarification 9, 2009 is still valid? The 19.11 reference that held the exception has been relocated to 19.8e
It seems this clarification is obsolete despite being on irb website.
I find the receiver entering the lineout as no big deal (I'm in the US).
