I reffed a game two weeks ago where one team had a curious line out move.
They executed a normal 'dance' with some players switching positions ...
..then the throw came in - underhand and low, about waist height, directly down the centre of the tunnel where it was caught - but not by the front player (who had his back to the thrower throughout, in a position as though he was ready to lift) - but by a player arriving at #2 who stepped into the middle of the tunnel to catch the ball as it arrived.
it was quite effective - the 'dance' had been executed to tempt the defending team back a bit and the #2 position wasn't well defended.
thoughts?
