If a team has a receiver that player must stand at least 2 metres from players of his/her own side in the lineout
There must be a player in opposition to the player throwing in at the lineout and that player must stand 2 metres from the line of touch and the 5 metres line.
Law 19.7 (i) Where the receiver must stand. The receiver must stand at least two metres towards that player’s goal line from that player’s team-mates who are lineout players and between five and fifteen metres from the touchline until the lineout begins.
Law 19.7 (j) Player between touch and five metres. The team not throwing in must have a player standing between the touchline and the 5-metre line on that team’s side of the line of touch when the lineout is formed. That player must stand two metres from the line of touch and two metres from the five metres line.
Cannot recall having seen this ‘fixed’ position ever experimented with on the field or any discussions about it.
In fact, I’m sure there was even official IRB clarification late in the trial period confirming that the opp. thrower couldn’t go back further than his 10m line, or try-line if it was nearer.
Were you and clubs etc. ever notified of the change to that experimental law, or would the IRB have considered the change as too insignificant to bother with?
