| This week we look at a new tendency in line-outs. We show coaches how the Sharks use a new lifting technique to get their jumpers even higher. |
| " This is a great lifting technique which I have been using over the last few seasons and I am happy that top teams are also utilising this method." - Jan Oberholzer |
| Lets look closely at the lifting method. |

| They back lifter catches the jumper again and put him down safely. |
1) It is clear that the support under the buttocks by the back lifter is an excellent method of lifting the jumper by pushing him upwards or shoot him up. 2) The front lifter helps with the initial thrust upwards and then he keeps the jumper in a upright position. 3) Coaches that still allow their players to lift their jumpers by clutching onto their trousers clearly don't understand what effective lifting in the line- outs are all about. |
