Line-outs - We look at a great four man line-out
variation Victor Matfield uses more than any
other variation and that is why we called it the
"Matfield variation". We show coaches three
examples of this variation.

" This is a very excellent four man line-out variation, where a
team can get a good, fast ball from the front of the line-out
without too much sweat. "- Jan Oberholzer

We look at the three line-out examples

Matfield in the scrumhalf position with three
openings to jump into.

The "Matfield Variation" line-out
|
Matfield is ready to jump.
|
_____________________________________________________________________________
Matfield stands away from the line-out with
three openings to jump into.
|
He moves forward ready to jump in front.
|
He suddenly accelerates and jumps in front
|
_____________________________________________________________________________
Why is this line-out variation working.
1. The opposition never know where Matfield is going to jump,
because there is three openings to jump into.
2. He jumps into the hands of his strong front lifter.
3. He use his forward momentum to get quickly into the air.
4. His opposition jumper can only follow him and will always be late.
