line-out

Smash, snag, done

A line-out is a method of restarting play in rugby when the ball goes out of bounds.

Players from both teams line up perpendicular to the touchline while one team throws the ball back into play, with players often lifted by teammates to catch it.

In audio, a line-out is an output jack for connecting to external equipment: Connect the line-out to your amplifier.
