lineout

Infielder's easy grab

A lineout is a method of restarting play in rugby after the ball goes out of bounds.

Players from both teams line up perpendicular to the touchline while one team throws the ball in, with teammates often lifted to catch it.

The formation itself is also called a lineout: They won the ball at the lineout.
