May I suggest looking at the IRB website for additional information as well
however, here in basic is the lineout and its fundamental rules.
Used in Rugby union, a line-out is awarded to a member of the opposing team if the ball is kicked into touch (out of the field of play) during a match. A line-out requires each team to form a line of players across the pitch at a distance of 1 metre apart from each other with the line of touch passing through the centre of the gap. The line-out must span between 5 and 15 m from the touchline where the ball is being thrown-in from. The ball is then thrown in from off the pitch by the hooker of the team in possession and the players attempt to catch the ball or to pass it down to the scrum-half, who is usually positioned just outside of the line-out in a close enough position to receive the ball once a member of their team has caught it.
The members of the team who are not in the line-out and are not the scrum-half must stand at least 10 m from the line-out. Once a player has caught the ball, they may hold on to it, allowing a maul to form, and the line-out is classified as being over once the maul moves over the line of touch. Otherwise the line-out is over when the ball is passed out of the line to a player waiting outside the line-out or when a player moves away from the line-out with the ball.
The way in which the ball was kicked into touch determines where the line-out is taken from. If the ball bounces into touch, the ball is thrown-in from the place the ball left the field but, if it is kicked into touch, the ball is thrown-in where the kick was taken from. During the formation of a line-out, the players of the throwing-in team will speak to each other by code before the hooker throws the ball in order to communicate to all members of the team (and especially the hooker) who the ball should thrown to, what that player will do with the ball if they catch it and what their follow-up tactic will be. The line-out code used is usually relatively complex to prevent the opposing team from anticipating the tactic.
