What is an uncontested rugby line-out?

Answer 1

This is found in Rookie Rugby and in juvinile rugby - For safty and skills develiopment ;

Four players from each team will make up a lineout. For the team in possession of the ball, there will be one player throwing the ball in, two players receiving the in-bound pass, and one player who will move the ball away from the lineout. The defending team will match the offensive teams four players.

Players should not lift in lineouts until they have developed the necessary skills and strength. Lineouts in Rookie Rugby start as uncontested. The team that throws the ball in must be allowed to win possession of the ball.

When the players reach the appropriate age and skills lvels they will then content a line out without lifting (more in line with the original line outs pre 2000.
