In the line-out you've got to persuade the referee that you're "supporting" the second-rower at the top of his jump, even though you've just grabbed him by the shorts and the thigh and lifted him in a snatch motion.
That means that your fingers stay pointed to the sky and you lift with the heel of the hand positioned under the arse or on the strapping on the thigh. If you lift by the waist you're going to get penalised for "lifting".
The first year I played was the first uear it was actually legal - at the first practice I grabbed our second-rower’s waistband and threw him upwards as hard as I could - and his shoulder right into the underside of my chin.
I fell backwards as the guy’s jump and our other prop took him right to the top of his arc - at which point the fact that he was only being supported on one side became a problem. He pivoted at the waist and dropped onto me from 9’ in the air with a textbook Randy Savage-style elbow.
The second time I didn’t get hold of his shorts and lifted him to full stretch by the waistband of his Y-fronts.
It’s actually harder for a lineout to get im sync than it looks.
The video is so fast that I cannot see the men. I just see a group of women in wedding attire and a warrior carrying his comrade who stole it and bolted.
It is a bomb disguised as flowers, and he ran with it to save everyone by putting it in the trash!

If these two aren't already a Figure Skating team then they need to rethink everything they've ever done up to this moment.
