The underhanded throw-in looks so funny, especially with the little jump afterwards! I'm not surprised they no longer use that.
Brings back a lot of memories from my time as a hooker in the early 70s! I'm happy the game has moved on from those days! They were savage times! :)
My opinion must be isolated, but I would only transfer two characteristics from the 1980s to rugby today: 1. the scrum, which seems to have become an end in itself, and interferes with the rhythm of the game; 2. the rucks, all up and moving, without the current piles of players on the in-goal line. In the rest, especially in the line-out, I think the evolution of the rules and the way of playing is positive.
this channel is the best.
Back in my day, if our center tried 1:08, the whole team would be doing laps for weeks to come.
I guess it's what seperates us from professionals like these guys that can guarantee execution
Funny you say this, cos they were amateurs in 1968
In 2005 Ireland scored from a lineout. Then for 18 years nothing happened...
This is a good video... HOWEVER, it would have been good to see a variation that Scotland have used a lot of in recent years and that is to throw the ball in way over the lineout for a back to run onto. Also, I'm sure there was an occasion in the 2017 Scotland-Ireland match when the hooker popped it short to a back in the lineout to dart over for a try.
You've jumped too much. I wanted to know approximately which year wingers (and other players such as the scrum halves) stopped throwing into the lineout (who was the last non-hooker to regularly throw the ball into the lineout), and which year lifting became legal and was used (some point in the 1990s??).
Probably with the arrival of professionalism. It was actually legalised in 1999 under Law 18 of the World Rugby laws.
The frogs used to swap the hooker and SH back in the 80s/90s sometimes. I think because the hooker is more solid if somebody comes through?
@@footballhipster thanks. It would have been cool to see the first televised match where it was used. I'm sure the crowd would have gone wild.
The french team used wings as well in the 70's to throw in lineouts.
Lifting was a S African thing. It came in after apartheid ended and the Boks started playing again. It continued to be banned initially, but then they changed the rules worldwide.
I always thought some of these Six Nations match clips were lost media because of BBC's method of preserving broadcast media at the time (between the 60's and 80's)
What was the method at the time?
@@TCt83067695 To put it bluntly they would either discard broadcast due to them assumingly not being of value, or record over previous panels in order to save extra money.
sacrifice for the algorithm! o7
When I started in 1981 playing in seniors most teams had gone to hooker throw in a couple of teams in the comp I played in ( country NSW Australia) still had wingers doing it but by 1983 all gone . To the people say about lifting much better than in my day where you really didnt know where the ball went. Trouble with today too many committee meetings before the number set etc And I started as a Flanker and then hookers as I got slower . I Remember as a hooker some times watching the ball bounce from 1 hand to another and trying to work out to attack or defend LOL
Why did they change from wingers throwing in to hookers? To give hookers something specific to do? After referees started allowing the ball to be fed into straight into the second row of the scum, they didn't get much chance to do any actual hooking.
The worst thing that's happened is allowing lifting.
I wish that they had never brought in lifting. It has taken most of the challenges out of the line out.
That is/was a S African thing. Not sure when it started there, but after apartheid ended and they started playing everyone again they used to get pinged occasionally as lifting was banned everywhere else and they forgot themselves. Then the unions decided it was the way to go so it was approved worldwide. So you could say SA introduced it.
When was this brought in? I really thought this was ever-present.
Imo lifting makes it look like a real sport played by a coordinated team of athletes instead of an ungainly mess of trying to slap the ball. Just my opinion though
@@Kyle-mw3boI'm a relatively recent American convert to rugby, since about 2004, and I've got to agree with your opinion here. To look at the lineouts in the old days, I'm astonished that teams actually maintained possession for great percentages of time at all. Much prefer modern lineouts with lifting and coordinated throw-catch patterns. Makes the game cat and mouse in a way I like.
