Dylan Hartley on the Lineout
Video Subtitles
He was lying out of started. Well for me first line out of the game is usually a confidence Builder. If you hit that one, you know, you go into a pretty positive mindset into your next line out and the day can be a pretty easy day from there. Where is it for you? You lose your first line out your second line that you start doubting yourself. You start doubting the caller little things creep into your mind. So it's always important to know your first couple of liner. You look at the score line. Obviously been watching the game like the rest of the crowd coming off the bench 55 minutes on the clock thirteen or so. I'm very conscious of that. I kind of want to go on and if anything add to the team or go unnoticed almost so the first line that's very important for me. I don't want it to be an overthrow and under throw don't want to lose your ball. We just want to win the ball and if you look at position on the field, it's obviously a strike play for us the chance to get into the game in an attacking move. And I know if you talk to a lot of hookers a lot of them probably. The first line out to the front to make sure they get it but with the good line out callers that we've got here in Courtney and Jeff. I'll throw the ball anywhere. I'll back there call as you can see here in this first one I hit the tail and the ball is good. So we launched a pretty good attack move off it get big believer Nepal over the game line and think we're going to score a try. So I've started this game. We're back in our 22 so defensive lineup and we've hit the front of the line up not because it's easy option but it's the option that's on and it's a clear throat, you know before a game. I talked to the lineout caller and he usually says to me these are the first three lineouts we're looking to do if this is arm will take this. So it's not it's not a surprise where I'm going to throw the ball of these you got a good idea roughly where it's going to go see first contribution that is vitally important in the game. You want to get that right for yourself, but also to make a statement to the opposition. Yeah also also to the referee as well say if you if you through the first one, you know to meet Not straight the Rifts got it in his head that you have in a shaky day. So he'll start looking for things like that. Whereas if your first line outs clean shows the Riff that you're on target shows you your own players that you've competent and it shows the opposition. If you do a nice clean Jewel that not going to get enable. It's going to be a tough day for them as well.
