[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1116467, member: 72520"] This isn’t a bad point but it’s missing some nuance. Just because the opposition is able to mark the 3rd jumper with theirs doesn’t mean it isn’t more difficult. If there are more jumpers then more communication is required between the defence, more turning to lift, more movement on the floor, quicker reaction times are needed, etc. It’s small margins but they can amount to making a big difference. That’s why I specified ‘back-lifter’. The front-lifter lifts from significantly lower on the jumper’s leg, generally around the knee, whereas the back lifter lifts from around the butt. Because of that, it’s the back-lifter that dictates the height of the lift. As your 3rd jumper is generally going to be placed behind your 1st and 2nd in the lineout, that means more often than not he’s going to be the one back-lifting and so dictating the height of the lift.
