How do you make lifting blocks for the jumpers legs in the lineout?
having done a rugby tour to NZ as a jumper, the best way to do it is to get a sock and roll it into a thick rectangle, and average black sock should do. then apply medical tape on and an inch below it so it doesnt move. finally use electric tape in 2 straps either side of the protuding sock, which becomes the block so it sticks out more.
when lifting the front lifter should lift from the block area, and the rear lifter should use the V technique on the jumpers backside. the rear lifter should always be taller as it gives better extension, height and stability.
best of all its legal, as the sock squashes down to the IRB regulation siaze, provided you dont use a massive sock
