Dunno what calls they have in professional rugby probably a lot. When I played rugby our lineout call was pretty simple. It was "**** the pig". **** would be to the back of the lineout, the to the middle and pig to the front. We would usually put them in 3 letter calls with the middle letter corresponding to one of the words in the call. So if the ball was to be thrown to the middle the call would be something like "AEZ" or "WUK" would be to the back of the line out.

What was the point? This doesnt tell us anything except that Manawatu are an awful side. Surely it would have been better for everbody if the Lions faced a half decent side so we could see which players are in form and are good enough to face the all blacks.
A total waste of time IMO! |
They are by far the weakest side of the tour so far.
