If playing union, then a line out occurs when the ball goes to touch. I use this as a means of getting the forwards up the pitch in the hope of making scoring a try more possible. I use either the method described in the old rules, or by flicking the ball up the kicking wedge.
This picture shows the method of throwing the ball in according to the original rules, what I find is the ball quite often does not go straight, and takes a bit of practice to get a fair throw.
This picture shows the method that I mainly use for the throw, it is fairly easy to get a straight throw this way, minimising the amount of re throws that need to be taken. All a matter of taste I suppose, but I like the game to be fair for both teams!!
