**Lineout Setup:**

The team that is throwing in the ball (usually the team in possession) lines up 
in a vertical formation to compete for the ball. The player who is going to be lifted(
the jumper) stands in the middle or at the front of the line.

**Lifters:**

These are the players on the team who will lift the jumper. The lifters position
themselves alongside or in front of the jumper.

**Blocking Players:**

The blocking players are teammates of the jumper who will position themselves between
the jumper and the opposing team. Their goal is to obstruct or shield the opponents
from reaching the jumper. The blockers use their body to **position themselves**
in the way of the opposition, preventing them from leaping or competing for the 
ball.

**Lifting:**

The lifters work in tandem with the jumper to lift them into the air. The lifters
should time the lift perfectly to ensure the jumper is elevated safely and efficiently,
while the blockers do their part by stopping the opposition from interfering with
the lift.
