The rarely seen 15-man lineout - technically a 14-man lineout plus the hooker - was spotted recently in a game between Magherafelt side Rainey Old Boys game and Limavady.
The Rainey U16s Schools and Clubs Combo team produced the move, and they scored a phase later after a pin point cross field kick.
In fairness, the defending side did well to stop the initial mass maul, but a few Rainey players had snuck out wide and were left unmarked to receive the kick assist from their outhalf.
The clip brought back memories of a similar move from Warren Gatland's Wales team against the All Blacks in 2012, when they scored a driving maul try after a 13-man lineout.
Rainey went one better, however, with every player, bar the hooker throwing in, involved in the move, while Wales left out their scrumhalf.

The video was uploaded by Ardan Goldbridge to tiktok on Sunday and has achieved viral success - with over 450,000 views at the time of writing. The comments feature contributions from the global community with many critiquing the maul and most dumbfounded by the sight of the lineout.
Now compare it against Gatty and Wales against the All Blacks.
