That's interesting. Lifting to catch the ball. It ends up a lot like the lift in Pechalat and Bourzat's Mummy free dance in 2011-2012.

Yes, it does look kind of like P/B's lift that they've done for years. Except Bourzat doesn't just stand around on both feet - take that, rugby players!
OTOH, Pechalat weighs less than a rugby player, and they don't have a bunch of people rushing at them. So I guess it evens out

Impressive. Lifts are of course common in lineouts but that kind of lift is very unusual, I've never seen anything like it!
I did like how he attempted to put him down in a gentlemanly way. However it's a bit tricky when a probably 700kg+ opposition pack is bearing down on you.
