Friday Funnies - Fake Lineout Dummy Goes Horribly Wrong

Not too long ago in the ITM Cup in New Zealand, a nice clearing box kick from North Harbour earned them a good gain in territory, before a young Southland winger decided her would fake to take a quick lineout throw.

In theory that all sounds fine, but unfortunately he stuffed it up royally, and it ended up costing his side 40 metres. Aside from the howler, the referee chose to let play continue, obviously for advantage, choosing not to call them back for a skew throw.

Whatever the case this bit of gamesmanship, or showboating, backfired terribly.
