The air time is unbelievable 🤯#Rugby #RWC2023
RugbyPass shows the rehearsal first: Argentina's players practicing a lineout lift that sends their jumper high above his teammates. Then comes the match footage, with Juan Martín González hoisted into the air to win the ball against England at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The Short has drawn roughly 35,000 views in eighteen hours, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for this format. After the rugby negotiations featured here yesterday, this upload puts the physical mechanics of a set piece at the center of attention.
For anyone unfamiliar with a lineout, teammates can lift a jumper to contest a ball thrown back into play from the touchline. Here, the contrast between practice and execution is the point: González reaches the ball, Argentina secures possession, and play moves on. Multiple slow-motion angles then give the unusually high lift another look.
The comments are several times busier than a usual first day. Viewers are asking whether the movement takes the jumper across the lineout and whether the lift is legal. The clip offers no spoken explanation or refereeing analysis; its final replays concentrate on González's height and the ball he wins.
