R80 Rugby Lifting Blocks
The R80 Rugby Lifting Block is the original patented lineout lifting aid, consisting of heavy-duty neoprene housing a rubber lifting block. Designed to be gripped securely by lifters during lineout jumps, R80 lifting blocks provide a safe, reliable, and legal grip point that protects both the jumper and the lifters during the lineout. The R80 design is used by club, provincial, and international rugby teams and is the most widely used lineout lifting block in the game.
Why Use Lineout Lifting Blocks?
- Safety — lifting blocks provide a defined, secure grip point for lifters, reducing the risk of slipping or losing control of the jumper during the lineout
- Legal compliance — World Rugby laws require that lifters grip the jumper at the shorts or thighs — lifting blocks worn on the shorts provide a safe and legal grip point that meets these requirements
- Performance — a secure, consistent grip allows lifters to generate maximum height and hold the jumper at the top of the lineout for longer, improving the quality of ball won
Who Uses Lineout Lifting Blocks?
R80 lifting blocks are used at all levels of rugby from club to international — from underage club rugby in Munster to provincial and international teams. Any rugby club that competes in lineouts at U14 level and above will benefit from a set of R80 lifting blocks for training and match use.
