Default fixing 2" broken spinkler pvc line

Okay guys,,,put your thinking caps on. My main sprinkler line from my
pump to my irrigation system broke. It is a 2" PVC line...The problem
is this...there is no way to replace the broken line because I can not
bend the pipe in order to slide the fittings together. I have tried
the rubber type flexible pipe and with the pressure it pops off. I am
wondering if anyone has any ideas or can I create a 4x90degree in
order to create proper connections. Will the 90 degree angles handle
the pressure?

HELP


Either cut off a bigger section and use two couplings to splice in a
repair section of 2", or, if it's buried, dig up more of the 2" pipe
so you'll have some wiggle room.
