In rugby, players are required to have a certain level of skill. It is also important to have strength and endurance. Players have to be strong and fit enough to make sure they can handle the gruelling rugby tackling.
Each position requires a unique set of skills. Some positions are more difficult than others. Fullbacks and wingers need to be agile in order to avoid being tackled. Fly halves must be able to kick and carry the ball. Defensive line players must also be able withstand the wingers. Fullbacks must be secure under the highball. Also, scrum halves must be good passers and able to pass the ball from forwards to fullbacks.
The best wingers also have great runners. Wingers must be able to get behind the line-of-defense and make a swerving run to break through. They can also move to the side when necessary.
A big winger can be a destructive ball runner. Their speed and strength can break through the defence. A winger averages 6ft. Although shorter wingers can be hard to spot, they can also be good ball runners.
The number eight position in rugby is crucial. This position is usually positioned near the back of the line-up. If a number eight anticipates contact he can force forwards to move back and accept the tackle. He may even flick the ball to a scrum half to start an attack. Depending on the type of play, a number eight can be very powerful.
There are many different types of number eights. Athletic number eights are usually placed at the back line-up. But they can also play a part after the lineout. The number eight may run with the ball, or push forward to take it from other forwards.
For backs to work well, you need to be fast and have endurance. You can reward these skills with a try. They spend a lot to keep the ball in their hands. They must accelerate when they are given a pass. They must then control the possession.
Forwards must be strong and able to take large hits. Their body mass is higher than that of backs. The majority of collisions between forwards and backs involve them in greater severity than those with their backs.
Props are one of the most important players in the game. Props are sometimes called the "pillars of a scrum". Props must be strong and able to lift their locks. Props are also useful for giving the hooker greater stability during scrums. Propping can help the fly half and the scrum half score tries.
Front rowers can be large and strong. They are usually the best defensive players within a squad. They can often drag two or three others into the defensive row.
Typical defensive formation involves a line-of-six defenders. The scrum-half is a link between forwards and backs. The scrum half may throw the ball out wide, or pass it to the fly half depending on the formation.
