Am I in good shape for college rugby?

Question

Im a 17 year old guy and I'll be playing flanker(wing forward)

5'10

203lbs

8% body fat

5:45 mile

I can run a pretty fast mile but in short sprint bursts, I can literally achieve super-human speed. All you see is a blur and then.......BOOM!!!! haha

Answer 1

yes u are in good shape.

Answer 2

If you're a good sprinter, why don't you play as a back. I'm 6'2 and 220lbs and even though i'm a number 8, I still occasionally play in the backs.

Answer 3

If u love tackling and smashing up your opponantes then i think u need to buld a bit  more muscle or wieght.

Remember flamkers are wankers to the oppisition.So give them a hard time

Answer 4

But can you tackle. Doesn't matter how big or fast you are if you can't tackle, there's not much point is there.  There's also the rucking and mauling as well.

If you need a good agent, I hear Stan Lee is free.

Answer 5

The question is not how fast you are as a flanker/wing forward, but rather hos accurate you are on the ground, that is recovering the ball in contact, and how well you support other players.

Rugby is a game where the team requires everyone to support one another and individual brilliance are much less important.

Answer 6

if u can hammer a guy dwn in using that speed of urs then sure u'll have no sweat being in a College Rugby team because the faster u r when tackling the greater the impact & if ur as fit as u say u r then the real test 4 u will be 2 hammer the guy dwn & keep him dwn........

Answer 7

maybe you should just eat a car or two for them, that might impress them.
