Position change..?

Question

Im 16, 6'2 nd in 16 stone (98kg) nd i know that i have stopped growing so i probably wont be playing second row when i play senior rugby. I am quite fast and very strong. where should i play, considering i do not want to play prop?

Answer 1

Wow. You are a giant of a 16 year old. I have just turned 16 and I'm about 180cm (5'11) and 67kg - that's why I play flyhalf.

Hows your ball skills?

If good, I would recommend Inside or Outside Centre (although Outside does not need as good ball skills as inside)

Second Row would be an ideal forwards position, but If you don't want to play that, Flanker or Number 8 would be great as well.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

PLay Winger.  Jonah Lomu was 6'2 and 112 kgs at your age and could run 100 metres under 12.00 second.  You ma have a chance to become the next big thing but then again Jonah ended up at 6'4/6'5 and 128kgs when he made the All Blacks and was clasified as one of the quickest over 40 metres in the All Blacks during his time.  Go and run over some little wingers is my call.  Stomp them bro!!!!

Answer 3

Back Row or Inside Centre

Answer 4

Blindside/openside flanker. The openside uses a few more technical skills such as kicking, but it is really all down to you. Good luck anyway.
