Which rugby position should i play!?

Question

hi

ive just started play rugby. I'm 5'11. 150lbs. I can run fast and i can tackle good, I'm quite muscular as i like to box and work out quite a lot.

I have been training to join my local rugby club for the past 6 months, getting up every morning for a run and never forget to work out ( apart from on weekends! ). I dont really know much about rugby, i like watching it and i have played a bit in the past but nothing big. Im good at running with the ball and kicking it.

Where should i play?!!

PLEASE HELP!

THANKS!

Answer 2

loose foward or fullback(if you like to kick.)

Answer 3

I think you would be good at fly-half, which is part of the backs. it's so much fun you get the ball a lot and you get to kick a lot. just keep working on passing/running with the ball and kicking it.

Answer 4

hey they say that if you want to be a back you should be able to run 80 min straight with no problem. to me you sound like a back. in rugby a back does a lot of running and sometimes a lot of kicking, you also would have to be able to do open field tackles. if this does not sound like you or you want to be in the pack i would recommend 8man or flanker.  chances are that the rugby club you are joining will tell you where  you will be the most beneficial. good luck, rugby is tons of fun!

Answer 5

I would suggest being a flanker or second row, cause as you say u are muscular and if you like to smash into people this would be your job, you stil lhave to do quite alot of running as a forward to support the back but as long as you have fun rugby is good no matter where you play

Answer 6

You should either play flanker or outside centre because you sound quality mate.

Answer 7

I'd suggest fullback until you get all the rules and the flow down. DEFINITELY not flyhalf though, a flyhalf needs to know how to make game time decisions on the run. When you get into the game a little more I'd say winger. Best of luck to you

Answer 8

i thinkthat you shud be a full back as if you are so keen on kickin, running and yackling it sounds like the perfect position
