14. Right Wing

13. Outside Centre

12. Inside Centre (second five eighth in NZ)

11. Left Winn

10. Outside half (also known as fly-half, first five eighth in NZ)

9. Scrum half (also known as half back)

(Note 9-15 are called backs)

8. Number 8 (at the back of the scrum)

7. Open side flanker (usually takes his position on the open or largest side of the field of play in scrums – i.e. nearest to where most of the backs stand, stands at the back of the line out)

6. Blind side flanker

5. Second row (also known as lock) – pack down behind the props and hooker in the scrum, generally jumps for the ball in the line outs (usually the tallest/biggest guys in the team)

4. Second row (also known as lock) – as above

3. Tight-head prop (position on the right of the scrum and packs down between the opposition hooker)

2. Hooker (position in between the props in the scrum and throws the ball in the line-out)

1. Loose head prop (position on the left hand side of the scrum)

(Note: There are 8 forwards (they contest scrums and line-outs)
