Answer 2

A winger should be able to tackle - especially on the run.  Should be able to rip (especially one-on-one).  Remember, because of speed and agility a winger (a good one) usually is catching the opposition backs.

Answer 3

you need to be able to kick reasonably well, have a good positional sense and be a good tackler, aswell as strong. but the four most important attributes for a winger are pace, acceleration, agility and quick feet. you also need to have safe hands for kicks down your channel

Answer 4

U need tonnes of pace and also strength, otherwise you'll just get pushed out.
