What position should I play for rugby?

Question

Hey. Im 5'11. 160lbs. I'm pretty muscular/strong but I'm not a huge. I'm pretty fast I run a 17:30 5k. And when I played soccer I was usually the fastest guy on the field. Recently I've started playing rugby but do you guys have any suggestions on what final position I should aim for?

Answer 1

Hi,

I would say wing. The wings are usually the fastest guys in the team, numbers 11 and 14. If you have good tackle breaking and ball handling ability they could use you at centre, no's 12 or 13.

Answer 2

Definetly wing. If you are pretty agile and can kick well, then you could play fullback.

Answer 3

Ride the pine pony mate.

Answer 4

if your fast and like the running a postion in the back would do good...maybe the wing

Answer 5

i reckon thath you could make a good wing.if you can pass a rugby ball in both directions then u;l b ok..play 11 or 14..if you can catch and kick a rugby ball u can consider playing fullback..loose foward can be an alternative

Answer 6

IF you can run and change direction quickly (which is perhaps more important) then wing is the place for you. I play wing all the time and love it.
