What position would he play on a rugby team?

Question

He's 5'8 or 5'9. 145 pounds. He's really fast and good with his hands. He can bench press 210 so he's strong, but not crazy strong. What position would he play on a rugby team?

Answer 1

i think a winger will be good for him he is really good 4 a winger

Answer 2

Anywhere in the backs.

If he bulks up he could even play loose forward.

Just the tight five are unsuitable. The front row needs bulls, the second row needs giraffes.

Every other position is more about ball skills and your style of game.

Scrumhalf's are traditionally shorter because they operate around peoples knees, but the world's best scrumhalf was for a time 6 foot.

My brother was the same size at 17, he was national U19s captain (not UK). He preferred fly-half or inside centre, but played scrumhalf, wing, outside centre and full-back in his career.  

Answer 3

second five eights, get through tackles and good busts  

Answer 4

Is this the same guy? What on earth happened to him in two hours!!! He needs to go to a hospital not a rugby club ;-)  

Answer 5

scrum half, inside half outside half or on the wing.
