How sizeable are you're props? Do you relish a tough hard contest? Hooker might be the position for you...

Or how about scrum-half? Having great hands is exactly what a #9 needs and a pretty good boot is a terrific added extra. Box kicks would become an integral weapon in your arsenal.

If you can get away with not being lifted (because you're a tad short), maybe the back row (6,7,8) is you're place to be. Whilst you may be slow over long distances, if you're pretty handy at short distances then you'd probably be fine.

Im 5'7 1/2, 16, and 175 lbs, and I play hooker for my school team, and played prop last year for my regional team (Technique over size for me). If you're slow, thats fine, as long as you have good fitness (every player should, yes, even props!) and can play the 80 minutes (or most of them) at your strongest. Hookers are a 3rd prop while scrummaging, and a 4th loosie in open play, so you have to quite versatile... you'll have to find a technique to get to those rucks without tiring yourself.

You could play fly half, obviously you need to be able to kick there and have good hands to unleash your backline. You wouldn't need to be that quick there, but speed over short distances would help breakaways.

If you think you could create and run a backline then 10 may be the position for you.

scrum half, not too much running involved and handling is key

sounds like you ought to be a scrum half.

be a hooker if you've got a bit of a belly on you and you like a scuffle.

you just need handling abilities because if you have rubbish handling you cannot pass it well

jyp, don't listen to minichez. A decent scrum half will run with the ball when the opportunity arrises, as well as kick.

Srum Half is a good shout but the key is you find a position whre you can paly at your level and enjoy it all.

 

[stuc]

the best position is centre to my mind !!!

 

[rodri_arg91]

I think that the best two positions in rugby are fullback and flanker...
you play a big role in the game, it's always fun

Maybe you could play as a centre, i dont know if you are a good tackler or not, but you could practice that and also practice some sprinting skills. cheers mate

 

[inakisuperyeah]

You can play scrumhalf or flyhalf, but you need to develop great reading of the game and a very wide range of sight. They're great positions (not my personal favorites, but you might enjoy them). The important thing is that you enjoy the game.

 

[Markg]

well.. No 7, Flanker, Loose Forward. I mean you can do anything right? you can join the ruck maul, cant be bothered getting there, just join in with the centres

You have pretty much the same stats as me, and I'm a scrum half. Its a good position because you have a good control of the game, you run the show along with the fly half, and you can be a mouth prick as well.

You just need to be an opportunist, if you see a gap, don't think about it, go for it. Thats what makes a good SH in my opinion. Anyone can learn to box kick and have a rocket pass, but that air of clinical thinking is something which sets you away from the pack.

Defo SH in my opinion.
