What is the ideal height and weight for a Fly Half?
I've played with all sorts of shapes and sizes. 5'7 pocket rockets who weigh 70kg dripping wet to big 6'2 Southern African farmer boys. And they all have their own specific attributes. Smaller, fast guys can help get the backline going, moves are done at pace, they have the ability to break the line or make half breaks for support runners, whereas the bigger guys are great in D, have huge boots, can take on a backrower and offload out the tackle without getting smashed. So there is no ideal height and weight. You can get away with not being particularly quick, but to play 10 at a decent level, the one skill you really do need, is to be able to throw fast, accurate passes at pace, while under pressure. A very hard thing to do.
What difficulty of Rugby Challenge is this and what sliders are you using?You ideally want them to be around 7'5'' and rougly 180kgs, but they need to run the 100m in sub 10, step off three feet, drop 95m drop goals and pass accurately blindfolded. That's the standard I'd try and go by.

Diego Dominguez was just 173 cm, and scored over 1000 points. I think Bill McLaren put it best when he described Dominguez as a "wee bloke with a mighty boot".Russian Bear Alexander Yanyushkin (165 cm, 75 kg). Most little rugby player in RWC.
