[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 674214, member: 38640"] Just in lineouts and win the ball (you'll be lifted obviously). In defense, when you're not actually in a ruck, you'll wanting to be guarding fairly close to the ruck, so first or second defender out when possible. You'll mainly be trying to make sure the other forwards are not making ground. As a tight forward think of yourself as the grunt of the team. Hit as many rucks as you can, and defend the close channels. In attack you'll probably be used to hit the ball up by either carrying from the base of the ruck or recieve short balls (so stand reasonably close to ruck and nearish the advantage line, while not stopping the halfback from passing to the backs).
