[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 719615, member: 45598"] Most of it covered up there. Communication with the 10 is key, they/we can make us/you look really bad if you don't communicate! :p Listen to him and know exactly what he wants and give him what he wants unless you think you see see a better option, if he's not talking enough tell him to start barking orders left right and centre. Other than that you want to make your pack hate you a little bit by ordering them around like the slaves they are and make the other team hate you a lot by shouting during line-out calls, asking their 9 to put it in straight before every scrum, pat them on the head when they do something wrong, push them to the deck when they're getting up on your way to the next ruck etc... General annoying things that can't get you in trouble, the more the other side hates you the better you've played. Stay alert, always take a quick look at their defence between breakdowns and don't be afraid to put a few kicks into the corner or snipe around the fringes to keep them honest. Defence will be covered by your coaching, generally you sweep behind the defensive line looking to clean up kicks and line breaks, order your pack around and watch out for box kicks if your wings wander up. Your role in the kick chase varies from team to team. Aaaaand be incredibly polite to the ref, ask him to explain any decisions you don't understand against you and even chat to him during stoppages, if he likes you you're going to have a nice time!
