[QUOTE="dobrien7, post: 118929"] You could possibly be a blindside (#6). As you're not the heaviest so could be lifted easily in lineouts. Also it may be easier to learn the game from there. Otherwise maybe a 2nd five (#12) if you're an ok tackler/passer and don't mind running the ball up every now and then, with the odd kick down field. Basically short and sharp sprints would help develop your short twitch muscles (that control acceleration). Try sprinting from try line to 10m line then jog to 22, sprint to 40m line jog to half way etc. Also check out the above with googling will help :) Let us know what you prefer doing, some love the physical confrontation, others running around people, some kicking. That will help narrow down where you are best suited. Other than that, try out a few positions and see which one you enjoy the most. Good luck :D [/QUOTE]
