Lost in Translation!

Hi guys,



I need your help. I am struggling to translate the rugby positions of players in different languages to English, or numbers.



Mainly it is Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese and Russian that i am having trouble with. The rest are ok.



So, if anyone here speaks Italian, French and Spanish in particular i would like to know the names of the positions 1-15. I know some, but am not sure what 3a linea means and it is difficult to understand for me.



Can you please list them like this..



1 Pilier etc

2 Talonneur etc

3

4 / 5

6 / 7

8

9

10

11/ 14

15

4 / 5 Segunda línea

6 / 7 Ala

8 Octavo

9 Medio scrum

10 Apertura

11/ 14 Wing

Here in Argentina we call them that way, but in Spain is different i think

Thanks dudes..!

I put 2 and 2 together and thought Apertura might mean 'Open', like in the Opening Championship in South American football.

Ok, so this means Spain and Uruguay are done now i guess most correct, and i have even thrown in some of the U-18's stars from Uruguay as they only have 24 senior players in the National Team.

In Spain they are mostly the same, but the flankers are called "Tercera Línea" (Third Row) or "Tercer Ala" (Third Wing), wings are called "Ala" (literally "wing" in spanish) and the fullback is called "Zaguero".
