Such as first five eigths and so on. Why are they called what they're called and which one is which? 2. The lay out of the season in SH. I know the general drift of it but I don't fully understand.

[/b][/quote] I think the only positions we have different (cooler :P ) names for are: 9. halfback (think you all call it scrumhalf?), 10. first five eigths, 12. second five eigths and 13. center. I wouldn't have a clue why 10 and 12 are called waht they are though. A year in the life of Sivivatu would be as follows: Super 14 with Chiefs, home series with All Blacks, Tri Nations/Bledisloe campaign, maybe one or two games with the Waikato provincial side in the Air NZ Cup (towards the very end of the competition), then the end of year tour with the All Blacks. The All Blacks miss pretty much the entire provincial competition as they are playing in the Tri Nations. I'm fairly posistive that SA and AUS have a similar structure, although AUS does not have a provincial tournament like the Air NZ Cup or Currie Cup. [/QUOTE]
