The Forward Pack
Eight handsome burly guys whom you'll gladly give your
beer and food to, and you'd want to marry your
daughter. They are intelligent, elegant, sensitive,
and sweet. Truly the ideal men.
The Backs
Seven guys who will steal your beer while you're not
looking, take advantage of your women folk, barnyard
animals, and all tubular household objects. Often dine
on quiche, brie cheese and wine. Been known to
understand the rule of the ESPN Extreme games' rules.
Regularly take blow dryers on road trips, wear bikini
underpants, and carry STDs (AVOID AT ALL COSTS).
Prop
Short but stout, these strapping men support the
hooker, but no money ever changes hands and the act is
never specificaly named.
Hooker
Often identified by a balding spot atop the head,
these vertically challenged but talented men stand
between the two props, and secures the ball for his
team during scrummages.
Second Row
These tall powerful men are the driving engines not
only the scrum, but of the entire game. They can be
found working their magic from deep in the scrum,
behind the front row, or lofting high above the line
outs pulling balls from the air.
The Back Row
Usually the most handsome and intelligent, these three
men of strength are often considered the renisance men
of the rugby field. They not only control the ball,
but the entire pitch. Remember, the back row defines
the whole team's style of play.
Scrumhalf
The point guard of the rugby team the scrumhalf
distributes the ball, runs hits, and kicks. Scrumhalf
is only half as handsome and burly as the pack members
Flyhalf
The first of those back guys, and the first of the
offensive chain. Often confused with an insect, may be
referred to as the man with "the foot."
Centers
Another pair of those back guys. Either power runner,
or annoying scampering guy usually found in the
opposite order, but whose main purpose is to get the
ball to ...
Wings
Ideally the fastest men on the team. Their job is to
"score with the ball", but they often confuse it with
"get tackled with the ball." Also an excellent snack
when smothered in hot sauce and deep fried.
Fullback
The last line of defense. A back even the pack can
appreciate, often viewed as a back row in the larval
stage
