New name for "Number 8"

[sigesige00]

RU's position name "Number 8" sounds strange, because in the case of substitution the player number is not 8.
So new appropriate name should be discussed.
For example, "Midfielder (MF)", "Back Forward (BF)", "Fly Forward (FF)", etc.
Please tell me your opinion.

How can you think of something so trivial when rugby is still lacking a second crossbar? I love you sigesige, but sometimes you need to prioritize your convictions...otherwise we can't be together.

what i was thinking off when i made the name is that you get a blindside flanker and the openside franker and im sure i know its right wing left wing but im sure they're also known as the blindside winger and openside winger so the fullback isn't called the number 15 so for no.8 i picked full back rower or the full-back flanker
