[QUOTE="cyRil, post: 202819"] I've only just read this thread now and before I read any of the other suggestions I would have told you to run at centre, so. :cheers: Well, I play inside centre too and you need good basic skills obviously, a strong tackler, an eye for a gap in the defensive line and I also suggest you work on your kicking, as it's becoming increasingly important with many teams using 12 as a second playmaker. Oh and a lot of work on passing with your weaker arm. I find I have to step into the fly-half position quite a lot in games so accurate passing in either direction is a must. Hope that helps. [/b][/quote] I was hoping to jump in on this. I'm also new to the sport, but I'm much smaller than the original poster (almost 5'11, 170 lbs, not much fat on me though).
