Last year I played mostly scrumhalf (wing if any starters were injured) and so far this year I am still at scrumhalf. However, at the last practice my coach told me he wants me to start practicing at flyhalf too (our starting flyhalf is reaching the end of his college career).
What are the main things I should be practicing in my spare time?
When I kick the ball down the field to relieve pressure, how do you kick the ball? At practice I was kicking the pointy end of the ball at about 45 degrees. This made sure the ball got height and air time, but I feel like I am kicking at least 10 meters short.
By the way, at my club we do not do up and unders.. just grubbers, occasional crossfield kicks, and just kicking for touch.
Also, does flyhalf need more or less stamina than scrumhalf? As scrumhalf I was at (nearly) every breakdown, what about at flyhalf?
What muscle groups should I target at the gym?
Basically, any flyhalfs out there that could give me some pointers that might take me a while to realize on my own?
