[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 999445, member: 40658"] Number Eight is much fitting. Go read on the history of rugby. the Loose Trio (6, 7 & 8) is a collective term whereas number 8 is for the player wearing the number 8, but also comes from the original term for that position called 8th Man. And in some languages it also means the "man behind" like in Afrikaans where we call the no. 8 "Agtste Man" as in he's eighth but also behind the scrum. I strongly suggest you go for a history lesson... [/QUOTE]
