I know every position in rugby is important in it's own way, but I know there are some more important than others. What are the leading positions in rugby?

But you don't get goal kicking opertunities without a dominant pack anyway, so it's irrelavant. 2003 World Cup final, while Wilkinson played well, you could say the game was won by Richard Hill.Agree with Bullit...
Although
Your goal-kicker is slightly more important than anyone else, doesn't matter where he plays... Just ask Joel Stransky, Percy Montgomery or Johnny Wilkinson...
Reliable goal-kicker = World Cup wins, Last gasp wins, or steals....[/b]

Mega post.Without a prop, there is no scrum.
Without a hooker, there's no point in having a scrum.
Without a second row, the lineout is a waste of time.
Without the backrow, you'll never win the ball.
Without a scrum half, the backs will never see the ball.
Without a flyhalf, the centres will never be able to weave their magic.
Without centres, the wingers will never be able to finish the moves.
Without wingers, the centres will never have that last pass available.
Without a fullback, that final-minute, last-gasp, try-saving, match-winning defender isn't there.[/b]

In 2003 England wouldn't have won with their current loose forward trio either. I what you mean in that a goal kicker could have added importance, it's just that they don't get the oppertunities to be good goal kickers without the ball retention of the forwards.[/b]
