[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1054847, member: 73592"] Where do you enjoy playing? How to you like playing? What aspects of the game do you think you'll be best suited to? Also where would you be playing? and at what level does your club play? Answer those questions first, then at 6'0 your size won't prevent you from playing anywhere really. May not be tall enough for lock - (although even that would depend on the level) won't have the inbuilt instincts to play half-back. After that, just start training and playing; maybe some 7s or touch rugby initially, then off the bench filling in wherever, and find what plays you gravitate to. Be led by your coach as s/he sees what you can and can't do - but ultimately, find the position that best suits what you enjoy doing. At shitty local level, body shape doesn't mean all that much; and can be changed with training as desired (if you have the motivation); but if you enjoy running fast and never passing; then you should start out at wing; if you enjoy smashing people, start at flanker; if you enjoy smashing INTO people, try #8; if you enjoy making space for others, but finishing a gap that opens in front of you, then go for the centres. Equally, if you don't enjoy those things for each position, steer clear of them. Pick by actions, not physique [/QUOTE]
