[QUOTE="Blindside, post: 1008165, member: 74671"] Some very interesting points, I suppose the nature of the 12 you pick (at the top level) says more about the kind of rugby you are trying to play than any other position. The dual ability to play 10 or 12 is a common one, while it is far less common with 10-13. However many teams often play players at 12 who would not in your wildest dreams play 10, Jamie Roberts for instance. Roberts originally picked for Wales on the wing but soon moved to 12 "just" to cross grainlines and provide additional physicality in defense. Over the last decade, the two-layered attack has evolved and the 12 is making far more decisions (out the back etc) but he still expected to make hard yards, its just that hard yards is less often the go-to option.
