Where should i play?

[noobie21]

iv playd union for 5 yrs but i never really settled into a position as i can play both backs and forwards
Iv playd every single position cept for front row and halfback
Im 175cm tall and 70 kgs
Im fast over 100m , 12 seconds and got a good step and fend
My catching and passing is not very strong and i cant kick too well either
Im not too strong either but my real strength in rugby is tackling and breakdowns, i often put shots and hardly miss a tackle
im also really good at turnover ball jackalling is wat u call it nowadays
So ive got a decision over openside flanker like a small fast ball winner at the breakdown
Or a defensive outside centre which one do i sound more like?
this is a high school team btw

I'd say openside flanker - tackling and jackling are the main jobs for the backrow, so you're sorted there
Your speed will help getting to the rucks/off the scrum etc.


Make sure you work on passing and catching though, everyone on the team should be solid at both!
