Wht is my best position?

Any more suggestions?

5'7" and 9 stone is above average for your age so I would think somewhere in the back row based on that. You can work on your defensive skills over time.

Well I am 32, 5'10" only 10.5 stone. Needless to say I have never actually been able played rugby as an adult.

I was wondering if you have any tips for me to improve my ability under the high ball, and are their any drills that I can do on my own to improve my technique, for playing both as a 10 and as a 15.

Thanks.

Biggest tip is to always look at the ball. A lot of people take their eye off the ball as it comes close to them. Your head has to follow it, so practise moving your head in an exaggerated fashion, following the ball as it goes up, then comes down. Then there are lots of other little tips, turn side on, elbows in arms up in the air pointing towards the ball etc etc
