In the present Rugby Union, HO is no2 and PRs are no1 and no3. Why? Why isn't HO no1? Very interesting.
HO?
PR?
You're going to have to elaborate...
Ah, I getya
Because they're numbered by the way they lineup when you look down at the field
In the scrum it goes
Prop - Hooker - Prop
---Lock-----Lock----
Flanker---------Flanker
------Eight-----------
------------Scrumhalf
---------------------Flyhalf
Winger----IC----OC------Wing
----------FullBack-------------
1-2-3
4-5
6-7
8
9
10
11-12-13-14
15
Oh, I was forgetting scrumhalf and flyhalf.
It should be:
------------1--------------
-----2--------------3------
---------4----5------------
------6----------7---------
-----------8---------------
-----------9--------------
-----------10-------------
----11-------------12----
--------13----14---------
-----------15------------
And, number 8 should have a better name. For example, "central midfielder".
Once upon a time, the fullbacks wore no. 1 and loosehead props wore 15. Except at the clubs where they used letters instead (eg. Leicester).
Is that why the tiger's shirts still have small letters on the chest?
