In rugby, players are required to have a certain level of skill. However, there are also requirements for strength as well as endurance. Players have to be strong and fit enough to make sure they can handle the gruelling rugby tackling.
Each rugby position requires a specific set of skills. Some positions require more skill than others. Fullbacks and wingers, for example, must be agile enough to pass tacklers. Fly halves need to be able move the ball and kick it. Wingers must also be able to beat the defensive line. Fullbacks should also be able to defend under the high ball. Also, scrum halves must be good passers and able to pass the ball from forwards to fullbacks.
The best wingers can also be runners. To break through, wingers need to be able move behind the line of defense and do a swerving run. They can also move around centrally when the team has to.
A big winger can be a destructive ball runner. They can be a force for good in the defense due to their speed and strength. A winger stands at 6ft in height. However, shorter wingers can be elusive ball runners.
An important attacker in rugby is number 8. This position is often found near the back line. If a number 8 anticipates contact, it can force the other forwards back to take the tackle. He may even flick the ball to a scrum half to start an attack. Depending on the type of play, a number eight can be very powerful.
There are many types and styles of number eights. Athletic ones are usually positioned towards the back of the line-up. They can play an important role in the line-out. The number eight usually runs with the ball and may push forward to grab it from the forwards.
For backs to work well, you need to be fast and have endurance. These skills are rewarded with a chance. They spend a lot to keep the ball in their hands. They must accelerate after receiving a pass. Afterward, they must control the possession.
Forwards must have the ability to withstand heavy hits and to be physically strong. Their body mass is higher than that of backs. Typically, forwards are involved in more physical collisions than backs.
Props are the most important players on the field. Props are often called the pillars in a scrum. Props should be strong enough to support their locks. Props provide more stability for the hooker during scrums. Propping can help the fly half and the scrum half score tries.
Front rowers are big and strong. They are typically the best defensive players in a squad. They can drag two or three opponents into the defensive ruck.
Typical defensive formation involves a line-of-six defenders. The scrum half acts as a link between the backs and forwards. Depending on the formation, the scrumhalf will either pass it to a fly or throw it wide.
