Just wondering as everyone always talks about the center partnership but surely a flyhalf is virtually a center now.

I notice the taller players tend to be better but surely it would better if the player was shorter they could gain levarge.

Before you point out their size and athleticism you have to remember that they would need more fat as to protect them from the hits (muscle does not give as much protection on it's own) so their athleticism would be impacted. They could not weigh the same due to fitness levels. And they will not have the same level of skill.

I know nfl players would be unsuitable for rugby union but with league's interchanges and the fact players don't need to run to rucks help them. I know they would need some time but say you give them 6 months to practice do you think they could do it.

I am already lifting weights and doing cardio but I was wondering if it would be good for rugby?

I'm starting ice hockey soon and I think I have the basics nailed but I am unsure as to what position I will end up playing. I am 15 5'9 200lbs relativity muscular and extremely strong and tough. I am extremely aggressive and love body checking although I am not great at passing.

How people can say rugby players aren't good athletes is ridiculous they have better stamina than NFL or NBA are freakishly strong, fast and athletic.

Should I blindside be the biggest of the backrow or should it be the number 8?

Also how much of a difference is there between the faster left tackle and the stronger right tackle.

I know not many props regularly contest at the breakdown but I feel that as a prop I am hard to push off the ball and have a knack for being near the ball at all times.

Also do you think size dictates the player's running style.

In America on holiday I mentioned that I was an atheist immediately I was told that I was wrong and then

told that I was going to hell I replied that I don't believe in fairy tales. Then they swore at me what the hell is wrong with them??

Is there any difference between the:

Props

Center

Second Row

My coach gave us all advice of what each of us could work on to improve he told me that I was too destructive in the scrums as a prop against opposition tight heads.

I am 15 weigh 217 lbs and am 6'0 I'm new to football. I am very strong, deceptively mobile and have good cardio. I played rugby before so I can tackle, catch and I'm a good at rucking (which I guess could relate to blocking). Where am I likely to play so I can work on my technique.

I just started as a bouncer in a night club notorious for fights. If I were to drag someone out of the club am he swings for me can I use self defense what are the rules for self defense because last night a man tried to push past me and I threw into a wall and he collapsed he said something like I gonna kill you didn't bother me one little bit but was this legal someone video me and now I look back at it I was way too aggressive.

I can't think of one reason why tackles should be bigger especially LT as there are plenty of smaller pass rushers they have to take on while guards block 320+ pound DT so why are they smaller

P.S. I am not talking about height rather weight

I am currently 104 kg (16st 6lbs) and 183cm (6ft) and a very good fetcher, decent carrier and extremely mobile. I am 19 and we currently have a very strong and fast back row but we don't have genuine fetcher apart from me but I am on the bench for the 1st XV so he asked (told) me to play hooker but I don't look like one I am a short but solid back-rower. I recently read a article about hookers and mention moving back row players to hooker do you agree with.
