Answer
Hi john,
If the coach is starting you at flanker and has no problem with your size then stay there. At 13 you have no idea how big you will end up being at 22.
Ask your coach but the best way forward is to play the position that gets the most game time. If you are being started at flanker then someone thinks that regardless of your size you should be there. Good work!
