Fullback or outside center?

2016/7/16 9:55:06


Question
Hi, last year for school i was forced to play flanker but for club I play outside center. My school team said I should've been fullback or outside center, now we have a new coach i can play either of those. We have a kid who can play outside center, but not as good as me. However we have no fullback. I'm thirteen, have a reasonably big kick, stand at 165cm 65kg in weight and am the best tackler on the team, I work amazingly well with our current inside center and I am pretty quick and can step someone when one on one. Where do you think I should play?
Thanks in advance,

Sam

Answer
Hello Sam,

It is hard to say without putting you through your passes. Rugby is a game for all body shapes so mere measurements don't make for an absolute answer.

I suggest picking a position you feel best represents you. Understand that players often change positions during their rugby career a few time before settling in. It makes for better over all game knowledge as well.

I started at lock, then prop, then flanker, then prop and hooker, had a go at #8 and even half back once.

You choose and do your best and be open to learn and change.
