Positioning in rugby 7.

Question
Hello,

I've recently set up a small rugby sevens club in my city in Poland. I'm very interested in rugby 7 tactics. I was wondering if my knowledge about positioning is good, or I could improve it.

so...

1 - left prop - the tallest on the pitch (useful in line outs), quickly, score many points, play furthest outside   in attack and as sweeper in defense?

2 - hooker - smaller than the rest of scrum, more defensive tasks, good strength

3 - right prop - similar to hooker but a little bit taller, defensive player, play in the center of field, clear the ball in breakdowns ?

4 - scrum half - "brain" of team, not very big but fast and smart. In defense line play between 2 and 3 ?

5 - flay half ?

6 - ?

7 - winger - the fastest player on the field, score most points, play the furthest outside.

I wonder, if scrum half can also play at the same time as fly-half. There isn't great pressure when the ball come out from scrum so he could continue  without passing immediately.

If so, there are two players left - 5 and 6. They are rather centers or wingers ? What are they main tasks?

I will be very thankfully for any advice about rugby 7 tactic and positioning.

thanks,
Mateusz  

Answer
G'day Mateusz,

I have to be honest and say I am not very experienced in this situation. You might try a specific coaching web sight like www.coachingrugby.com or try a 7's book on line.

Sorry I can't be of more help but seven's is not something I am not very experienced with.
