Your literally the only person to explain the game and positions and still make sense. Thank you for this video 👍👍👍
Thank you. Happy to help!
Great video, it would be nice to have a more in-depth video for those amateurs like myself who want to fully explore the position we play and expand our gameplay, or swap positions once we known a bit more about the game. Keep it up!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure what you mean. I have just done a more in depth video on the rules if that what you mean, otherwise there are a ton of channels on CZcams that go into depth on individual positions like @NGRrugby and @rugbyslate
@@OfficiallyActive I mean really diving into the roles and responsibilities of each position and the different ways you can play it. For example a big ball carrying center vs a faster and craftier one, what makes each of them work and how you can improve on your game in these ways. Could break it down into a series talking about a few positions each video. Just an idea.
Noted. That is a great idea. Thanks 👍
Best video explaining the rugby positions for beginners on the web so far. Well done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ditto, thank you for the video, easy, simple and direct explanations
Thank you. You took time to go into everything so that I could understand and didn’t just say the position and end the vid like everyone else on here
Thanks for watching. I know what it was like when i first started playing
Thank you, this is the best video on rugby positions I've seen! Love your explanations and enthusiasm.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful. Its because it one of my favorite sports.
You helped me so much in my rugby club and I improved. Thanks for the video bud!
I was looking for this kind of video a month ago, couldn't find it, now it came to me. Great explanation buddy!
Mate appreciate it. Helped a ton. Don't stop making these videos, you are good at them.
Thank you very much. glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for this video. My daughter has just started u14s and unsure on positions and I'm just a casual rugby fan so not too familiar myself. She now thinks flanker, no 8 or scrum half will suit her.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it. At that age is all about learning the fundamentals and having fun. hopefully she's loving it
Super video I loved it! Need more of these
Great explanation, i think if some day i play i would preffer to be in the "back" than to be a forward
I just switched from 7s to 15s so this video really helped me figure out that i want to stay a prop😂. Great video man

this helped so much thanks bro
Thanks. Glad it helped
Great video
I went for a training session on the whim. First time I've ever played rugby and it was tough
Amazing video it helpt me very much
Thank you. Glad i was able to help 👍
Good lesson
Funnily enough, at the beggining of the video when he asked the questions on why you are interest in finding out about rugby, I answered no to ALL of thoes questions 😂
I am not interested in rugby in the slightest (even though my country is obsessed with the sport). I mainly watched this video because I am a writer, and in my novel 3 of the main chatacter play rugby (and it is a big part of their story/character arcs). I mainly needed help understanding what kind of possition each of them would play 😅 This video really did help me on that so thank you
Hahaha 😂 . Glad i was able to help. Do share the novel when its done.
Thanks for that, I have a game coming up and have no idea where the position are.
No worries, glad i could help. Hope your game goes well 👍
Good review mate , i play 6 or 5
I got put as number 8 on my upcoming game but it is just because next season i am being put as openside flanker so my coaches want me to try a back row position
Good vid im starting tom
im on the smaller size and im not fast yet in trials i easily got past the backs so what do u think thx for video
I play fly half,scrum half,inside center and outside cetre
im number 19 i think im the left wing, i like more to play right win, but im so fast and i have a explosive strenght
My choice in side center or out side center
There is/was no choosing positions in my rugby club. You just play wherever the coach put's me😄
I think I would do best as full back
I’m kind of scared to play rugby on my high school team, I’m on it but am considering dropping because the injuries look crazy. Especially the possible ones that could happen to me, I’m only 6’0 at 160lbs but am SUPER skinny. What position do you think i should be that would be relatively safe? What’s the safest?
How is it? 6’0 is tall
if ur fast go for a winger and dont worry about injuries ive played for a team for a few months now in england and havent been injured once just make sure to go into tackles fast and dont be scared
Scrumhalf but u sound big, so just dive in, I've been playing since I was 6 and I'm 14 now, and the worst i have got is a blackeye
WORST INJURY IV EVER HAD WAS A FRACTURED DISLOCATED WRIST 😅
I found when I played as a junior I was very nervous in playing as you are apprehensive at getting hit. It took about a season or two before you start to toughen up and start to get that fearlessness. By the end of my rugby days around 19 I could get absolutely blitzed and get up and play on. Just embrace the tackle drills so you get good technic and work on your fitness. The fitter you are the more resistent you are to injury.
I’m 9 and I love rugby I might be a centre when I’m older
This video just make realise that I’m actually not that bad at rugby 😂
Shout out to any guy who got moved to the wing because their position was taken by a better player
My highschools rugby coach, is telling me to try out and see if i like the game, i have no prior knowledge about this sport and this is the inly video ive understood about the positions 💀
Hello, I am think of playing rugby and I want to know what position i should play. I currently play American football I usually play receiver and quarterback and on defence I play outside linebacker. I am skinny and smaller with long arms. I am great at catching in contact and great at catching In general I am also great at throwing. I am decently fast,elusive and I can plow through people pretty well. If any one has good rugby knowledge, would you tell me what position I should play?, thank you
If you are going to play as a forward based on what you said. I would suggest number 7, these guys make decisions on the pitch somewhat similar to quarterbacks. Otherwise try out some of the backs positions such as number 11 or 15 they tend to be fast elusive players with a good catch to receive kicks.
@@OfficiallyActive Thank you
surprised about the sub count
Looks like winga for me
Outside center
Ok so im really tall and wide (kinda fat but a little) so im really big and strong and im decent fast like normal or a little above average what position should i play?
How you described yourself is how i would describe myself and i played second row. 😂 So i think that would be the best place to start.
Slight correction: 16 to 23 are replacement players, not impact players (however, they can be). The replacement players are used when a run-on player is injured or exhausted. For example when a prop is injured he/she must be replaced by another prop or the scrums are uncontested meaning that the team feeding must win.
Also, what is a deefensive player? I think that is American football terminology.
I think replacement and impact are used interchangeably
question: is #9 required to take ball from all rucks??
nope, as long as you're on your feet and over the ball anyone can.
@@mentalasylumescapee6389 i guess it makes sense to have one guy do it most of the time to maintain order.
Fullback 😁😁😁
I want to play for my school but I have no idea how to play what do I do?
School teams are a great place to start that how i started. there no expectation to know everything about the sport.
Can a flanker be Skinny like 37 kg which is like 80 pounds I'm 14 😶
I play 12
I play 11
Im a flanker
we do not care
I tend to be a fly half but me going to my new school I'm gonna go for number 8
Bro made this at midnight he whispering fr
I must be getting old. Used to be only 7 subs allowed. Your supporters in the stands were called "player 23"
Look like I’m 8
Well said!
To call a lock a "second row" is outmoded, and a hangover from when the scrum packed down 3-2-3. Nowadays it packs 3-4-1, so there are, in fact, four players in the second row! Similarly , to refer to the loose forwards as the "back row" is likewise an anachronism, as there is only one player in the back row of the modern scrum.
You say that the term 'second row' is outmoded as there are 4 players in the second row yet World Rugby Law19.5 states that a scrum (when 15 players are on the pitch) has "two props and a hooker in the front row and two locks in the second row. Three back row players from each team complete the scrum.
So to refer to locks as second row is not incorrect and is still relatively common.
@@MrPixiepantz It would probably make it clearer to point out the anachronism of referring to the loose-forward trio as, collectively, "the back-row" when, in fact two of them pack in the second row.
i'm tall, slow, weak, have finesse, and wimpy. so i'm not qualified for any rugby positions. i'll stick to basketball and baseball.
40% accurate, 60% garbage. It is like a primer for rugby players written by someone who has only played one season of rugby.
SOUTH AFRICA ARE GONNA WIN THE WRLD CUP......AGAIN
great presenter this guy is. not a good editor though. really mid in this aspect. he should out source editing or something
Very english way of looking at the scrum... Half explained and glossed over because of not knowing what to do with the big guys...
I'm 17 yrs old and I wanna play rugby now is it 2 late....I could've started at 12/13 but I chose drugs........I wanna change my life now😤
damn
@@ygk187 😂weed bro chill
