Rugby positions

juvenal

So, we're all armchair "experts" here in the Rugby Forum, but how many of us know the basic positions of the game?!:D

You have three minutes to complete the list of the fifteen positions on a rugby pitch.

It took a little bit of effort, given the late hour, but I got 15/15 after some moments thought on

the two flanker's positions

.:o

Try and be honest with your results!

Crash

had the same problem juvenal - tried every possible name i could think of, just for some reason

openside and blindside

. Other than that, no problems, one of those times i'm glad my brain thinks

fly half before outhalf for some reason

these days.

dub_skav

fly half

To cheat you might try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union_positions#Alternative_names_for_positions

It might confuse you even more though

Noopti

Yeah,

winger

got me too.

thegaffer

1:48 myself, had to think about one or two of them aswell!

dub_skav

To be fair though knowing that website's terminology for the number 10 is far less important than being able to roar "he should have fcuking passed it" at the appropriate time

Crash

I think a better one is show us various infringements, in various jerseys, and see if we can name em - pretty sure most of us will be a wee bit blind when its blue, red or green jerseys in frame hehe

Sundy

15/15

The great think is there are still another couple of names for some positions, some of them used more in the southern hemisphere.

Fly Half, Out Half

first centre, Second five eighth (often used when the second centre plays a more controling game than normal. eg does most of the punting)

.

I had them all with almost 2 min left but "that" position had me trying loads of ways of writing it until the time ran out.:(

tribulus

How did someone get them all down in 0 minutes, 1 second?

I had about a minute and a half left. I typed in

and nothing happened. :P

Then spent ages typing in variants of

out half

. :pac:

Had to guess several variations of

loose head prop

Finished with 1:26 remaining.
