NO4

To day is talk about Rugby positions.
Rugby is many kind of positions.Rugby consists of 15 members and there is a position decided to be each. This position is roughly divided into eight persons FW (forward), and seven persons　BK (backs). Furthermore, FW is divided into a front row, a second low, and a back low, and BK is divided into halfback, the three-quarter back, and a fullback.



about FW
If a scrum is formed, a ball comes out of a touchline and a scramble and BK will be caught in a ball with an enemy in a lineout, it will run immediately and will have a hard time because of ball reservation.
Although ball scrambles are the main work, occasionally it rushes forcibly, and it about a defense.
The role of FW  is increasing steadily in present age Rugby.
It is pushed strike  down, and occurs and begins to run.
The tough players who run about are the existences respected by the teammate, becoming an underlay or stepping on.


about BK
there are many players with BK slim to FW with which a fleshy mascly player ranks.
Female popularity is also overwhelmingly concentrated on BK.
Finisher WTB which SH-SO of the HB (halfback) team which considers how the ball which FW secured is connected to an attack requires clear brains and quick nature, finally flies a genius, and raises a try seems to be sprint runners on land.
I will see each position, recognizing that it can play an active part just because FW takes a ball.


PR
Perseverance is required of unsung heroes, such as a role of support which supports a jumper by scrum and a lineout.

HO
Although it is FL and No.8 that go to point [ with which BK was caught ] first of all, when the ball further develops, HO plays No.8 role.
It excels in running ability and judgment and there are many players with a dexterous hand.
There is even the joke "those to whom HO plays the piano, and those on whom PR shoulder a piano."

LO
Taking advantage of a tall, a high ball is caught by kickoff, a lineout, etc.
A team can be gained strength by the rush which benefits a giant.

FL
Taking advantage of a tall, a high ball is caught by kickoff, a lineout, etc.
A team can be gained strength by the rush which benefits a giant.

NO8
They are the side attack from scrum etc., a jumper of a lineout, the rush that supports BK and a path included in BK line, and a superhuman existence for which the most synthetic skill is needed.

SH
It is work of SH to always move about restlessly together with a ball, and to make an offensive rhythm.

SO
The playmaker which is also called an "instruction tower" in Japan, stands in the middle of FW and BK, and chooses the path, the run, the kick, and the attack

CTB
It is the main work to receive the path from SO, to devise, running perpendicularly or carrying out a long pass, and to extend a chance.

WTB
The finisher type which shakes off a partner by speed is assembled.
The scene which stops before tackler for a moment and shakes off a partner by momentary acceleration is a highlight of WTB.

FB
Although an ally goal line is protected as the last fort, it participates in the positive target instead of a goalkeeper also at an attack.
If you think whether rushed in as an extra man by playing using signs of BK line, broke through defense, connected the path with WTB, and it induced the try, a partner's kick will be caught and a counterattack will be devised.
And a long kick is kicked to the members of a partner for local acquisition.
The activity is broad.
