[QUOTE="sigesige00, post: 993793, member: 42159"] Under the current way, 1 Loosehead Prop 2 Hooker 3 Tighthead Prop 16 Hooker 17 Loosehead Prop 18 Tighthead Prop This is strange. So 1 and 2 should be interchanged. (1 Hooker, 2 Loosehead Prop) The position name "Number Eight" is strange; because the player-number of this position is not always 8. So another name "Loose Third" would be better. 12 Inside Centre (or Second Five) 13 Outside Centre (or Centre) 11, 15, 14 are Back Three. This is strange; maybe in the old era, 11-12-13-14 are in front of 15. The current number should be changed to: 11 Inside Centre (or Second Five) 12 Outside Centre (or Centre) 13 Left Wing (or Left Back) However, the numbers of 10~15 are not so important; if a player normally play with 15, the number should not be changed when that player plays as other position such as Fly-Half (or Stand-Off or First Five).
