[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 979725, member: 40658"] For me, this is a variable when it comes to rugby as it depends on the players themselves as well as the type of game you want to play and which positions are more important to your gameplan. A team who wants to dominate at scrums would pick props. A team who wants to dominate at lineouts would pick locks and hookers. A team who wants to dominate at rucks would pick flankers. A team who wants to play a quick game would pick scrumhalves, flyhalves, wingers and fullbacks. To illustrate, a team like Japan would invest more in flankers and backline players than other positions as it suits their style of play. South Africa on the other hand would invest more in forwards like props and locks. It's horses for courses. But it does help when you have quality in every position. [/QUOTE]
