Yeah I know that usually the #12 is the smart player who can pass and the #13 is the ball carrier who can't pass like Manu Tuilagi, AAC or Bastareaud.
But what is the real difference between their roles?
Someone says that you must pick the big guy at 12 and the skill guy at 13 (Like Nonu and Conrad) but Australia plays upside down (the big guy at 13, Kuridrani)
Of course the 12 must be the "reseller" or something like that and a more tactical player than the 13 buuut Are there so many differences between the roles?
I don't know, for me is not science rocket like some say.
It is assumed that the 12 is more tactical player, the smartest player in the couple but not always is true
