[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 774322, member: 56232"] Generally you want speed at 13. Whilst 12 usually involves powering through to distribution to get through the line, 13 is more likely to use speed to get on the outside shoulder and open stuff up for the wingers. Moving a 12 to 13 can have problems if they are too slow, as shown with Barritt in the world cup. Normally pretty solid defending 12, he was poor at 13 because players would more often run round him than through him. Doesn't matter how good you are at tackling if you can't catch the guy. His attacking ability didn't change due to having none to start with. [/QUOTE]
