Am I good enough to be a flanker or an eighth man?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I'm 16, 5'6, 150 lbs with about 17% body fat (based on possibly unreliable internet calculators) and male. I play rugby in Southeast Asia, specifically in the Philippines. I have a stocky build, with large legs, and a muscular upper body. I hate waiting for the ball in the backline and would rather get it myself at the rucks. I love pick-and-drives as well. Would any of my physical attributes hinder me from any of the responsibilities of a good loose forward? Thanks in advance!I'm 16, 5'6, 150 lbs with about 17% body fat (based on possibly unreliable internet calculators) and male. I play rugby in Southeast Asia, specifically in the Philippines.

I would say 8 man cuz u could do lots of pick and drives even right off the scrum if u want but if u are an adult u wight be too small to be a forward but if your a teen then your a good size I am 5'2 118 pounds and play flank and I'm 15 and play on my schools varcity team
