It depends on your age. If you are still playing junior rugby then you could play hooker, half back, or winger. Though hooker you would not be able to exploit that speed which you have there for possibly not hooker. I would recommend playing Half-Back and/or winger as they are the best suited positions for someone of your stature. In todays game, Centers are starting to become very big, and you will rarely see small centers out there. And fullbacks are always better taller when it comes to the high ball. Hope this helps!

Can you tackle? Can you pass? What's your sidestep like? A list of numbers tells me nothing, except you can run for the water quickly and bring a lot of it back.

I'd say winger or maybe even an outside center with speed like that

Halfback or Second Five
