Rugby-Currently play hooker What other position would suit me?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I've played rugby for about a month now its a great game. BTW im 15 years old. I played for my school and now our season is over. I played as a hooker cause im on the short side (5'6) and I have a pretty stocky build. On the other hand I love running with the ball and I haven't been able to do that as much as a hooker. I'm pretty fast, and I love to side step and stiff arm people off of me. I'm told I can make good tackles but maybe im doing something wrong I tend to avoid tackles because i always get kneed in the faceI've played rugby for about a month now its a great game.

I was going to say openside flanker, until you mentioned the tackling, as with your speed, you could make it to the breakdown quickly, as a hooker at the moment, you should be capable of doing the hard yards in the rucks, and you height would be an advantage there. Otherwise, possibly scrum half, with your height and speed, if your passes are good on both sides and you are able to read the game well, this may be the position for you. Also, you will be able to make sniping runs from the base of the ruck often (take a look at Genia). Also remember that at 15, your height might change dramatically. You never know, in a few years time you may have broken 6 foot!

You could also try stripper, prostitute, or ho, depending on what suits you.

Prop,

Great.9 Why not try second row. You have a stocky build .
