-Fast runner -More Stamina Tho tho -Not fat or skinny. -Beginner as well. What position would you suggest?

Depends on your age. If you are a university student or an adult, then probably you are looking at wing or perhaps scrum-half. If you are 14, your size would probably allow you to play anywhere in the backs or at hooker, and maybe even as a flanker. At that age, your stature and weight are not strong guides to what you will be for size and strength as an adult. Consider your parents and older siblings (if any) as potential guides to how you may grow. Meanwhile, don't worry too much about what your position may be. I'd imagine that your coach is expecting new players, and he will have some "tests" planned - starting with your running, both at distance and in sprints, and then some basic ball handling just to see who has what kinds of hands and eye-hand coordination (and get you familiar with the rugby ball and how to handle it). He'll sort you out for a start, and it would be well to take that as a challenge and show him how quickly you can learn that position. Many of us old, worn-out hulks played a variety of positions over our playing careers, and each has its charms. Learning some of the fundamentals of the game is the main thing initially - most of what you learn will be very transferable if/when you try other positions after the first year. Good luck, and have fun. Mark L.
