Second row... What to do?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I'm 16, 6 foot 3 180 lbs, not very bulky guy. My coach has put me at second row because I'm so tall. I;m kinda worried to start games because my legs aren't that strong, and im supposed to be able to push alot in the scrums... what should I do?

Just do your best mate - no-one can ask any more of you than that. Your coach won't be expecting miracles from you so early on, but your size and ability will improve over time. Hit as many rucks as you can, make as many tackles as you can, and work with your hooker and forward pack to develop your line out. A week is long enough to develop the technical aspect, but not long enough for the physical side. Good luck, and as I say, do your best.
