So i've been trialling for school rugby union and somehow i got put into the A's (out of A B and C). Last year I played C because i am not very strong and fast etc... I am pretty lanky. I am worried that I am a bit out of my depth in terms of skill and ability. I think i fluked the team because we have only been trialled on drills and that. I don't want to embarrass myself or let the team down , so should I ask to be put down a grade?So i've been trialling for school rugby union and somehow i got put into the A's (out of A B and C).

NO WAY!! If you train with the better players you will learn their traits and habbits. You may not get much game time at first but id rather play for the best. If you are out of your depth then move down when they want you to! They must have seen something they like in you.

No play the highest possible you will actually build your skills quicker as you will be against a stronger opposition and if you play B's you will be against half an A team anyway so you might as well be against a full one
