I am average height (slightly below for a forward) stocky and aggressive. I was a second row but everyone I compete against is head and shoulders above me, leaving me at a disadvantage there. I am aggressive, defensive and an active rooker. I am slow as opposed to most people but average for a forward( if that makes sense). I need advice on where in the pack to go as my current position, second row, means I have to compete against much bigger guys to even get on a team,but coaches will always go for heavies there. I would really appreciate if anyone (who knows their rugby) would leave a suggestion.I am average height (slightly below for a forward) stocky and aggressive.

If you have a strong back definitley a prop, most people don't want to play there so you shoud get in to teams more easily then other positions. You could also be a hooker although you will need to learn how to do lineout throws. Your aggresion and defensive nature will help as a prop around the break down as you will be able to take guys out around the ruck. Hope this advice was helpful good luck.
