Before I choose a lineup of racing drivers I should probably explain rugby in the most basic way I can.
There are 23 players in a team. 15 starting players and a bench of eight. For this team we are going with a 5-3 split, because they would not survive a 7-1 split. This refers to the substitute players for the front players and the back players. Why specific subs? This is because players have to train to be part of the scrum and their different positions. Also, the fronts tend to be bigger and the backs tend to be smaller.
If examples are given, they would most often be South African, because my heart is green and gold💛💚 also this is a very long post. Feel free to use my inbox for questions ☀️
The forwards
1 Loose-head prop
Front row of scrum. A very physical position where they have to physically drive back the opposition. Also lifts players during a lineout.
2 Hooker
Front row of scrum. Determines the timing of the scrum. Uses his feet to kick the ball backwards and out of the scrum. Throws the ball in at lineouts.
3 Tight-head prop
Front row of scrum. A very physical position where they have to physically drive back the opposition. Also lifts players during a lineout.
4 Lock (second row)
Supports the front row of the scrum. Target men during the lineout. Also tend to be aggressive. An amazing example of this position is Eben Etzebeth.
5 Lock (second row)
Supports the front row of the scrum. Target men during the lineout. Also tend to be aggressive.
6 Blindside Flanker
Tends to be bigger than an open side flanker. At the blindside of the scrum (closer to the touchline than the open pitch). You usually find these guys in the center of chaos. They make big tackles and big carries.
7 Open side Flanker
Smaller and faster flanker. They play at the far side of the touchline, towards the center of the field. Very important during open play, they also make some tackles and carries.
8 Eightman
Only players allowed to pick up the ball in the scrum. Forms the back row along with 6 and 7. Usually a good runner to make up some distance after a scrum.
The backs
9 Scrum-half
The link between the forwards and the backs. Controls the ball during a scrum, ruck or maul, by inserting the ball (scrum) or extracting (ruck or maul) it. Must be quick and decisive. Usually on the smaller side (good example of this is Faf de Klerk).
10 Flyhalf
Most influential player. Responsible for kicking conversions and other penalties. This player can make or break a team. Also in charge of the back line and coordinates offences. Does box kicks and kicks towards the other team's quarters for a lineout. If you want to see a perfect box kick in action, check out Manie Libbok for South Africa against Scotland.
11 Left Wing
Plays on the wide side of the field. Last line of defence. Also very important in offence. These guys tend to run down the side of the field for tries. Part of the backline.
12 inside centre
Stands close to the fly-half. Strong runners. They run vertical lines. They find gaps in the opponent's defences and draw them away from the backline. Must be good at tackling for a quick defence.
13 outside centre
Faster than the inside centre. Must be ready to make a break for the line. They run vertical lines. They find gaps in the opponent's defences and draw them away from the backline. Must be good at tackling for a quick defence.
14 Right wing
Plays on the wide side of the field. Last line of defence. Also very important in offence. These guys tend to run down the side of the field for tries. Part of the backline.
15 Full back
Receives deep kicks from the opposition. This position is the closest possible to that of a sweeper. Must be comfortable in the sky to catch high balls and to intercept. A tough position for a very athletic player. An example of this is Cheslin Kolbe.
Very basic overview
Scrums
A video (1)(2) explaining better than I ever could.
Lineouts
Another video.
Mauls and rucks
Videos to make the post shorter.
How to score points
Points are scored in a few ways. A Try, which is 7 points. This is when players put the ball down behind the goal posts.
A conversion, which is 2 points. This happens after a try and the position is determined by where the ball is put down. The kick is taken in line of the position the try is scored from the dashed line.
A Penalty Kick, which is 3 points. Awarded when another team infringed on rules. Called a free kick for small offences. If the penalty is awarded inside the range of the posts, a kick is usually taken.
A drop-goal, which is 3 points. When a player kicks the ball over the goal posts during play.
#rugby can be complicated#but it is fun to watch#it is also very dynamic which means that all the players must be good defensively and offensively#i did not really discuss the rules#because it's not too important for selecting a team#also i would love talking about rugby more (specifically the springboks)#it's okaybif you don't know what a ruck is nobody does these days

| Eightman, second visit ✌️
Finally got the chance to try the tomato ramen, it supposed to be spicy tomato but I chose the regular (almost not spicy at all) coz I have weak stomach, shame on me. I thought the soup would be sour and refreshing, but its a little bit bland. Perhaps adding white vinegar would be nice to boost the sourness and a pinch of MSG for umami, hehe. Not bad but not really my favorite. Prefer the truffle ramen, I guess its still the best one and a must-try menu in there.
The other menu were quite so-so. Sweet and sour pork was quite nice but to compare it with pork nanban, I would prefer the latest. The raw tuna probably was the least fave for this visit, I wouldnt recommend this one coz it didnt look as appetizing as I expected. Then there’s also beef butter men which my bf ordered, nothing special to my liking, the original pork ramen was better.

An article from Newtype magazine talking about robot anime from the 1960′s. The Astro and Uran in the top right were drawn by Haruhiko Mikimoto, a character designer for anime such as Macross and Gunbuster. (1986)
