rather than derail another thread (v liverpool ) might as well do it here . it started with talks about quarterbacks ,, which is a nonsense analogy to our game . so thought about positions in Rugby . they have full backs (just one ) then wingers but then it gets interesting .. they have Three Quarters (two of them ) but some aussies call one of them a seven eighth,, then the playmaker he is called a Stand off in Rugby league and wears number 6 but a fly half in Union wearing number 10 ... the others are boring forwards except for Rooneys favourite who wears 9 in Rugby league and is called a Hooker ,,, next post will deal with fielding positions in cricket
