Norfolk Dan 308 Posted October 10, 2022 What is a half back? It is 2 quarter backs In one? If so, McLean!? Fly half who kicks to touch....that's McLean ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulfotto 644 Posted October 10, 2022 Is there a shout for 3-5-2 putting Gibson in as a left hand side centre back. McLean becomes a left wing back. Gibbs, Nunez and Sara in the midfield with Josh and Teemu up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. If anybody is actually interested in how and why formations and numbering conventions have evolved over time I can thoroughly recommend 'Inverting the Pyramid' by Jonathan Wilson. Not quite as dry as it sounds, but probably not one for the all formations are the same brigade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 11, 2022 In Rugby, they have backs who are also threequarters but one is a first five eighth and another is a second five eighth. But of course some forwards are back row forwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
