The three most important forward positions in the team are full back and fly half. These players are the last line of defence. They need to be able to kick and return kicks well and have the speed and power to stop their opponents. They should also be good tacklers. They should also have the speed and agility to attack offensive possession. These skills are often applied in "set pieces" contests.
The inside central is usually the fastest player in the field. He also plays a vital role in attacking the side. They can run straight lines across the field, but they can also pass or kick. Additionally, they are able to tackle. It is important for them to be able to see gaps in the opponent's defense. They also need to have great passing skills to help their team move forward.
