There are 15 players per team playing on the field at any one time.

However, professional Rugby teams typically consist of 22 players. This includes 15 named starters with 7 substitutes. In addition to these 22 there will be up to 10 additional players who are continuously trying to gain a spot on the starting lineup. Professional and representative teams also have academies, where youth players develop in the hope of playing for their pro or rep side.

In the starting fifteen there are 7 backs and 8 forwards.

15: Full Back

14: Right Wing 11: Left Wing

13: Outside Centre (centre)

12: Inside Centre (second five eighth)

10: Fly Half (first five eighth)

9: Scrum Half (half back)

8: Number 8

7: Openside Flanker 5: Number 5 Lock 4: number 4 lock 6: Blindside Flanker

3: Tighthead Prop 2: Hooker 1: Loose head Prop
