Best Answer

The best way to learn is to join a Rugby club. There are coaches there that will assess your skills and physical build including speed and agility. Then they can help you gain skills for a position suited to you. You can also watch games and learn how and what the backs do - This for many is the first education they have in the sport.

You will need the speed and experience to move out. Many good backs have been training or have played in the forwards if only in heavy training sessions - this improved the "big hit" effect when running a straight line at the opponent. Speak to your coach and discuss it

A back is one of the seven players that stands outside of the scrum in a rugby game and do most of the passing and running with the ball.
