Best Answer

Normally when you see the back line up behind the forwards when on an attacking ball the line is diagonal which allows for the attack to take place and players are then technically behind the ball carrier. IN an defensive line the backs will line up in a straight line (Flat) This allows them to implement a rush defense where the defending team will run at their opposite number to either intercept, tackle of spoil the pass of the attacking team.

What does it mean when they say that a rugby player is running or standing flat?

"flat" is usually "flat against the line" which refers to backs lining up to make runs to advance beyond the gain line. backs/wings should be running near full speed just behind the player nearest them so if they were to receive a pass, they could accelerate into the pass and get a head start to pass the defensive line. when you're "flat", you're in-line with the passer, keeping you from getting that burst of speed that's essential to break free for a try.
