The scrum midfielder in rugby wears the number 9 jersey, his role requires him to manage the game especially in attack as well as being the player assigned to pass the oval ball to the opening half (number 10) but also to the forwards near the meeting point. Constantly inserted in the game, the median is the hinge that connects the fray to the three-quarters, all decisions and maneuvers pass through him and he is always the player able to speed up or slow down the game.
From the static phase into attack, the median is positioned on the introduction side of the oval (scrum) and behind the line-up of the lineup of the lineup (touche).
Usually minute compared to the rest of the team but with a wide vision of the game, the scrum half is also the fastest in tight spaces and the most skilled in long and short passes. In recent years, the role of scrum midfielder requires a certain skill even in the foot game. On the other hand, the skills of leader and communicator with teammates, essential in the game of rugby, remain unchanged.
We often hear that rugby is a sport suitable for everyone and to enhance this concept, the image goes to a “small” scrum midfielder next to a big and big scrum player.
