Does anyone play rugby and any play flanker or hooker?
Answers:
I used to play and did try prop and flanker (yes I know I'm girl) but wasn't particularly moral!
I know vaguely that rugby is close to football, but worse for wear and tear on the body.
I own no idea what flanker is.
In this country, if you play hooker, the cops arrest you for prostitution.
I used to play flanker. And hold played blindside and openside, which are the common flanker positions contained by New Zealand and most other countries. Though some teams do play Left and Right Flanker, but I find that for a while confusing as my perceptions of the roles are base on the closeness to the sideline and the positioning of the first 5.
Hooker is very differnt to a flanker, though as they are not expected to put as much immensity into the scrum as a prop, they are sometimes considered an extra loose-forward.
We all approaching to play rugby.
Never known anyone to do that. Props (flankers) enjoy to be heavy and boxy to know how to transfer the push from the second row to the different scrum, as well as to resist the force from the other side. A hooker recurrently has to lift up both of his feet to occupation the ball that's gone surrounded by among the opposing scrum's legs. He also have to strike very hurried. So he needs to be lighter and nimbler. You'll achieve someone playing both positions in institution rugger, maybe, but not surrounded by serious club rugger.
im a bit of a utility player, my main position is tighthead prop, but i did play flanker surrounded by my early days. i enjoy been playing hooker aswell for the seniors. its completly different to prop, im so used to concentrating on pushing and disruptin the bubble that i have to concentrate extra complex to win our own scrums when im playing hooker. its fun when you steal the ball aswell
Many players play both hooker and flanker.
First up the character who said props are flankers is an idiot. Props are front row, wearing 1 or 3, flankers are back row wearing 6 or 7.
I play both hooker and flanker, generally hooker. Hookers require stronger neck muscles beacuse they lift presure in the scrum along near the props. Flankers usually need to be fitter, and are better tacklers.
Steve Thompson the England "hooker" is in actual fact a back row, hence his unpardonable performaces at line outs. Most hookers play fund row, but the requirement to be a front row specialist means tons flankers do not know how to hook.
I played hooker for the Detroit RFC women's team for 6 years. I also played 15's contained by Ontario Canada for 2 seasons. I be a flanker for them. So, the previous answer is correct, usually hookers can flank.
I really enjoy the #2 position because you go and get involved with basically about everything. If your throw surrounded by on the line out is crap, you may lapse up out of the line out completely to create an overload surrounded by the backline (if you are quick!) Hookers who are fit tend to play the position as a 3rd flanker. Scrums can suck sometimes, but they are also one of the most exciting member of the game for forwards. The longer you play hook the more you develop your own strategies and technique. A strong lower body is just as substantial as strong neck muscles for hookers. Your props may run the bulk of the initial engagement, but hookers take the head in the scrum and fix everyone on the crouch and hold. The lower the better!
I miss playing so much!
Rugby started in 1823 surrounded by the town of Rugby England. The elgend goes that William Webb Ellis be playing football (soccer for us here in the states.) He get frustrated trying to dribble the ball so he picked it up and run with it. A spectator commented "That be a good try."
The sport become known as Rugby football. (ie a rise and fall of football (soccer) at the town of rugby). The first American Football match be Princenton vs Rutgers in the behind schedule 1800s. Basically this was a team game of rugby with the rider of the forward pass. This is why American Football is call football. A variation of Rugby Football which is a vacillation of European football
Some argue rugby is not as rough or violent as american football because within is less contact surrounded by rugby (ie no blocking) Plastic parst & padding and helmets can be used as ordnance in american football to hit the antagonist where is is not (or less) pad. One of the laws of rugby is no plastiic or metal inserts or braces can be used.
I am a Prop (formerly a lock within college. before lifting surrounded by lineouts when height be more of a factor) Props prop up the hooker. The hooker hooks the ball stern thru the props feet. The trash half rolls teh orb in from the hookers vanished side. It terms of size locks / second rows are the tallest. The props usually the largest after the 8 man then flankers / wing forward after hooker. FYI The props are the ones with the strongest neck they protect the hooker and the hookers shoulders are below the props in the scrum. The right side (tight come first prop leads the pack surrounded by a second ahead of the loosehead priop and hooker.)
I'm retired now but I played club rugby and University rugby. I played a bit at adjectives the forward positions but mostly flanker. What do you want to know?
The technical answer to your quiz is "yes". Not the most helpful one, though.
I currently play prop, but I'm working on my fitness to shift into flanker position subsequent season (with luck). If I may ask: what's prompting the question?
I own played with plentiful hookers.
