"Forward"

[edit]

Does anybody know which specific forward position he played? There are eight forwards on a side, such as Prop, Hooker, Second-rowmen (or Locks), etc. It would be interesting to know which position he played, as they each have a distinctive character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.170.198.63 (talk) 19:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Back in the Victorian period, up until the 1910s, there were no real specialised positions in the forward positions in rugby union. Scrummagers would get stuck in at any location, who ever got there first. George Travers (rugby player) was one of Wales' first specialised forwards, but before him, not much to differentiate. In the 1890's there was no real difference in half-backs either. Hope that helps. FruitMonkey (talk) 19:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
