They also need to be agile in making accurate passes, and dynamic and fast in combating the defensive work of opposing flankers when delivering the ball from the base of the scrum or in open play. They also need to have a good kicking game. They provide a link with the forwards and form what is known as the half-back pairing with the No. If you have good hands and enjoy thinking on your feet while analysing the game in detail to make the right decision, then you might make for a good scrum-half.

The fly-half is positioned behind the scrum-half and receives a lot of balls from them.
They are regarded as the team's orchestrator and are relied upon to make the right decision after receiving the ball. Like the scrum-half, they must have a good kicking game. Operating in a more withdrawn position than their fellow half-back, the fly-half has more space and time in which to think.
This allows them to assess the position the opposition players are in and identify the best strategy to adopt. They can be described as pulling the strings. Opposing forwards like nothing better than to go in hard on the fly-half.

But be warned: having a brain is not enough.
You also have to be quick, react fast and be alive to what's around you. The centres occupy the middle of the pitch. There are two of them and they wear the No. Though they occupy the same position , they often complement each other to play both defensive and attacking roles. The first involves bringing their tackling skills to bear in defence and the second getting forward in support of attacks and unsettling opposing defences.
Centres need to be fast, powerful and technically gifted. They must work in tandem with the half-back pairing situated just in front of them, and with the wings just behind them when the ball needs to be spread out wide. If you're powerful, well-built and a good tackler , you can play at inside centre for your team. If you are quicker and a touch less powerful but still a good tackler, then put yourself forward as your team's outside centre.
