Scotland rugby positions explained for beginners

In rugby, Scotland's team has 15 players divided into forwards (props, hooker, locks, flankers, number 8) who contest for the ball, and backs (scrum-half, fly-half, centres, wingers, fullback) who handle passing and attacking play. The forwards pack down in the scrum and lineout, while backs create attacking movements with speed and skill. Each position has specific responsibilities based on their role in set pieces and open play.
