Scotland rugby positions explained

Scotland rugby positions follow standard rugby union rules: forwards (props, hooker, locks, flankers, number 8) provide set-piece strength and physicality, while backs (scrum-half, fly-half, centers, wingers, full-back) handle passing and attacking moves. The forwards compete for the ball in scrums and lineouts, while backs execute attacking plays and defensive coverage. Each position requires specific skills matching their role in team tactics.
