Forwards

The forwards in rugby are the biggest in the game and generally have the most brute force.  There are eight of them and they are numbered one through eight.  The props are number one and number three, and they are the main support in the scrum along with the locks.  The hooker is in the middle of the front row and he is number two.  Locked onto the legs of the props are the flankers.  They are big guys who are good at tackling.  The final man is the eightman who is in the very back of the pack.  He is basically a hybrid player who is good at a lot of things.
