Centre (rugby Union)
In the game of rugby union, there are 15 players on each team, comprising eight forwards (wearing jerseys numbered 1–8) and seven backs (numbered 9–15).

The flankers and number eight are expected to be the first players to arrive at a breakdown and play an important role in se ...
