JTRiggs09: What rugby position would be best for me?
What rugby position would be best for me? I’m about 5’9 to 5’10 and weigh about 185 lbs (84 kg). I can run pretty fast in short bursts, but I have asthma which inhibits my running abilities. I’m also very strong.

Your build suggests that you ought to be a back, however I think the asthma limits your choices. I don’t mean that you shouldn’t be a back, you just need to stay away from a few spots – wings run an awful lot, only the fullback runs more. You should probably stay away from those two. Actually, you might consider playing scrumhalf or even the number eight. Number eight, which is actually a forward, can be a tough spot because it requires a decent amount of tactical knowledge. It seems as though you might be a bit new to rugby, so I think scrumhalf would be the best fit for you. You may also wish to consider one of the centre spots if your asthma is well controlled.
