The scrum-half, also known as the half-back, is a crucial position in rugby attack responsible for distributing the ball from set piece plays and breakdowns, orchestrating attacking moves, and providing quick and accurate service to teammates. Positioned behind the forwards, the scrum-half acts as the link between the forwards and backs, facilitating ball movement, organizing attacking patterns, and exploiting defensive weaknesses to create scoring opportunities. The scrum-half’s role requires quick decision-making, sharp passing skills, vision, and the ability to read the game to effectively manage the tempo and flow of the team’s attack during a rugby match.
