    Ok some people will want to start with backs, I like to go 1-15 so thats how I'll do it here.

    Props

    Skills

    • Strength
    • Stamina
    • Technique
    • Discipline
    Height should be about even between the two props.
    Weight: The heaviest guy you can find!

    Hooker

    A vital position, key to set pieces. Often worth spending a bit of money on this position

    • Handling
    • Technique
    • Strength
    • Stamina
    • Discipline
    With a bit of weight he can be like a third prop
    Height: Short preferably

    2nd row


    • Jumping
    • Handling
    • Height
    • Strength
    Weight can be handy
    Height Vital


    Wing Forward


    Vital position especially 7 Worth an Investment
    • Discipline (not as much with 7)
    • Defence
    • Strength
    • Stamina
    • handling (no7)
    • Speed (no7)
    • Attack (no7)

    Weight and height not too important but you still don't want some 85kg wing in there


    No 8
    Pretty much every skill but kicking and jumping, often a teams best player
    The battering Ram
    Try and pick someone who could almost play any position.

    Scrum Half

    • Handling
    • Kicking
    • Attack
    • Speed
    • Agility
    Handling vital
    With a pit of speed and agility you will see him nip in for a try every now and again.
    Defence helps if you have a drift defence

    Out Half

    • Handling
    • Kicking
    • Attack
    • Speed
    • Agility
    • Defence
    Hes your playmaker so a bit of leadership and experience can help

    Centers
    • Handling (EXTRA WITH 12)
    • Attack
    • Defence
    • Speed
    • Agility

    You want your 12 to be a solid player with handling and defence and more weight
    And imagine BOD with 13 someone with a bit of flare and magic

    Wings

    • Speed
    • Attack
    • Agility
    • Handling
    • defence
    Speed and Agility so if he does get a bit of space he will use it

    Full Back


    • Defence
    • Speed
    • Kicking
    • Handling
    • Attack
    • Agility
    A key position, worth an investment. With a bit of flare he'll be scoring trys left, right and center


    Subs

    My opinion

    16. Prop
    17. Hooker
    18. Second row
    19. Back row
    20. Scrum half/10
    21. 10/center
    22. Back three (wing + Full back)









    Overall when picking your squad just think of real life and what you would base it on in real life

    I hope this helps . . .
