Forse hanno le misure anglosassoni, noi abbiamo i tre-quarti, loro i 
cinque-ottavi... :-)))))))
Ti copio e incollo da un sito neozelandese dalla pagina "Rugby Basis":
Team positions are:
Front Row
1. Loosehead prop - packs down in scrums and supports the hooker. Also 
supports the jumpers in a lineout.
2. Hooker - packs down in the middle of the scrum, hooking the ball 
with their feet. They also throw the ball in when there is a lineout.
3. Tighthead prop - packs down in scrums and supports the hooker. Also 
supports the jumpers in a lineout.
Middle Row
4. Lock - often the team's tallest players, the two locks jump in a 
lineout to catch the ball. In a scrum, the locks pack down and provide 
a powerful support core in the second row.
5. Lock - same as position 4.
Loose Forwards
6. Blindside Flanker - placed at the side of the scrum near the 
sideline, providing defence for the team and lifting or jumping in a 
lineout.
7. Openside Flanker - placed at the side of the scrum furthest from the 
sideline, defending and heading straight for the ball when there is an 
opportunity.
8. Number 8 - placed at the back of the scrum, responsible for moving 
the ball to the halfback if the opportunity arises.
Inside Backs
9. Halfback - the connector between the forwards and the backs, placed 
behind the scrum to gain possession of the ball and keep it moving. In 
a lineout, they will catch the ball knocked down by the jumpers.
10. First 5/8 - the decision-maker and goal kicker, who makes the call 
to kick the ball, pass the ball to the outside backs, or run with the 
ball.
Midfield Backs
12. Second 5/8 - part of the backline formation, along with the first 
5/8, often responsible for setting up an attack. Must be a good 
tackler.
13. Centre - placed outside the second 5/8, providing time and room for 
the winger on their outside.
Outside Backs
11. Wing - a fast runner who often scores tries and runs with the ball 
in the space created by the forwards and other backs.
14. Wing - same as 11.
15. Fullback - a crucial defence and attack player, positioned at the 
back of the team.

New Zealand Terms
In New Zealand the fly half is referred to as the first five-eighth (or 
more often, just "1st 5"), implying a slightly deeper position than 
halfback (the term halfback can cause confusion since some countries use 
it to refer solely to the scrum half, while other countries apply it to 
both the scrum half and the fly half). The inside centre is called the 
second five-eighth (or "2nd 5") implying a more forward position than a 
three quarter back and the outside centre as simply "Centre".
