AboutNick Vujnovich Expertise I can answer most questions in detail but I am best used for "Forward" positions especially the "tight 5" and the scrum. I am a front row guy myself. I have good knowledge of game strategy and tactics. I cannot give detailed help with kicking myself but I can suggest general training applications and point you towards good resources. I am a New Zealander living in Southern California, USA.
With regard to fitness or weight training: please understand that you are best going to a gym and getting first hand consultation from a qualified trainer. The risk of injury is too great for me to simply give you a program without being able to analyze your fitness or capabilities in person.
I really suggest going through my previously answered questions as well. The most common repeat questions refer to tackling.
Experience I have played rugby from the age of 5 (I am 33 now) I have played "Premier" rugby in New Zealand, London, California, Colorado. I have coached youth, Mens and Womens rugby.

Answer Hi Rebecca
I wish it was as easy as that. To see a person's measurements and know what position they would actually be good at.
If you are already in a team then you must be playing a position already?
Here is the thing: your are 14 so you still have growing to do and learning to do. The position a player is in when they reach 17, 20 or 25 is usually very different from the one they had at 14.
There are professional rugby players who have changed positions 2 or 3 times in their career.
The key is to have fun, learn the position you are in completely and if you get the desire to play another position go from there.
Talk with your coach and discuss your current position and ask about having a run at position that interests you.
Your couch will have seen you play and will have a better idea of your best position.
