Why the positions sheet is a scrum

Rugby positions only make sense at a set piece. In open play everyone runs, passes and tackles; it is the scrum that shows why a prop is a prop and why the 9 stands where the 10 can see him. So each positions sheet is drawn at a scrum on the team’s own 40, attacking to the right, with the open side on the near touchline — the formation a coach draws on the whiteboard on the first night of the season.

The forwards in the scrum carry their numbers only, because eight labels do not fit in a space two metres wide; the builder prints a name under a forward as soon as you type one.

Is there a rugby positions diagram with names?
Three of them — union, league and sevens — each showing one team in a scrum formation with the jersey numbers in the markers and a legend naming every position. Build Custom goes further: type your players' names and they print under the numbers, untick anyone who is not playing, and add the club crest. It is the quickest way to make a team sheet a new player can actually read.
Why are the numbers different in union and league?
Union numbers the forwards first: 1 loosehead prop, 2 hooker, 3 tighthead prop, 4 and 5 locks, 6 and 7 flankers, 8 number 8, then the backs 9 to 15 out to the fullback. League counts the other way — 1 is the fullback, 2 to 5 the wings and centres, 6 the five-eighth, 7 the halfback, and 8 to 13 the forwards, ending with the lock. Same shape on the field, opposite numbering, which is why the two positions sheets are drawn separately.
Which sheet do I use for lineout and scrum moves?
The half pitch. One end at twice the scale gives room to draw a lineout between the 5 m and 15 m dash lines, a scrum on the 22, or a back-line move off either, and the goal at the top keeps the direction of attack obvious. For a whole session plan use the four-per-page drill cards and put one drill on each.
Is there a diagram of the rugby field lines with names?
Yes — the labeled pitch names every line and area: dead-ball lines, goal lines, the 5-metre lines, the 22s, the 10-metre lines, halfway, the touchlines and touch-in-goal lines, both in-goals, and the 5 m and 15 m dash lines, with three notes on what they are for. It pairs with the rules page, which uses the same diagram to explain the 22 and the 50:22.
Do the blanks show a union pitch or a league field?
Both are here. The union sheets show the World Rugby pitch, which sevens also uses. The league sheet is drawn to the RFL / NRL laws — 68 m wide, a numbered line every ten metres, broken lines 10 m and 20 m in from touch — because a coach drawing a six-tackle set needs the numbers on the page.
Can I add my club's crest?
Yes. Build Custom takes a PNG, JPG or SVG, places the crest top-right or bottom-left of the page and lets you size it. Add a team name and a subtitle — opponent and date — across the top, choose a line colour, and print.
Are the diagrams to scale?
Yes. The union pitch is drawn from World Rugby Law 1 — 100 × 70 m with 10 m in-goals, the 22s, dashed 10-metre and 5-metre lines, dash lines at 5 m and 15 m and posts 5.6 m apart — and the league field from the RFL / NRL laws at 100 × 68 m with 8 m in-goals and posts 5.5 m apart. The measured versions are on the dimensions page.
