What role does the five eight play in the defensive?

What role does the five eight play in the defensive line and how can they best postition themselves during this time?

Donna

They can lead the defence or one of the centres can perform this role. The five eight needs to ensure they make their tackles and communicate with their back row so if using drift defense each knows who is tackling who.

We have some good defensive drills in our drills section.

I hope this helps you
