Mr MKVIII,

A little football famil!

Second row is just that, in both rugby and league.

The 'last' row in league is the 'lock' or the 'lock forward' in rugby he is referred to as the 'number eight' or sometimes as the 'lock' or 'lock forward'

'5/8ths' in league are outside the 'half back' (who feeds the scrum). The similar position in rugby is the 'fly-half' some who played rugby would refer to anybody who played in the backs as 'gutless backs' (a bit nasty I think!)

Sorry guys for not being so serious, just empasising that if you think nothing but aviation you turn into a boring bastard. Sport emphasises teamwork and gives you something to talk about and is also a good icebreaker.

"How about those TAH's ehh"
