In rugby union, the flyhalf is a key position, typically wearing the number 10 jersey. This player is crucial in both offensive and defensive plays. Positioned between the Scrum Half and the Centres, the flyhalf receives the ball from the scrum half and is responsible for directing the team’s attack. They make decisions on whether to pass, kick, or run with the ball, and are often involved in setting up plays and creating scoring opportunities.
In New Zealand, the flyhalf is known as the first five-eighth.
