====Three-quarters==== There are four three quarter positions: two [[Rugby union positions#Centre|centres]] (inside and outside) and two [[Rugby union positions#Wing|wings]] (left and right). In the Southern Hemisphere, the inside centre is commonly referred to as the second five-eighth, while the outside centre is simply known as the centre. The centres will attempt to tackle attacking players; whilst in attack, they should employ speed and strength to breach opposition defences.<ref name="IRB BGRU 7"/> The wings are generally positioned on the outside of the backline. Their primary function is to finish off moves and score tries.<ref>{{Harvnb|Brown|Guthrie|Growden|2010}}</ref> Wings are usually the fastest players in the team and are elusive runners who use their speed to avoid tackles.<ref>{{cite news|title=Scottish rugby welcomes back Lomu|date=7 January 2006|first=David|last=Ferguson|url=http://sport.scotsman.com/superteams/Scottish-rugby-welcomes-back-Lomu.2740238.jp|newspaper=The Scotsman|access-date=1 September 2011|archive-date=16 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130616020648/http://www.scotsman.com/sport/rugby/scottish-rugby-welcomes-back-lomu-1-687348|url-status=live}}</ref>
