What is a scrum half, and what do they do?

Mike Schmid (Director of Rugby, Esher RFC) gives expert video advice on: What are forwards?; What are the main jobs of the forwards?; What are backs? and more...

Scrum halves carry a very important role. They link the force to the backs. They've got to do such things as putting the ball in the scrum. Marshalling the forwards and drives in front of them. Organizing the defence and they provide that very crucial link between forwards and backs.
