scrumhalf

Scrum's ball retriever

A scrumhalf is a rugby position—the player who retrieves the ball from scrums and rucks and distributes it to teammates.

The scrumhalf serves as the link between forwards and backs, typically small and quick with sharp passing skills: The scrumhalf fired the ball out to the fly-half.
