What position did you play?

I spent pretty all my career as a hooker. I was really good actually apart from lacking any size, was really really slow, had no ball skills, was blind without my glasses and was a coward in contact. As you could imagine I hung up my boots very early !

These qualities pretty much sum up Scotland Hooker Fraser Brown to be fair.

Fraser-Tech and Kaikorai junior rugby - I was a slow outside back with flashes of mediocrity. Wanted to play halfback at Fraser-Tech, having perfected the reverse pass at home but Kevin Greene's son was playing 9 (and was pretty good anyway). Battled away when we moved to Dunedin and finally scored a try when "dashing" 40m against the now-defunct Peninsula club (at least I think they're defunct).
Didn't play at high school due to back issues and returned to the field for university social rugby, playing a wide range of positions - all of them poorly, and most of them sans tackling. Scored a couple of tries by being on the end of the line, and managed to pot a left-footed droppie (I'm right footed) at one stage which has to be the highlight of a very average career.

That's actually quite impressive. I'm assuming that you were way out on the right wing at about 50m?
Right in front at 20 is also pretty good. -

Right in front at 20 is also pretty good.I was abused by my team mates because we were down by 30 at the time. Then again, those were the only points we scored.
It was on the 22, right in front. I went to kick it with my right foot, but a guy shaped to charge, so I stepped, and went on the left. It wobbled over like a partially lame duck, but I'll take it...
