I've got the idea of all the player positions in Rugby
. Is there a position called Three Quarters
, if I'm not mistaken?. Some used to mention it by that way, but I've got no idea what it really mean?
Any advice would be appreciated.

"There are four threequarters: two wingers and two centres. Right wing (2), right centre (3), left centre (4) and left wing (5). Typically these players work in pairs, with one winger and one centre occupying each side of the field."

Essentially if you are already familiar with the centre and wing position you also know what threequarters means because it is just a combination of those positions
