Second five-eighths, or sometimes second five-eighth,[1] is a name used in New Zealand to refer the rugby union position commonly known elsewhere as the inside centre or number 12.[2][3][4]
It traditionally described a playmaking type of 12 with good passing and kicking skills as opposed to the strong hard runner and tackler in that position providing less game-management and attacking options. Some second five-eighths such as Sonny Bill Williams and Ma’a Nonu, however, combine aspects of both styles of play.[2][5]
