If you love making the breaks and leaving the defense in your wake, the outside centre is perfect for you.
If you are quick and powerful, there's no better place to be than in the middle of the pitch.
They often hit the holes in the opposition's defense and make valuable ground, often offloading to the wingers after drawing the last line of defense.
But it's not all about making attacking bursts - they're also the players dishing out the tackles in defense along with the forwards.
Accurate handling and passing skills are a must for any centre, along with a good kicking game.
Expect plenty of running as a centre.
