Hooker, requires upper body strength and leg power.

Are you male or female? Are you fully developped or still a teenager? What exactly are you looking for from rugby?
It's not just a question of "can you throw?" or "can you kick?" I've been playing rugby for over 20 years and I could do neither when I started and can do both very well now. Think more in terms of your prospective physical attributes, your family's build etc. If you have older sibling who are "big" then it might be an idea to go into the front five. At 5'5" hooker is probably your best bet but if you think it's likely that you'll gain another 5 inches or more and be fit, quick off the mark and brave in defense then you should think about openside flanker or scrum half.

...try the front 5; most probably first line. It demands a lot of strength all over the body [upper and lower body strength].
I am 6ft and 165lbs, sounds like i should be a back but i play front 5, second row; so it actually depends on what you can do

Scrum Half

If you are a female, try for the prop position.
If you are a guy, try for the hooker position. If you can't throw a ball, try for scrumhalf.

9 if you can throw, 10 if you can kick

Assuming you are an adult male, hooker.
