. "Stand-off half or Five-eighth is one of the positions in a rugby league football team. Wearing jersey number 6, this player is one of the two \"half backs\", in a team's back line, partnering the scrum half (Number 7). Also known as the pivot or second receiver, in a traditional attacking back-line play the five-eighth would receive the ball from his half back partner, who is the \"first-receiver\" of the ball from the \"dummy-half\" or hooker following a tackle."@en . .
