I try to vary it as well, and stand where I can get the best view, depending on the situation.
In my earlier career, before I improved my fitness, I would sometimes give myself a little bit of a headstart, and stand more towards the back, so I was closer to the next breakdown when the ball went wide.
Obviously I would never consider that now.
Again, I have some assessors telling me to be at the back more, some preferring me to be at the front.
I prefer position 2 on the whole, but will stand at 1 regularly to get a good view of the front, especially if there are adverse weather conditions, and the ball is only going to the front jumpers, or if we are inside the 22, and a move up the front is likely.
