It's modeled on war. The forwards are the infantry, the backs are the cavalry. So yeah, it can get quite turgid when it's all tied up amongst the forwards.
It's worse in the UK and Ireland than it is in the southern hemisphere (Aus, NZ, SA, Argentina), because we play a forward-oriented game with very little creative flair. Which has been found out in the current world cup.
