If he's the next man out, positionally speaking, then he is a fly-half. I think this position is named because of, what I refer to as, the windshield effect. Once the fly-half gets the ball from the scrum-half, he has anywhere from .5 - 2 seconds to get rid of the ball, or he gets squashed like a fly on a windshield.
If he's further down the line, then he's an end. If he plays the safety position, then I believe that's called the fullback position (unless I confused that with soccer.) Regardless, scrum action starts with 2 hookers (sounds like a Springer pay per view event) battling for the ball, and they try to spread it around to the rest of the guys on the team. Undoubtedly, a very manly sport.
