When I played there I wasn't the biggest (I'm now a wing) but size doesn't matter so much if you rush up in people's faces and knock them over. So, a good 6 puts in a lot of tackles.Otherwise, it's called 'blindside flanker' for a reason. You're often on the 'blind' side of the ref, which means you can frequently get away with little infringements, especially on offensive scrums if your backs go blind, you can really open up space just by slyly holding back their 6 from joining the defence. Basically, it's easier to cheat and get away with it.Otherwise, do standard flanker stuff like ballcarrying, support other runners, and scrap for turnovers.</blockquote>
