[QUOTE="Peat, post: 588937, member: 42330"] The only things an openside and blindside HAVE to do is based solely on their duties from a scrum - mainly defensive, but sometimes attacking. Everything else is either convention, or extrapolations of what else someone in that role will be good at. But there are conventions now of what each side does, and French flankers by and large don't fit them. I'd say it's very rare to see France line up with what the rest of the world would regard as two opensides. I'd also disagree with the idea that opensides and blindsides are physically identical. Virtually everywhere the openside is smaller. [/QUOTE]
