flanker
has glosseng: A flanker is a position in the sport of rugby union. Flankers play in the forwards, and are generally classified as either blindside, or openside flankers; numbers six and seven respectively. The name comes from their position in a scrum where they flank each set of forwards. The set responsibilities of flankers are fewer than all other forwards in a rugby team, but generally consists of retaining and gaining possession in the various phases of play in a match—most commonly in rucks and mauls. Flankers also assist in pushing in a scrum, but are expected to detach from the scrum as early as possible in order to get to play before the opposition's forwards. Flankers also participate in line-outs, either being lifted to contest or win possession, or to lift other players. Rugby flankers are expected to make most of the tackles. When a team wins the scrum the flanker is expected to support their players by running behind and rucking over for their team to keep possession.

has glossspa: En cada equipo de rugby hay dos posiciones denominadas flanker. Los flankers forman parte de la tercera línea, junto al número 8 en las formaciones de melé y son los jugadores que suelen portar los dorsales 6 (flanker cerrado) y 7 (flanker abierto). Esto es el flanker cerrado (normalmente el 6 menos en sudafrica que es el 7) suele ser más corpulento y alto que su compañero el abierto, por esas cualidades suele ser el quien, junto con los segundas líneas, salta en los saques de lateral. Los flanker cerrados tiene como objetivo placar mucho y obstaculizar los rucks del equipo contrario más conocido como "matar el balón" así obligando a hacer más lento el balón de ataque del equipo contrario). El flanker abierto (el 7 menos en sudafrica que es el 6) suelen ser más pequeños y compactos. La razón de este reducido tamaño es su deber como "ball stealer" o robador de balones.
