The openside refers to the side of the scrum or ruck where there is more space between the forwards. Openside flankers are typically assigned to this side, tasked with winning turnovers, disrupting the opposition’s play, and providing quick support to ball carriers. Understanding the dynamics of the openside helps in shaping defensive and attacking strategies.
