    • 2015, Ann Waterhouse, Rugby Made Simple, Meyer & Meyer Verlag, ISBN 978-1-78255-063-1, page 23:
      The position of the blindside flanker depends on the proximity of a touch line, so if the scrum takes place close to the left-hand touch line, the blindside flanker will be closest to that touch line.
