0 in rugby, one of two attacking players who hold onto the sides of a scrum (= a group of attacking players from each team who come together with their heads down and arms joined, and push against each other) -- （橄榄球运动的）边锋
The New Zealand-born flanker was declared fit late on Monday.
The replacement flanker scored Gloucester's second try.
He is a quarterback turned flanker.
As a flanker, he will frequently be put in motion and will also line up in the slot.
There was no significant difference between the noflanker and congruent flanker conditions.
In healthy controls, contrast threshold is lower in the collinear condition than in the orthogonal condition, because collinear flankers facilitate target detection.
Measurements with collinear and orthogonal flankers were performed in separate blocks, which were counterbalanced across the participants.
We found that flankers interfered with target selection only when targets and flankers differed on the goal-relevant dimension.
