Hoʻohana ʻia nā mīkina lima like ʻole no nā kūlana pāʻani like ʻole.

ʻO ka maʻamau, loaʻa nā mīkina lima rugby i ʻekolu mau ʻano: nā mīkina lima loaʻa no nā mea loaʻa ākea, nā mīkina lima OL/DL no nā kāne nui ma ke alo, a me nā mīkina lima RB/LB no nā linebackers a me nā mea holo hope.

Mea Loaʻa: E like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, ua hana ʻia ia no ka hopu ʻana i ka pōpō. Pono ʻoe e loaʻa iā ia inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻokele i ke "kilokilo" o ka hopu ʻana me ka lima hoʻokahi. ʻO ka mea o nā mīkina lima mea loaʻa ka māmā loa o nā mīkina lima āpau, akā ma ke kumukūʻai o ka pale ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo ka mea loaʻa (WR) pono e hōʻoia i ka paʻa ʻana o nā lima me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mea hoʻopili kūikawā me ka pipili ikaika ma ka pālima. ʻAʻohe mea hoʻopaʻa ma ke kua o ka lima.

ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka pipili e kōkua i ka ʻaoʻao pale a me kā lākou mau pale hope hoʻokahi-ma-hoʻokahi (DBs) e mālama pono i ka pōpō i loko o ka ʻeke i nā interceptions a hoʻihoʻi koke iā ia, no laila ke hoʻolaha nei lākou i nā mea loaʻa ākea ma waho aʻe o lākou. Pono nā pale hope e noʻonoʻo i ka nui o ka hāʻule ʻana i ka wā e alualu ai a me ka hakakā ʻana me nā mea loaʻa, no laila e koho lākou i nā mīkina lima me ka pale lima hou e pale aku i nā ʻeha pulima ma ka honua.

ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻopā ʻana o nā kāne nui o nā linemen i ka pōpō a ua komo lākou i nā hakakā lima hou aʻe (paʻi, hopu, paʻa), a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hehi ʻia e ka poʻe nānā ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana. ʻO ka likelika o ka ʻeha lima ka mea nui loa, e ʻōlelo ʻia paha. Pono nā mīkina lima mua e hoʻoikaika i ka pale ʻana i ka cushion ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mea mānoanoa loa, e hoʻopaʻa ana i nā manamana lima a me ke kua o ka lima, a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka pale lima paʻa loa. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa nā mākau hopu pōpō.

E loaʻa i ka mea holo hope (RB) ka pōpō i ka wā o ka pāʻani, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ko lākou holo wikiwiki ʻana i ka pōpō a pale i nā ʻano tackle like ʻole. Pono nā mīkina lima holo hope i kahi uluna ma ke kua o ka lima e kū ai i nā kuʻi ikaika, a pono i ka laholio ma ka poho lima ke kūpaʻa i ka paheʻe e hōʻoia i kahi hiki ke hopu i ka pōpō.

ʻO ka lālā maʻalahi loa o ka ʻāpana pale ʻo ia ka linebacker (LB). Hiki iā ia ke ālai i ka mea loaʻa ākea a me ka tackle a ālai i ka mea holo hope i ka wā e kali ana i kahi manawa e intercept. ʻO ka hopena, pono nā mīkina lima a lākou e ʻaʻahu ai e hana i nā hiki "anti-collision + catching".
