Allende the revolving door

What is missing from Allende's skill set.....passing, accelerating the line, tactical kicking, deception....certainly. But defence, the total absence of reliable defence in his third year as a Bok looks like a fatal flaw. ....... The problem is not only his abysmal tackling. He only attempted 11 tackles in 2 tests on the YE tour and missed 4.That's right our primary open field tackler managed 7 tackles in 2 tests. But that's not all, he is still on his heels, bringing up the defensive line at snails pace.....allowing our opponents easy access to the land beyond the advantage line. ......... Will he ever live up to his obvious physical potential? It seems not, Allende is not learning in any obvious way.
