...JJ missed 22% of his tackles in the internationals last year. That means he fails Clever's test. By contrast Adi Jacobs in 2008 missed 8% of his tackles. In the same number of full tests for which we have stats (9) Adi also outscored JJ by 6 tries to 3. Adi scored a try every three halves. Surprising hey?

 

Adi also turned over the ball half as much as JJ ....6 vs 12. And he ofloaded 7 times as much as JJ...7 vs 1. Counter intuitive for you...methinks. Hahahaha.

All I know is that JJ was defensively better than Jean in the tests against NZ and Oz last year.......for me that is more than good enough given Jean's standing as a test centre. 

His defence was one of the worst in last years S15, this year it is one of the best .......thats the mark of a player who has learnt the art of defending at 13.

As for Adi, well he was just piss poor, even worse than de Jongh.......he was not called revolving door for no reason!

Not even close Dave.....JJ made 78 percent of his tackles....over the same 9 tests JDV made 57 of 62 tackles or 92 percent. No wonder you always come to the wrong conclusion when you are operating with the wrong facts. Over to you to now admit JDV was waaaaaaay better than JJ on defence.
