de Allende

90% of his metres were being held up for the strip. Arg slowed the ball down and Blocks had pitifully slow recycle. Yeah.... an effective carrier. If you can't put context to the numbers shut the fuck up you wank stain. 

Steyn was the top backline tackler with 8 t 1 miss ......... next best\worse, DeAllende 7 tackles but he missed half of em.

Steyn was supershit and De Allende very good in the last test,   I love ed to see how he went forward with three of four opponents trying to tackle him and then the ball came back to Frans Steyn to fuck up the forward movement gained by De Allende.    

So the idiots who see nothing in games they do not want to see is at it fulltime again.    LMAO

Take a deep breath ouMaaik  ...............  I'm simply showing some tackle stats .

So how many passes went to hand? Gain meters but no tries. 

The online backline try came when it went to Kriel, Moody and inside to Arendse. No Steyn or Dud involved.

Duane Vermeulen got more meters that Dud.

You have 3 loose forwards that can do the same job as dud, why have a 4th one when you want your outside backs to get their hand on the ball

In my mind, if you want to see ideal 12, watch Jordi Barrett dismantle Australia 

I think the decision's already made & DA will be playing at 12 at the RWC. 

Bilbo... what clean breaks did this chump make??? How many ACTUAL beaten defenders has he ever fucking made??? de Lindy gets talked high... slouches into the tackle and SOMETIMES that defender loses grip but de Lindy is already CONTAINED and SLOWLY moves forward into a pool of bodies and the Blocks recycle about 2 minutes later which is a fucking ETERNITY in rugby. Defence resets and the BLocks send it to a pod for some momentum or force a stupid ball wide and the wings get caught out wide and your forwards have to waste time and energy securing that ball... or it's fucxking kicked. There you go Bilbo... the blueprint of a de Lindy carry. Like I have already fucking shown you chumps... idiots preach stats... what the fuck does it ACTUALLY show you huh?? Fucking nothing. Two bozos come away with two ENTIRELY different INTERPRETATIONS of what that LOOKED like in the game. You can either WATCH the game and ANALYSE the game or you fucking know nothing. de Lindy is SHIT... even the dumbest Blocks now admit it. 

Wash you mouth out you disgusting freak

Ignore... in another way of saying it... I'll wave my white flag with my chest puffed out in defiance and a little tear down your sullen cheek. My god it's almost enough to make me take you out back like old yeller and put you down for good. Pathetic. 

Nooooo don’t even mention Old Yeller…..it still hurts even more than Ring of Bright Water.

DDA is very strong and does tractor very well , but not much else of what a actual 12 should bring to the game...his defence used to be more solid but in the tests played so far this year, his sloppy defence has costed us a lot of points...also his lack of finishing Scoring opportunities + Dumb on field decisions....but it doesn't really matter in anycase.... as Duh Allendig fits Perfectly into the R&N scheme of things and will most probably stay there. 

Mpower his defence was actually a lot worse. |What the fuckinh hell grade dung have you been feeding on all this time eh? This is THE best version of DL EVER. WAAAAAAY better than pre-2020. Facts... he got shitter each year you go back. He is not that fucking strong. What the fuck kinda bitch has to slouch into contact slowly??? This fuck doesn't rate in the top 100 strongest players. Stupid yarpies thinking they are some macho men of world rugby... that shit hasn't been real since the days they got into fist fights in the 00s and literally fucked everyone up... physically. These clowns don't compare. DL is entirely made up... none of the shit he is praised for is real. Most of the sdhit I read about never happens in reality. Totally made up shit. You morons eat it up all day long... probably because you have nothing to be proud of and are THAT desperate to feel significant on the world stage. Throwing token complements and mentions in the media because they know what string to pluck and you bozos think it's real! Fucking hilarious!!! 

Jordie Barret is new to 12 but showed more and Samu Kerevi.

It is always amazing that we have so many experts on this site who knows better than any coach or for that matter any experts iro rugby in the professional era.    Most of them shourt and scream about players and come up with BS.

Take for instance Mozart - if he cannot find anything to criticize iro players - he dreams up incidents and when analyzing his description as to what happened - it is ceaar that wat he wrote happened is false and boil down to lying. 

Anything he writes about his pet hate players for near to a decade has always been falsified.   For instance he abuse rugby stats by picking and choosing what stats he would use and what stats he will not use.    If he thinks that for instance think that stats will be useful in his discrediting campaigns he  would use anything - whether of any value or not.   

Because so much in total BS is rife on the site - I stayed away for months from making contributions since total BS prevailed here.      

Michael, that’s quite enough drinking for one session, ok??

moolaa. Uncle Mike is not a drinker.

Well Comrade ... you said that you make a study of everything you post about ... including rugby, tennis and politics.

If that is indeed true, then you would have noticed that De Lindy tends to crashball everything ... which inevitably ends up with him going to ground still in possession of the ball.

We know he can distribute ... we have seen him do it two or three times this year ... but we also know that he prefers to play the hero by either hanging on to the ball ... or kicking it away.

In your extensive studies, have you noticed that while he's playing at 12 the entire backline is taken out of play? That the backline have to compete among themselves for the scraps of possession that's available? 

Where is the logic in selecting a player that takes more than 25% of his team mates out of the game?

We have also noticed that he lacks the basic skills of defending his channel ... that he's hopeless at preventing or stopping an attacking player 10m out from scoring a try.

Why would you want such an unreliable player in your team?

Please use your superior learning and explain these two concepts to me ... cause I just don't get it.

Saffex, what I don't get is that one moment you are advocating for Willemse to be our 12, but then some of the scribes in the media punts Dud and he is your guy all of a sudden. Lets just be honest about the Team of the Tournament. There were no real 12's that stood out in this year comp. I didn't see any from Argentina, Australia nor New Zealand. Havallie was exposed but redeemed himself against the boks. Then Jordy Barret only had one game for the ABs. Had he played their all tournament it could have been a different story. 

I think that he will feature for the AB there going forward. He has been playing at 12 for the Hurricanes. Like Willemse, is an extremely talented player with size and a siege gun of a boot. 

I have been pulling my hair out every time Dud touches the ball, either messes up an overlap, kicking when he shouldn't, passes not going to hand, missing tackles. Etc. 

Then you raved about how good Willemse are. The only different is that Willemse still has the skill to pass with both hands. 

Why don't think Eddie Jones uses Owen Farrel at 12, Jordy Barrett etc. 

Then, look at Sonny Bill, yes the guy was big, hard to bring down, but he could at least pass or better, offload. He was so descructive that teams didn't know what to do with him. 

Now if Dud could actually off load or even pass then he would be right up there. But instead, head down and tractor on. 

Also, of course he will make more meters than a loose forward. That is because he is a back and he has more time on the ball than a forward to gain momentum and get over the advantage line.

But any of our faster forwards can have the same impact. Kolisi, Wiese, Etzebeth to name a few could just stand in the 1st channel and run off the 10's shoulder. 

So why have a 9th loose forward on the park. 

It is simple, Rassie doesn't want to spread the ball wide and want to play off turn over ball. 

Kicks have been figured out, mauls have been figured out. Teams are no longer defending wide and dropping players back. So much space out wide but have Dud that just can't draw and pass. 

Yeah he was really shit gaining 53m in 7 runs making 1 clean break and beating 6 defenders in the process

Players do not run metres to run metres, they do not beat defenders to beat defenders.

Actions on a field must be associated with a cause and a purpose.

Quite often, in collective sports, letting headless chickens run around is one way to deal with them.

Headless chickens usually end with many run metres, they bring no decision for their team.
