In 2 tackles, Frans Steyn tackles Dan Carter. In both cases Dan Carter cant get up and just left lying on the ground wincing in agony.
This video needs to be updated with the Bismaark tackle of last year.
With Frans Steyn and Carter at 12, I want to see some big hits on Carter .

Carter hates physicality with a passion. A very clear way to shut him down was always to have Butch and Januarie hassle him while the outside backs cut off his runners. They had to play a really limited game not executing their move set. But Carter is usually protected. Remember Henry was bitching like a little sour old women after the 2008 away tests. He said we need refs to make sure that sort of thing doesn't happen in the game, i.e., no physical contact on his half-backs. Incidentally that was the same year he said Frans has special boots that make him kick farther. Hahahaha, put them on the backfoot, they crumble. They cannot cope with pure Bok physicality, especially when it is directed purposefully at the breakdown.

Steyn is so slow and so unbalanced - he will not be able to break anything. Leave alone a tackle by Carter. He has not made a single line break this year in Super 15 since Round 1 and no opposition center found it difficult to deal with him.
One can only hope Steyn managed to make at least 50% of his tackles - poor Jordaan will have to cover the missed tackles again.
