JJ the astute defender

Given your pathetic attempt above, I'd say you were thick or clearly failed to watch the game.

Simple yes or no will do, did JJ tackle Foloau around the ankles?  

Rugby 365 Team of the Week appearances for South African centres:

De Jongh (1)

De Villiers (1)

Jordaan (1) 

Frans (1)

......

Serfontein (0)

JJ Engelbrecht (0)

.....

Just another data point

Ah would that be the de Jongh that got owned again with the one on one tackle......the little guy is making a bit of a habit of this. His selection by 365 that week was a joke.

Rugby 365 is hardly the measure. It does not take into account that a player like JJ only had 2 running opportunities this weekend, where he gained 30m beat 2 defenders and had one clean break, was brilliant in snuffing out any attempt at a Tahs attack.

Serfontein and JJ are by far our best centres, despite playing in a Bulls side that plays 10 man rugby  

I never said the stats were no measure but you do concede that stats paint only a fraction of the picture. I am happy with stats, the teams selected by 365 are a joke. They had Frans bubbling under at 12 a few games ago when he played most of the game at 10 and did very little.

JJ is by far our best 13 and Serfontein has left Jean in the dust, when last did Jean do anything but give away penalty after penalty......he is done  

Ok OoM I accept you challenge and I have looked for de Allende at centre. I can't find him. Could you kindly point him out ?

Yep I'd have Serfontein over Jean without a blink. Has been vs the new boy - no contest.

Much like Lood over Bakkies, du Plessis or PSDT over Matfield
