Tho se who read the article I linked to last week will remember how that analyst highlighted Japan stacking attackers to outnumber the Irish defense on the outside. They did the same against the Boks, but Am in particular was instrumental in shutting down the danger.


Here are a few plays highlighting the Japanese stacking overlaps on us, with Am shutting them down every time.


Number 1 (tackle):



Number 2 (tackle):



Number 3 (intercept):

Good points Pakie....Am apparently read these situations well. Reminds one of JdV who was always quick to rush his opponent when an overlap was building.


In your first example though, if Liggies could have gotten the pass away it looked like a Blossoms try. A player like Savea would have made that pass.

He has proven to be a good organiser of defence. The new Jaque Fourie.

Yep, very weak pass in the first example ... to Lappies though, not by him. Pressure played a role, but a better player would have gotten it away. Am hits far more than he misses though, these are just a few of his successful shots. Will do some for Faf later as well.

Foeitog - another If my antie had balls she would have been my uncle.  Against stronger forwards - like in the SA game Savea is more a carrier of the ball than a passer (9 carries and 2 passes) and he is more of a slower crashballer than Labuschagne is. So what makes you even think he would be in the position you seems to think he could be.     Savea is also a blind side flank with no chance to be in the position you said he would have been able to make the pass.

No you didn't look at your first sentence....you have been making slimy remarks for months. Unwise with all the skeletons in your closet.

If your Auntie had balls it may be the same situation as Caster Semenya. Do you have the reverse situation with Moobs?

Okay, okay....let's give Tokkie a break. The Boks are in the semis and Eraser is a genius according to Dave. All's right with the  world. Go Am, go Bokke!
