This time there was no De Allrende to blame.  At least unsettled Kuridrani and he lost the ball as a result four or five meters further,   
The same happened today with Kuridrani running between the two centers and when De Jongh tried to tackle him he just ran through him and a try was scored as a result of the feeble tackle attempt. 
Please provide the info - it would be very interesting to see your response.

Seemed to be a missed assignment rather than a missed tackle. De Jongh had a fine game much more productive than his opposite number Toomua. And his insistence that Mann-Rea should go made Jaco take another look.
But it's nice to see you finally admit that Kuridrani ran through Allende for the crucial try which lost a game the Boks had already done enough to win last year. Thanks sucker.

 Mozart
I said he did - but I did not lie about the consequences.   What is the difference between a missed assignment and a feeble missed tackle?  That is the worst excuse I have ever come across on this board - total verbal garbage.  
So he insisted that the referee must take another look - it was the linesman who advised the referee takes another look at the issue.  He argued that it was not a yellow card - but a red one.  That was his total contribution - probably the only positive thing about his contribution in the game - but the ref ignored him and asked what the TV Ref saw and that was the decisive issue in that case.    
What aside from a knock on at kick in and the missed tackle mentioned - what did De Jongh contributed to the game?   I actually saw nothing that is worth mentioning.  
Thanks sucker - you really outdid yourself this time with absolute crap.

 De Jong beat more defenders than his opponents, and gained more metres per run than his opponents....he got over the advantage line every time he ran the ball. 
As for the missed assignment, it was unfortunate...but the only real lapse against a strong backline.

 Just checked the stats - De Jongh carried the ball 8 times - making 24 meters - massive achievement of an average of three meters per carry.- and what was the result of the carries.  He lost ball possession twice in the process.
Sure the one missed tackle was unfortunate according to Mozart - but ESPN insisted he attempted 10 tackles missing four of those - in other words a missed tackle ratio of 40% - both standard De Jongh stats.
Why all the BS, Mozart.  Stick to facts and then an objective assessment is possible.

de Jongh's miss on Kuridrani was nothing short of poor.....there was no excuse for that miss at all.
de Jongh is not up to playing centre at this level, he is just not physical enough.....hardly noticed him with ball in hand, made no impression and 4 missed tackles speaks volumes for his lack of physicality......he should stick to 7's where he shines in space against smaller players much like Geduld does
de Jongh is a liability for the Stormers....his partnership with Kotze for the Stormers lets them down in a big way......no attacking clout whatsoever......it just does not work with a 87kg inside centre operating inside a 90kg outside centre......its a disaster waiting to happen
Moz, Toomua was in a different class to de Jongh.....I could see why so many had raved about this guy as a player......he might not have had earth shattering stats that game, but he oozed class. The real deal at 12 vs de Jongh the pretender

 De Jongh has been the best South African centre of the tournament so far....nobody has been stellar, but de Jongh has been professional and competent.

 Francois Venter has been far better than De Jongh, but I do not think you know for which team he is playing - so no use pointing that out to you.
