How Mozart is going to explain away the following is going top be most delightful.   I had the impression that Alberts had the poorest game I have seen from a no 7 for years.


I could be wrong - so I decided to look at his stats for the game - and my umpression was fully confirmed:-



Alberts

0/0

0

0/0/5

13

0

0

1

0

4/2

0/0

2

0/0


He loafed through the game and when he did do anything - he gave away penalties.   He -


*  carried the ball five times for a territory gain of 13 meters (average 2,6 meters per carry);


*   he attempted 6 tackles - missing 2 (missed tackle ratio - 33,3%)


Summary - a shit poor performance at best


Just to irritate Mozart further - I am adding the stats of Labuschagne to show what reasonably should be delivered by a no 7 loosie:-




Labuschagne

0/0

0

0/1/5

15

0

0

2

17/1

1/0

0/0

He was off the pace today and gave a "Fat Albert" performance. Although he will come back with some strong games. 
He is a tight loosie that plays more like a lock to win the battle of the advantage line. This is why his metres are usually lower than say a loosie like Bob Skinstad or Joe Van Niekerk who play out wider from the ruck and therefore have more space to move in.

I have studied Alberts performances in Super 15 in 2013 as well and they normally amounts to very little.  You are correct - he is not a loosie - he is a tight 5 player masquerading as a loosie.

Solid stuff from Alberts in a tight contest. Unfortunately some pundits don't see the power he brings in the close exchanges, unlike Coetzee who was tossed like a toothpick by Hougaard.
As for Labuschagne....a huge process tackle count, but if not him, the next in line. He was pretty anonymous.

Are you really that thick?   Alberts added NO POWER to anything.  The one time he tried - he brought down a maul and was penalized.  How many times did he stand around at the back of mauls doing squat?     


This is par for the course as to Alberts in Super 15.  He did it last year - and he did it in the Saracens game earlier this year.   He is too poor to be a Process player - because his tackling range from shit poor to non-existent.  


He got -7 points for performance in foxsport - the worst rating of any player playing yesterday.    In Test Rugby  he got 80 points - anything less than 100 is big time failure.


In any event - White is not going to put up with that kind of bullshit from any player - he may be out of the Sharks team sooner than you think.

 Have to agree Alberts had better watch it. Deysel is snapping at his heels at the Sharks   and J aque played a stormer for the bulle. 
Alberts is a big man and takes time to hit his straps - we shall see.
