Tackles made , looks good right
Nortje 18
Du Toit 15
Roos 15
Willemse 14
Kriel 13
De Villiers 13
But then there’s tackles missed:
Pollard 7
Kriel 5
Van der Merwe 4
Du Toit 4
Nortje 4
Willemse 3
All those players were tackling at 80% or much less. The only productive tacklers that had a high percentage success were Roos and de Villiers who only missed one tackle. Overall the team was tackling at 80%. That’s about as low as you’ll ever see the Bok team.
Scotland had 61% of possession, 58%of territory. They outgained us 549 metres to 337 metres. They had 15 line breaks to 5 by the Boks.
All that suggests there is a lot to fix before the AB series
