Its simple your take is a load of crap.....like exposing his channel, being weak in defence, does not create for his outside backs......its all a load of crap.

Planet rugby saw what the majority of us saw......a TOW performance by a player that has beaten more defenders than any other player in the WHOLE of the S15 this year.

But your rugby ignorance and pathetic bias leaves you incapable of seeing the obvious.....the same obvious that has people selecting DA week after week.

You are a stupid lone wolf.......you crap would carry weight if you had the majority backing your ignorance - you don't......TOW week after week and more defenders beaten.......case close ignorant man

Its the same video we saw you idiot.....we stand by it as well. Difference is, your take on what actually happened is a load of rubbish.

de Allende is the best centre in the competition this year.......not only the best in SA, the best out of ALL the sides in the whole comp 

Wrong I saw the game and am at work right now so will not be going through any footage.

As for Matfield, if taking the odd line out ball and making some nice open field tackles does it for you then be mu guest and select old Vic at 5.

Who said they rated Vic highly, would that be because he made 1 TOW??

I know better
