Which had stuff all to do with being out of position and everything to do with missing straight forward one on one tackles.

 

Minute 31, de Jongh misses Benjamin who goes on to set up the Willie try in minute 32

 

Minute 74, de Jongh misses Watts who sets up the Nkanyane try

 

Two poor misses by the little guy leading to two tries - FACT, no BS Moz

As I can remember it De Jongh never even attempted tackles in  the two cases mentioned - so that would not come up in his stats as missed tackles.   For the rest he mare 8 tackles and missed 3 - add the other two you mentioned and he missed 5.  That is what I call bullshit defense - a missed tackle ratio of 38,5%.
Don't ex[ect anything but further BS from Mozart - the Archangel De Jongh can do no wrong.

Yeah, JJ brings AC down in a flash but gets blamed for the try...........de Jongh misses two straight forward tackles and is absolved of all guilt.......its a good thing we have video evidence to prove the opposite on all fronts.

 

 

de Jongh has proved in his last two games that he is a liability at centre. I like him as a player but not at centre, he is too small. He should be played on the wing

I told you to post the clips Dave....we all know this is BS.  But if de Jongh missed a tackle ....at least he didn't miss being picked for his team....waaaaaah ahahahaa.....the beginning of the inevitable end of the JJ myth.

Try Youtube..........its there for everyone to see.........Moz sounds like you are a little scared of the truth......just as I suspected.

 

 

Last I checked, JJ was being rested......unless rotation means dropped in your world.......which I suspect it does.......much like de Jongh being out of position......that has to be the joke of the year thus far

Last I checked JJ had played every game at centre and therefore one would have to conclude he is a centre........am I missing something. At least he can tackle unlike wee de Jongh

Well not every game, let's not exaggerate ....he is playing the next game on the bench.

Yeah its called squad rotation.....same applies to in form Potgieter at 10 being rested. The bench backs were a 10 in Pollard and a 13 in Small-Smith......makes perfect sense that if players are to be rested it would be the 10 and 13.

Same applies to Kruger at 3, although Marcel v/d Merwe should have been starting ahead of him from day one.......but given Kruger has started all the games it makes sense to rest him.

I take it you are not a fan of rotation in a season comprising 15 odd matches?
