The lunacy never stops ever, Mozart - nothing will stop you from spouting BS on site, You suffer from DDS and needs to get psychological help from a shrink urgently.
Your support of 7's like A lbergts were endless - but the useless FATSO never in his whole rigby career was ever a force at breakdown play and ever made a single turn over in all the years he played superrugby and in tests, The best bacl;ine player when ot comes to breakdown ball turnovers - he riotinely made as many turnovers as Marx made - but h e si not credited as a player who made such turnovers - but dementia sufferers like you does not want to see it nd never gave him credit for that.
S o wha does te technique entails. Rge tackled player must fall vortually a meter from the player who tries to make a turnpver and players often get penalized tying to attmpt such turnovers. Attemtps are as oftn penalized s they are. Look why Vernmeulle male so many turnovers successful - it raely happen in thecase of tall players - but shorter players like Vermeulen and Marx is more capatble in making sccessful turnovers, Du Toit has had some minor successes per year in that - players like Mostert and Matfield never even attempted it.
So what is really going on here? It is just another imaginary issue that is now is in his besotted mind a means to attack players he hates.

Dud Toit gets MVP for South Africa in the RC. Now, while his flaws in running the ball and his non presence in contesting the ball on the ground haven’t changed, I do think he is probably playing his best rugby. His positional sense is excellent and his lineout play has improved. And he was visible in the tight exchanges, notably getting Marx over the line in the Twickenham test. So while I have always felt he would be better at lock, it’s not clear there are any better options at blindside right now.
But then one reads this:
’But he didn't stop there; the following week at Twickenham, Du Toit was a defensive juggernaut with 11 tackles and plowed through the opposition with eight carries, solidifying the Boks' historic back-to-back Rugby Championship titles.’
So here are the facts. He made 11 tackles as did Nortje, Etzebeth made 9, Marx 10 and Wiese 12. But he also missed 2. A pretty normal performance for a blindsider. Kremer by the way made 17 tackles and Rubiolo 14 without missing any.
Then on the ploughing through the opposition….yes he made 8 carries…..but for 5 metres gain, no breaks, no defenders beaten….no offloads. About as toothless a running performance as you’ll ever see….Kremer made 28 metres.
The rubbish that is written which forms fan opinion is almost comical, it certainly isn’t serious sports journalism.
