Some interesting individual stats from the test match, in particular the tackle count and missed tackles.
Whitelock - 19/0
Read - 16/2
Todd - 16/1
Coles - 15/2
Retallick - 13/1
Crotty - 12/1
Moody - 10/4
Perenara - 9/1
Kaino - 8/2
Crockett - 8/1
Franks - 8/1http://www.espn.com.au/rugby/playerstats?gameId=268581&league=268561
Hmmmm, so my placing Kaino first based on some rock star tackles looking shaky.
Nope, look at the amount of votes Savea got and his first half performance was one of the worst by an AB ever, yet two tries in the last 20 have sealed his top 3 placing.

Worst performance by an AB ever. Lol, you're on quite a crusade against him aren't you?

@No-Quarter my guess is that was a big piece of bait that Nepia has had sitting waiting to use...

It is getting to Davidavesque levels.

He's been trying to bait people ever since Savea proved him wrong again after the match. He's getting more and more extreme with each comment, now he's just taking the piss.
All I can say about Savea is thank fuck Hansen and co are selectors and not some of the blokes on here, without his performance that game could have gone down to the wire.

I think that's his "thing" to go along with Franks' "must begin with an offside penalty".
Our entire team was offside the first few phases, until the ref puts down the marker.
I spent the first minute if the match (internally) shouting at us to get onside.
Yeah, true enough, still - I'd be interested to see how often it's Franks that gives away the first penalty and for offside - I wouldn't be surprised if it's half the games this year.

@No-Quarter He was awesome in that final 20, I can acknowledge that, I find it weird that others can't acknowledge how bad he was in that first half.

Piss off, I just don't fawn over him like you guys do, that last 20 was the old Savea we haven't seen for a while, but that first half was shit.

Yeah sure....if a while is since his last game.

Do you truly think Savea was the equivalent of that last 20 minutes in the Argentina match? Bemused emoji.
Anyway, I'd be happy for them to select him in the next match based on that last 20.

In a game where we missed 24 I think Moody's stats are an aberration on what was a poor tackling night overall by the team.
The thing with our props is that the strategy is to shoot out of the line hard so they are more prone to slipping off tackles (counts as a miss) but still stopping some of the ball carriers momentum.
