An outspoken English rugby columnist has deemed Sam Cane as

Think I will take more notice of Kieran Read, especially as he says what I ramble on about all the time, ie Cane is made for test rugby, the way he plays etc is what we need.

Knowing fully well from experience, Read said Cane has “definitely got a good shoulder, real heavy”, as evidenced by one particular big shot he put on on the weekend,
Poor Ofa, Cane taking all the credit because our commentators are shit, and our press look no further than what is easily found on google
-
@Machpants the only one in the press to pick up that Ofa was the one who made the tackle was SBW - who mentioned it about 5 times during the Stan coverage of the Wallaby game.

How embarassing for the rest than it was the genius SBW that picked it up

Well Ofa and Cane are almost twins

Is that why Ofa is so fast for a prop, or Cane slow for a loosie?

I'm pretty sure I saw Cane doing a hit that made a player spill the ball, UK commentary didn't even have a name until the replay. How was Ofa involved?

I went back and had a look - I can find the time stamp if need be - Cane was right next to Ofa and the Irish player fell towards Cane so at a glance I can see why it was attributed to Cane but it was Ofa's shoulder/hit/tackle that caused the spill.
Not to go full GAGR but see the below.
-
@KiwiMurph that makes it look like the jolting impact to force the turnover came from Cane with Ofas low tackle simply enabling that contact. So I really don't follow what people are saying in this thread. Or is it a different tackle? The Barnes article was just a click bait windup.

Ofa is a lightweight.

I'm not savvy enough to turn it into a gif but in the motion/video it's Ofa's hit that has all the impact.
I've gone into way too much detail already so I might as well keep going.
It looks like the ball comes out prior to Cane making any contact at all as Furlong carries into contact with his left arm/side and this is a still image from just before the image I posted above with Ofa making the hit and Cane between Ardie and Furlong (blocked by Irish 8 Doris) yet to make contact.

Cane doesn't really do anything. Ofa just tackles the player into Cane.

But that's not the massive hit Cane did. Why is that one even being debated?

Because that big hit was called as from cane in game and was then mentioned in a lot of press articles in their post match reviews and player ratings.
Could you point out the big hit cane did do?
