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?

You don't expect those screaming idiots to get things correct do you?

I'm not going to go back through the footage, but the same one from the side that @Bones mentioned.

I like you Nepia see things in game, but I don't take note of when they happen etc or be bothered to go back through game to find them, but I thought the big Cane hit was different to that one.

yeah this is a weird one even for the Fern. Cane absolutely flattens a bloke, i even commented on it in the game thread because i was in teh middle of typing a post about where the fuck our loosies were.

Are you sure that wasn't done by Ofa too?

@Nepia cane is doing a good job there regardless. If he throws too much intent he risks a card as the guy is well chopped.

Can stays high in the line and helps dislodge the ball. See ardie fades off and looks for the jackal, different intents from 2 inside defenders.

Sorry for derailing the thread.

Getting back on track - this is a good article that shows the maturing of Rieko - he's come a long way the last couple of years.

All very good, but it is his decision making that he really needs to work on. He was behind the errors leading to two Irish tries. As an individual he's awesome, but decisions as 13 needs a lot of work

I'm interested to hear more about this.

The first irish try came from 18 phases and the ABs defence had numbered up correctly.

The second irish try came from Jordie shooting up leaving a slight overlap/gap on the outside.

The reasoning behind that comment is pretty clear in this - originally shared by @Machpants in the first test thread

Thanks!

Really interesting reading.

I disagree with the comment that Jordie had no choice but to shoot up for the 2nd try given Rieko's speed and ability to close space late. To me that looks like two players first test of the season not used to defending together.

Yep you're probably right. It must be a tough line to tread for a high-level rugby player - where's the line between trusting your team-mate to do his job, and stepping in because you trust your own ability?

IMO you ALWAYs trust your team mate, because then if it doesn't happen it is their fault

But really you've got to trust otherwise defensive systems will never work. More tries are given away by players covering someone that they don;t need to but can't help themselves than just leaving it to a team mate who fails
