[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 782623, member: 38640"] Agreed. The thing is - there are 7's out there who make a tonne of tackles. Dusatoir was one of them. But if you're rating your 7 simply by their tackle count, why criticize Chris Robshaw in the first place? He made plenty of tackles as a 7. The point is that of you look at the All Blacks, so many points are scored from turnover ball and counterattacks. If you're content to tackle for 20 phases, you're losing a lot of attacking opportunities and just limiting the time you can go on the offensive. It's simply dumb not to have a specialist 7; I have no idea why Eddy Jones thinks otherwise. [/QUOTE]
