[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 930471, member: 13739"] Not sure what game people were watching, but Tipuric was excellent as ever, especially in that last 10 minutes when we tried to hand the game back to France with messed up lineouts etc. His defense was immense all match, especially at the death where he was defending out wide, pushing up quickly and forcing France backwards. He put in 18 tackles with none missed on Friday. Moriarty made 20, but he also missed quite a few, and could have been pinged at least twice for no arms. Added to that, he was a real nuisance factor to the French kickers, either flattening them just after the ball had gone (perfectly legally), or charging down a key dropped goal attempt. He also instigated a number of tackle maul attempts, and would have been successful with another ref. It may not have been a night for him to showcase his immense attacking ability, and he didn't get too many opportunities on the deck, but imo he was he was one of the best players on the pitch, and showed once again that he's one of the most rounded players in the world.
