[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 527011, member: 24910"] Yep I agree with that. I certainly emphasizes my point that creativity at 12 is not a pre-requisite for 12's in today's game. Last time I checked Australia were playing at International level, not Super Rugby level ;) I would be interested in what you are basing Tapuai having a higher tackle rate than McCabe, as the stats I have don't suggest this at all. These are the stats from when Tapuai, McCabe, and Harris played at 12 during in the 2012 Super Rugby season (courtesy of [URL="https://webmail.staff.otago.ac.nz/owa/redir.aspx?C=HFg4tuGjA0e-UvKtRyp8cPgRpK6Ebs8IxLn9lMm12O-A21aoHOiSYVr3KGhqPk6j6dKptPguoQs.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fsuperrugbyfantasy.foxsports.com.au%2fstats%2f"]foxsports.com.au[/URL]): Tapuai: 559 Minutes, 56 tackles, 7 missed tackles (8.0 tackles per 80 mins, 89% success rate) Harris: 797 Minutes, 79 tackles, 16 missed tackles (7.9 tackles per 80 mins, 83% success rate) McCabe: 1015 minutes, 106 tackles, 8 missed tackles (8.4 tackles per 80 mins, 93% success rate) So while this does show that Tapuai is a good defender, he doesn't have a higher tackle rate than McCabe (indeed he makes slightly less tackles, at a slightly worse percentage!).
