[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1038734, member: 82670"] Good post. You won’t be surprised to hear that I see some of it differently particularly the bold bit So, for me, this is exactly the reason why Williams is the better defender. I mean, Williams probably only weighs a kilo or 2 more than Hogg (if that) even though he is about a foot taller (joke) and I totally 100% agree with you on the commitment thing but this is one of Williams’ most valuable assets as a player. He is literally insane, certified nut case and probably not all there in the head (in terms of on the pitch) and while this does bring a whole other set of issues (cards etc) what it brings on the positive side is 100% commitment in the tackle. In fact, funnily enough, I think I was listening to SOB the other week talking about Williams and this very thing. Not only is he a fan of Tipuric but Williams as well it would seem. I’ll see if I can dig out the quote. Having said all that I agree with the general gist and I definitely don’t think Hogg is weak in this regard just that especially against the South Africans, Williams’ extra height and his commitment in the tackle makes him better in that area for me.
