[QUOTE="Zed, post: 631600, member: 38503"] Doubts from people who have probably never played rugby and don't understand the game. A team needs at least one back, preferably a 12 or 13 that has the power to break the gain line. A well organised defence will take care of a fast, elusive centre and will defend against fast accurate passes, but when you have a 6ft 110kg guy who can run as fast as Tuilagi can, it doesn't matter how good your defence is, sooner or later he will get through. You can know exactly where he's going to run, but it makes no difference. 11 tries in 21 tests speaks for itself. I'm just gobsmacked that people are criticising him as much as they are. [/QUOTE]
