[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 631690, member: 71068"] Watch this video, tulagi vs JDV. He's a great player, look at that cover tackle it's immense. But importantly watch how many times he turns down an overlap to try and break the tackle, the big hit on JDV 1.35 in is a perfect example. everyone goes "ooooooof" but he has actually butchered a 3vs2. Who's outside him? Brown and Ashton (neither slouches in attack) vs Habana and Tuilagi goes for the contact. Then again at 3:30, another 3vs2 gone because he decides to take on the man. Also look how often his ball carrying is actually ineffective. Yes he sucks in defenders, but he's not often getting over the advantage line an he's not generating quick ball by going to ground when his support hits. [video=youtube_share;vPHypYGNokU]http://youtu.be/vPHypYGNokU[/video] He is and will be for along time a superb player but he needs to develop his passing and decision making. I'm sure he'll do just that now he's back in the England set up. [/QUOTE]
