[QUOTE="RyotoTheDragon, post: 761532, member: 53219"] Well that comment was directed towards that poster because in the past few weeks he has been a bit critical of Kaino. To answer your question, I thought he stepped up his game to accommodate the competition today. Some have criticized his form lately, saying that he has lost a step in the physicality department which is considered one of his main assets. But yeah no I thought he carried and tackled well, either making ground in carrying or staying on his feet to allow for support or stopping defenders making ground or pushing them back. I think the first turnover of the game was a result of his hit. His clearing of the breakdown was good as well, I think for Julian's second try he was the first guy at the breakdown to clear out after Ben Smith took the ball from Picamoles. I saw a moment when Dusautoir had a carry and Kaino made sure that he was going to make an aggressive tackle on him, I thought that kind of summarized his performance today. But yeah just thought that overall he played well and we need that from him to accommodate Read being quite loose. [/QUOTE]
