In the Ireland v Wales match I would submit the reason that Roberts, for example, got so many tackles in is because the Irish ran straight at him, and conversely the Welsh ran straight at the Irish neither seemingly making any attempt to avoid the contact. Making tacking the player with the ball child's play. This should be taken into account when looking at tackles made stats. On the other hand Haskell went hunting for a least a good few of those hits and I think played pretty well all being said.
