[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1205840, member: 73144"] Maybe, although I think it was more a case of Murley doing everything right and TBF I’d be expecting any top class winger with that amount of space to finish that. Not sure whether Brown actually made contact with the tap tackle, but the stride immediately after that looked like Murley stumbled slightly and was heading infield after which he changed direction for the outside and switched on the afterburners. I can understand why that would have caused Steward to hesitate for a fraction of a second after which he was never in with a chance. Brown also had the chance of a tackle earlier in the move, but was treading water. He wasn’t fast enough for wing a decade ago, let alone now. Many other wings would probably have prevented Steward from being exposed like that. I’m not sure speed’s Steward’s issue, more agility and acceleration. Unsurprising he looked clumsy against Murley who’s about half his size. [/QUOTE]
