[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 790874, member: 56232"] As I have said many times, they made clean breaks and meters down his channel because EVERY time they had an overlap and he was trying to mark 2 people running at him. It's not his fault for the fact the rest of the defence was repeatedly putting him in a situation where he was the sole defender and outnumbered, no winger can be blamed for conceding ground in those circumstances. Any semi-competent attack should always beat the defender in that situation and make ground. He didn't completely nullify it because no defender can be expected to, the point was he didn't let in any tries that way and did a lot of damage limitation, something I doubt very much Wade would have managed to do. This isn't a case of failing to make straight up 1 on 1 tackles, it's a case of damage limitation and trying to concede as little as possible when facing 2 on 1 or 3 on 1. [/QUOTE]
