[QUOTE="Mcfadden, post: 743333, member: 72865"] I've been trying to think who New Zealand's crippling tackler will be this time around. In 2003 and 2007 there was Jerry Collins, then Richard Kahui in 2011 (especially with that humdinger on Quade Cooper). I'd say this time it could be between Fekitoa, who can race up out of the line very quickly and occasionally he'll belt someone and SBW who has solid tackling stats and can lay one on. Unfortunately for the minnow teams, they'll probably be the ones to face these two. A lot of people don't talk about it, but Wyatt Crockett can also thump people into the dirt as well. Not sure if the Franks brothers have stood out in this area for a couple of years, but they're worth a mention. What I don't want to see is either of them doing a suicide dive into a ruck and giving away penalties. Which use to be an amusing sight, but the referees have cracked down in recent times and deemed it dangerous. [/QUOTE]
