It hasn't helped playing To'omua at fullback. He is a much better flyhalf. Couldn't see why they didn't try Lealiifano there. He has a similar game to Beale and could make use of the extra space.

Quade only 1 off Burgess who is noted more than anything for his defense. Hopefully he keeps improving, he was well in front on the list this time last year.

Exactly...
No. of tackles missed means nothing unless you show how many tackles were made/attempted...

Yes obviously. My point was more that it was good to see him much lower on the list, and even better seeing an Englishman topping it.

If Morne Steyn is making that top 20 list it shows how fucked the Bulls are. They oppo are getting waaayyyyyy too much ball and are getting too much chance to pump it up his channel.
Back rowers in top 20:
NZ 10
SA 3
AU 2

I think the reason why that list is short on Aussie backrowers is because the Australian backrows haven't been consistent this year, particularly in regards to their openside flankers who generally make the most tackles...
The Brumbies have alternated through Hooper, Fainga'a, and Salvi... and all of them have made loads of tackles every game they've started... same with Kimlin...
The Tahs have alternated between Waugh and McCutcheon...
The Force have gone through Pocock, Hodgson and others...
Robinson didn't get his first start with the Reds until a few rounds in and they've regularly rotated their backrows...

IMO he has been the form Aussie back-rower in the competition week in week out.... and a steal in fantasy rugby.

To be fair,
If either Hooper or Fainga'a had of started in every match this year they would probably be ahead of Lam in the tackle count...
But I would love to have him instead of Salvi who has just been dire since week 2...

That's a rather interesting list....

Removing the individual results, the top three teams listed are the Cheetahs (5), Bulls (4) and Rebels (4). 65% come from just three teams.

This is going to be a try fest... and I strangely think Brumbies can still win if they just hold onto some ball.
