Rein's biggest issue defensively is that he gets popped out the back too often. He makes the tackle, his initial contact is good, his technique is solid. But when the play the ball happens, he is to the side of the ruck, on the ground and leaving us with one marker. It happens so often it's not funny.
But defence is a team effort. There are other defenders in the same tackle and they don't seem to be able to put the guy down hard, win any wrestle or dominate in any manner. They just grab on and concede metres. The stats are a bit misleading with the Dragons. It's not missed tackles that hurt us. It's dancing nanny boy soft c**k tackles that do the damage.
On the whole most of the Dragons defend reasonable well but as a collective unit that are total rubbish. I can't actually recall a team that has less killer instinct than our guys. It seems to be accepted.
