That pass for Yeamo to set Tali up was sublime!

he is defensively better than Sneyd Steve. Just dont have him isolated like he was against Cas. Look at Tuimavave's defence against Cas, his was awful too - pushed off far too many times. It tightened up 2nd half against Cas and didnt miss a tackle last night
if he plays next week against cats and has a stormer like last night, it will be a big call to leave him out, interesting times on what might be our 17?

Abbo simply cannot defend on the fringes where fast players will run around him with ease, as Cas did, but defending up the middle he is doing very well. Let's not forget he hasn't had much of a run in the first team but you can't deny that as a half back, he played better than Leon has all season.
Besides, Sneyd's defence isn't all that good either.

Genuine question
How many play makers are top notch defensively?
there is not the ideal world of the all round complete player.
I think some of the criticism of Adbull on here is been OTT. He is never going to be a twig or lightning fast, but he can put a player through a gap, has a reasonable look kicking game, can beat a man with his step and can score barge over tries against smaller defenders.

Radford has already confirmed subject to injuries that he knows his wembley 17 apart from one bench spot. he also said Snyed and Tuimavave will be the halfs
