This is why in these situations you need to double up on the attacker and give the winger a bit of support to make it as hard as possible for the attacker to get to the ball cleanly.
Colburn has been a great signing up to now, along with foxy they both make more metres out of our own half then any of our pack, he has also showed some deft finishing and seems a very good fit into our squad.
Ive always been of the opinion that it is in the defenders best interests to let the attacker jump and catch the ball and concentrate on getting in a good position to smother the ball preventing offloads/touchdowns. Obviously if the kick goes into the in goal then its got to be contested.
