Wade tackle monster

[mike909]

So, is it just me or has Christian become a bit of a tackle monster over the last month or so? Seems to really be getting stuck in.

Anyone know why or how?

Blame it on the scrum cap. Yesterday I noticed how much more physical Cipriani, Eastmond and Wade were. I think Juan de Jongh has been giving them masterclasses.

It might be the friendship he has developed with Kyle and seeing how ferocious a person of his size can tackle. Also wearing a scrum cap gives him the confidence his hair is going to be perfect at the end!!

I think that may be a factor, but I'd guess the defence coach may have had a word.

I never thought about a scrum cap for my hair, when I had any.........an oversight je  pense !

I get the impression, Juan doesn't like poor tacklers, the whole backline has been transformed in terms of defence, has there been a dictact from on high or has Eddie had a word with Chris?

That takes me back to a fellow team mate who always cared about his hair. He often had more than one (female) admirer at the pitchside with comb in hand for hair emergencies. Always made the rest of us laugh.
