Prexactly.

@ACT-Crusader and @gt12 I think one of Owen's extra roles is to carry the aura!! But more seriously I think he does have some intimidation factor around scrummaging and ruck clean outs etc. Plus every now again he REALLY tags people in the tackle.

Number one is that he provides a strong and stable scrum. Very rare that he goes backwards and he doesn't seem to get penalized much - especially compared to whomever plays loosehead.
I though Laulala had some trouble on Saturday coming off the bench, where Owen didn't starting.
You don't rush to get rid of that.

Thought that would send off the bat sign.
Lately (i.e., last five or 6 games), it's pretty much always two actual missed tackles, and I wonder if that is because he is getting tired?
He did well against Australia, but less well against the French. Overall, I have him at about 78% success for this year, and 1.9 missed tackles over 80 minutes across 10 matches - including the three matches where he missed none. Source: ESPN stats
vs England, 44 minutes, made 6, missed 2 (75%, 3.6 for 80 minutes)
vs Australia (Tokyo), 52 minutes, made 5, missed 2 (71%, 3.1 for 80 minutes)
vs SA (in SA), 45 minutes, made 9, missed 2 (82%, 3.6 for 80 minutes)
vs SA (Wellington), 48 minutes, made 2, missed 1 (66%, 1.7 for 80 minutes)
vs Argentina (Nelson), 46 minutes, made 3, missed 2 (60%, 3.5 for 80 minutes)
vs Aus (Auckland), 51 minutes, made 11, missed 0 (100%, 0 for 80 minutes)
vs Aus (Sydney), 58 minutes, made 8, missed 0 (100%, 0 for 80 minutes)
vs France (Dunedin), 45 minutes, made 10, missed 2 (83%, 3.6 for 80 minutes)
vs France (Wellington), 33 minutes, made 3, missed 3 (50%, 7.3 for 80 minutes)
vs France (Auckland), 57 minutes, made 5, missed 0 (100%, 0 for 80 minutes)@gt12 one of the things that our props have been doing for a few years now is that one will shoot out of the line and try and sting the ball the ball carrier. Woody, Franks, Charlie, Wyatt, etc have all been given that task. Whilst landing the tackle is part of it, it’s more about disrupting their flow and attack. So if you were to go back through the stat books you will see missed tackles for all.

Thanks for that and taking the time to point out that comparing the 2 longest serving halfback's in AB history is retarded.
Hopefully the fern will revert back to talking about wives with nicknames and how little rugby everyone watches.
Good grief!

Randall could also only do two chin ups at Highlanders training. This is less than @Rocky-Rock-Rockbottom rock and @NTA
All I can see in that video is a young Phil Kearns.

Edit: That might be it, because the missed tackle stats are pretty bad for all front rowers.

@jegga well that is based on more truth, whereas his last one was a hatchet piece with no substance despite the headline claiming otherwise.

It wasn’t a dig at you , he does write a lot of clickbait waffle to pay the bills though

@billy-tell I Guess he mis-spelled clinical?
In the article from Paul, this pretty much sums it up:
No one in the Northern Hemisphere is willing to buy into the idea that the All Blacks success is built on hard work and ingenuity. Not exclusively certainly.
OK 'no one' might be a stretch' but point is valid
