McCaw the culprit

The New Zealand's Herald's resident stats expert Tracey Nelson reveals that Richie McCaw missed the most tackles during the All Blacks loss to the Wallabies.

"There were signs of what was to come in the first half when, with almost their first touch of the ball, the All Blacks were counter-rucked and conceded a penalty within the first minute of play.

The All Blacks had to defend for long periods in the first half, making a total of 84 tackles and 16 assists - which was 67 per cent of the total tackles and assists they had to make in the entire game.

Top tackler was Victor Vito with 15 tackles and two assists. Dan Carter made the least number of tackles with just one successful attempt and two misses."
