There are two things in particular, aside from kicking skills that I hope a skills coach can teach them for next year.
Firstly, when they have a whole body to tackle, as Cripps did then, don't tackle around the neck. Secondly, when tackling, don't look at the ball in the players hands, keep your eyes on the hips. Every rugby player knows that and that is why they desperately need a rugby tackling coach to teach them that basic principle.
The fact is that players can learn, as you can see from Roccas teaching of Casboult. Levi has become a dead eye dick lately and all it has taken is employing the right bloke to do the job.
