Such a load of pish.
We're trying to hide Burns in defence by moving him out of 10 channel when possible and he still misses a load of them.
He doesn't lead an aggressive defensive line, and still misses a load of them.
He doesn't seek to make dominant hits high up, but still misses a load of them.
What on earth fkking system is there that we are using that is painting Billy Burns inability to make a tackle in a good light?
Oh dear
who pished in your cornflakes!
Do enlighten me then to the defensive system we are playing Amigo?
I'll help you..... but just a little, I'm sure you will agree Burns is playing the same defensive system that Addison and Stockdale are playing?
According to the stats
Stockdale
Versus Racing made 5 tackles and had 6 missed tackles
Versus Leicester made 1 tackle and had 3 missed tackles
Addison
Versus Racing made 10 tackles and had 5 missed tackles
Versus Leicester made 5 tackles and had 3 missed tackles

Stockdale out!
Addison out!
Burns was moved out of the ten channel for the last half of the game because he was clearly injured and we had made all of our back substitutions. He has been playing on one leg for a month.
Do I think Burns is Dan Carter no, does Burns think he is Dan Carter no..... but lets be honest we have witnessed two decent tens in the last twenty years play for Ulster.... and a few capable of turning it on but not consistently.
