Not sure what the problem is or what has changed?
Think this is perhaps where CDP is being missed he did a lot of ruck clearing. Mata on the other hand is often at the bottom of the ruck as he appears to make every second carry, I think it was 26 or something on Friday.

Mata made 28 carries, which is the most Opta have recorded in a Pro 14 match since 2010/11
