I've worked on it with a few other boys as well, with Sam Derry and a few other boys, just making sure that we get over the gain line, whether it's with footwork or, again, seeing pictures and taking the space at the end of the day.
And then the finesse skills is, again, I think you read defenders' body shapes and you see what they're doing and then you make a decision based off that.
So, yeah, I think, again, it's just comfortable being out there and backing yourself.
I think the time off after last year helped a lot during that.
I remember coming back from Germany because I had a big seven-week break between NPC and the start of Super OP pre-season.
The time off in Germany really helped me because it wasn't so much the gym work that I was doing over there, but I think just giving my body enough time to fully reset and get back to 100% was huge for me.
And a huge learning that I took out of that is that
how important recovery really is, both physically and mentally, because when I came back into the Super Rugby environment, I didn't just feel physically refreshed, I felt mentally refreshed as well and looking forward to playing rugby again and playing rugby with the boys.
That was big for me.
But then I also think some of it plays into just naturally the age that I'm at now.
I think, yeah, I'm 24 now.
So I think as that sort of time you make one last big push and your body fills out naturally a bit more.
And I've definitely felt that over the last year or so.
yeah it goes back to your point ross around game time the more the more you play at a certain at a certain body weight or a certain shape or whatever it is the more your body gets used to it um and then you know how to use that weights too so yeah now it's with the big minutes and stuff uh it's about making sure that that weight stays on because yeah i'm sort of reaping the rewards around being a bit heavier
And yeah, my focus now is making sure that I keep the weight on so that it doesn't go with all the minutes and all the exercise.
100%.
And the big one is the initial impact you get.
Yeah, you just feel like you've got a bit more momentum going into it.
And it almost takes less effort to be dominant just because you've got that natural size.
So
