I couldn't even give you a number, to be honest with you.
Well, I feel like any test match you do be blowing.
I think Ed and Emma had done a class job in getting me back to where I needed to be to be a test athlete.
And they had done incredible work with me to make sure that I was okay and I would be able for it.
And they gave me some different pointers and different bits of advice with it.
But...
yeah like I think I was ready for that game like I yeah I didn't doubt my body to be fair probably two weeks earlier three weeks earlier if I was to play that that first round against like the first rounds first Japan and Spain like I probably would have questioned if I was playing those because
First game I watched, even though I'd been watching training, it was very much a reality check of, right, people are going to have to hit my knee in a few weeks and I am going to have to go around rucks, which is how I hurt it.
And I am going to have to do these kind of movements that put a lot of stress on a place that I've just had cut open.
Yeah.
But then I went home and I'm a bit of a nerd, so I just watched more footage and watched bits and learned more and kind of went back to what I know best.
And that's how I prepare for games.
And yeah, I think, like I said, because I've had so many injuries, I know how to get myself right to be able to be a test athlete when it comes to the arena.
I don't think there's any point in adapting, is there?
Like, because I think if an injury happens, it happens.
Like, you can't control whatever happens in a game.
There's no point.
Not really.
Like, yeah, well, like, there's probably bits and pieces, like whether it's, I don't know, like I tore a hamstring in a ruck before when I was Jacqueline and
Hugh Hogan, when we had him, he was very big on pointing your toes out because it's a way of, I suppose, putting less stress on your hamstrings if something was to happen or you could just bail out of it if you did feel that it wasn't going right.
