We, you know, all just commit to whatever, you know, the game drivers or whoever's on the ball decides to do.

go with so I think that's an area that we've been really good at is trusting each other and backing the boys and you know as you said playing with instinct and and yeah just fully committing to it.

you know, a testament to the work that we've done starting in November last year, you know, throughout the preseason.

You know, they've put in structures and, I guess, the system that has allowed us to play like that.

And, you know, obviously all the boys have bought into it and, you know, everyone sort of has an understanding of that as a full collective.

And I think that's why, you know, we're able to jump in and out of it

Siege is a very detailed, you know, he puts a lot of work into our defense.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

And it's pretty similar to our attack around, you know, we've got our structures in place and we've all committed to it.

A lot of talk around defense wins championships.

And, you know, for the most part of the season, we've actually been pretty good.

And, you know, we try and match teams physically, but we try and give them, you know, the spots that we train all week to make it hard for them.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

for the attack, so previewing teams, he's awesome at that, and fine-tuning our own structure, so it doesn't really matter what teams bring, we're in a spot where we can solve their attack and stop it.

off sides and you know little penalties like that where a controllable thing you know just you know take the extra step or whatever that is you know it's an it's an important part of our defense and then same thing he's given us the license to have a crack at the ball when when you think there's an opportunity and you know we're never always going to get it right so there's going to be penalties there but as long as um you know it's the right decision there's a opportunity to get it back if you do get a bit wrong we'll you know go and back our defense in a different area of the field

There is a lot of talk on the run that's, you know, boys, you know, tired at times.

So, yeah, whether that's from outside and taking a step if we see people, you know, pushing the limit or, you know, backing people to go for the ball.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

you know, the opportunity presents or a barge opportunity, whatever it may be.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

And same thing as our attack and nothing else around the whole game is we back each other and, you know, we just commit to it.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Billy Proctor interview: Why the Canes Are On Fire πŸ”₯πŸŒͺ️

Yeah, a lot of it's around probably setting up
