And the fact that they, fatigue wise, coming down here, we're going to play with a lot of ball in hand.

You know, we're going to test them in terms of their fatigue and their fitness.

But, um,

I'm very very interested though I think with the French that they do kick territory a lot whether that was with the Pont in Tomek or Jalibert whatever it may be to be able to force pressure and been able to defend well but if you do look at the Six Nations their defense was very very poor you know they gave away 50 points against Scotland and 46 points against England that last game so

Are they going to be able to try and kick long to be able to give our guys opportunities to be able to try and counter attack?

Because we've seen and we've heard from Dave Rennie and Mike Blair that we want to be able to hold on to the ball and do an unstructured attack off that.

So just be very interested to see how that's all going to happen for the French, especially being a closed roof in cross-stitch as well.

Their attack has evolved.

If you look at the Six Nations, I think they were the best in terms of broken play and turnover ball, scoring 30 tries.

They want to have that ability to be able to hold on to the ball, have chaos and be able to use that French flair that they do have.

So I guess the challenge is coming to Christchurch is the first time together.

It's not their full strength team, but at the same time, like an underdog French team with nothing to lose, probably one team you don't want to play.

Do you know what I mean?

Everything's to lose for the All Blacks.

Expectation is they really is going to come in.

We're going to see an attacking brand of rugby.

We're going to see a lot of high scoring points and hopefully a bit of a hurricane sprinkled into the watching it very, very well.

But, you know, at the same time, it's international rugby.

you better be ready to kick chase because a kick is only as good as it's chase and if you leave holes this this all black side will all take it they might actually just go to a contestable game do you know what i mean mixing it up i know they do like to be able to kick long but i think to your point and even brad said as well like if you're going to give the likes of whoever's going to be selected fingering off or morby okay clark lee roikata will jordan damien whoever it may be like

it's gonna be hard to be able to continue to defend that but if you go the aerial bombs and if you do look at last year it was a bit of a kryptonite for the for the all blacks not being able to win the high ball gets in the air so i definitely could see maybe a more balanced play around contestable games and attacking kicks mixed in with long play in that game
