And both these sides are so good at identifying where the space is.

Like, okay, so they're first and second in kicks.

Now, we would not say these teams are boring to watch.

So most of those are attacking kicks or contestable kicks.

They are first and second in offloads.

because they're winning that collision with the carry, siding target, and then they're first and second in passes.

So they're moving the ball around to find that space.

I think defence wins championships, and it's the team...

that can disrupt that carry clean of the opposition.

That'll set them up because they're also big transition teams.

So they force errors defensively and that transition attack allows them to score these beautiful tries that we love to see.

So those are where they're quite similar.

And I think whoever gets the edge there will win this game.

I think there's an element of set piece edge as well.

Like I know the Chiefs are priding themselves

on being the best line out and scrum in this competition and they believe that that's a big part of how they win but you talk to Jamie McIntosh and they feel the same you know you look when they get their driving more going so again different styles in that area if I'm honest but both have had success but the Chiefs do rank significantly higher in both line out and scrum accuracy but

Stats only show half the picture there for me.

I still think this Kings pack is a legitimate force in both those.

The Hurricanes are like a team that loves chaos.

So they seem calm in chaos.
