They've got a good drive and more.

Whereas the Canes have the least amount of penalties.

They're decision-making in that red zone.

They're decision-making...

in and around the breakdown, when to have a hunt, when not to have a hunt, is really clinical.

So they're not going to think the Crusaders had 11 or 12 penalties.

I'm not sure that either side, the Blues had about 14 as well, and both Canes and Chiefs, very disciplined around four or five.

I'm not sure, like...

The opportunities are going to be so much less for both.

You think about when they played in Hamilton, Golden Point, it is going to come down to the finest margins because neither side is going to present you with all these opportunities that they've had to score all these points in the previous week.

Yeah, and the Chiefs do have a... They like to manipulate the backfield, so they want to put you in a position where that winger comes up and the pendulum can be late and they can play... Because they want to squeeze you, they want to put you down there.

And that is probably one of the biggest battles that we're going to see is...

Chiefs kicking game, like territory-based kicking game, versus the Hurricanes counter-attack.

And how do they put, I suppose, Morby and Finianganofo and Harkin in bad positions where they can sort of swarm and suffocate them?

Or, you know, are the kicks not as accurate and it gives them a chance to counter-attack?

I think they've got the ability to cross-field kick and that may be a double bluff.

you know, like Taumoiwha on that, we know that they can go, you know, extremely well in the air.

So that battle and that manipulation of backfield and the strength of the Chiefs kicking game will be extremely

interesting in the sense that do you keep doing what has worked well and back yourself or is there an element like oh this is not a team we can get a you can still a bad kicks as good as you kick chase but i just don't think you get the hurricanes that's quite true like they can they can rip you up um pretty quickly so it will that'll be the tactical

Now, most people would say less is more at this time of year and keep doing what we're doing and back it.
