I think the draw, being their last game at home and knowing that they need to be able to get this win, with the fact that they're going to be on the road for the next two weeks, they'll know how important it is.

So I'll be going for the draw.

going to the Canes with how they are.

They're the form team, along with the Chiefs, and even though the Blues will be a bit bruised and battered from the game against the Crusaders, they'll lift, but I just think the Hurricanes have a lot of firepower in a lot of areas at the moment, so I'll be picking the Hurricanes.

Yep, and I'm going to pick them this week.

I'm going to pick the force, just the fact that they are at home.

Now, I probably did a bit of Oracle work the week before with them, so hopefully I'm going to have that bit of luck that goes through and misses this week that they did on the weekend, and I'll be picking them to beat the Reds, which will then make it very, very interesting for us next week to talk about the table when it comes to the Reds and their positioning moving forward.

Yeah, I think that would probably be the most disappointing result for them through the whole year.

I think with what was on the line, and even though I picked them to go to... Sorry, I picked the draw to win, but I think with what was on the line, and considering how the competition was going with teams losing, it was a good opportunity for them to be able to try and get some points for the playoffs.

But yeah, I just think...

Just their turnovers, Ross.

I think there's a stat you're in there, 24 turnovers or 22 turnovers within our emails that we received.

But some of the... That last 20 minutes, like, I know the draw did very, very well, but, like, I think from the 52nd minute to maybe, like, the 77th minute, they were, like...

13 or 14 turnovers within that time so like yes they probably you know they got into the position where they're probably chasing the game but you know anytime you're going to have those kind of um those unforced errors you're not going to win games especially in fiji so

yeah I think it's been a little bit of an Achilles heel with them Ross I think that being in the 22 area and being able to execute you know I think when the Highlanders were going very very well you know a few years ago when they got into the 22 they were efficient and they were able to score points but unfortunately probably this year it's been an area where it hasn't been great for them and if you look on the weekend just their high turnover rate it just kind of led to the drill being able to to pick up a very good result like you know I know

they can't win away from home and even though they have been able to to break that cycle but geez you know they've got one more one at home you'd have to think they'd win that and if they can win one more game away from home you know that's a that's a great turnaround for the drawer who we probably thought at the start of the year we're going to be in this kind of position

Probably just the efficiency.

And I just think if we look at the Fiji Enduro as a perfect example, like the conditions like Ross, playing in Fiji is difficult.

Like you can't prepare for it.

You don't get the time to be able to climatise to be in Fiji.
