You're going over there a week after playing, you know, on a Saturday or Sunday, you're flying out on the Monday, sorry, on the Wednesday or the Thursday, whatever it may be.
It's just hard.
Like, you know, we talk around going to South Africa and when we were playing, being at the high valve, yes, that's really, really difficult, but sometimes you actually were able to climatise if you got your schedule right and you weren't playing in Pretoria or Joe Berger's first week playing in Cape Town, you were going to be okay in that second week.
But playing in Fiji is tough.
Like, I remember playing...
We played the Fiji team with New Zealand Maldives.
And, like, we just couldn't move.
And that's how difficult it is.
You just can't move.
You feel like you're in second gear.
You know you aren't doing things right.
You try and find solutions.
You try and get your breath back.
You try and have water to be able to try and get back to where you need to.
But it's just a difficult place to play.
And, unfortunately, the Highlanders on the weekend just were at the brunt and felt that.
And, you know.
They don't make that many mistakes, especially in the last 20 minutes with what I saw, if it wasn't for the conditions.
So no excuses, that group won't be making excuses, but it's a bloody tough place to play.
