But because it was given to the nine...

been able to get that ball out.

Like I said to you, the backs were on backs and they were able to have an opportunity to be able to manipulate Davis and Dallas, which was probably one of the reasons why, well, that is the reason why they scored.

So, yeah, they just manipulated the defence through some really good prep.

The Fords did their job early part of that game to be able to think the Crusaders are going to have to be really tight and then they were able to pull the trigger and Quintipai go untouched.

You kind of have your two, three phase strike.

Like I think whether it's a special, whether it's just a line out, obviously it's pretty important.

You want to be able to try and manipulate the area of the field in the line out to be able to dictate how you want to attack.

But yeah, you look at the Hurricanes, even the Chiefs in their years, the first three phase strikes have been probably the best part around their attack.

Yeah, I think that's probably what happens after that.

And I think if you are able to, I guess, win the collision in those first three to four strikes, you give yourself a really good chance to be able to break open teams.

So we've seen that with, especially with the New Zealand teams, the Hurricanes for the most of the year.

But I know the Chiefs, when they have Damian McKenzie, they've had some, I guess, some adjustments in their attack, being able to get the ball where they want to.

But yeah, keep it simple.

That's probably the best way to put it.

And when teams do that very, very well, you're able to probably score points off that.

Well, you think about how well Dalton Papali'i was playing and then Anton Seckner moving into that seven jersey.

He really has helped shore up that gap.

He's been tremendous.

And it's always a fascinating question, this one, because it's just a position, the loose forward positions.
