I think if you're looking at it from above in the Japanese, people making the decisions, it's probably just not a good look when you've got that many foreigners that are playing.

So I think that is one of the reasons why they are doing it.

It's about promoting Japanese players to be able to play.

And I think for the international level as well, it's about getting more players that are playing in that position as well.

Well, the Japan Top League are different to Japan Rugby.

So they're separate entities.

They're not doing it together.

So I think this is Japan Rugby decision.

I'm not too sure.

We're not in those kind of conversations.

But yeah, the Japan Top League and Japan Rugby are separate.

They don't work together.

So yeah, it's been a big thing over here and players have been speaking out about it, but

Yeah, you can see both sides of what they're wanting, but yeah, it's more so just to be able to see some more Japanese players that have been able to play and get them in the Japanese international team as well.

Well, that's the biggest part that has impressed me about the Hurricanes.

They score a lot of points, but they all have that synergy of being able to see the space and being able to commit to what that call was.

So you're right, Cam Rory Guard's seen that space, but Yorsa has been able to see that space collectively with them.

And the trip and chase is obviously a skill set that not many loose forwards do have.

what i do enjoy around this performance from the hurricanes especially is that you know you look in that probably first 30 minutes it was a massive part around territory and the kicking game i think both teams were kicked out 30 odd kicks within the first 40 minutes and there was a real pressure cycle field that the crusaders wanted to implement into the into the hurricanes and i thought the hurricanes passed that test around just staying real disciplined and real patient within that

And then what they do, have done this whole year, the 35th and the 38th minute, score 14 points in three minutes.
