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 drill 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 if some of the that last 20 minutes like i know the drawer 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 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 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 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 drew 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.

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.

And

it's just hard like you know we talk around going to south africa when we were playing the being of the high valve yes that's really really difficult but sometimes you actually were able to climatize if you got your schedule right and you weren't playing in pitori or drove a good first week playing in cape town you're going to be okay in that second week but playing in fiji is is tough i like i remember playing

We played the Fiji team when I was with the New Zealand Maldives.

And like, we just couldn't move.
