ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

I think he'd be in that squad for sure.

And I feel like with Tate McDermott going, and you know sometimes when there is an injury for a long period of time and you are the guy, you get all the reps, you're able to be able to feel confident, you know what, I don't actually have to worry about paying 20 minutes here, 30 minutes here and being able to overplay my hand with what he's probably done over the last couple of years.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

Because he is a competitor and wants to be able to start probably, but I think with Tate McDermott going down and him actually being the guy, we've seen the best version of him because it just seems like he's a...

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

He's got a good flow state and he's been able to just play and it just seems like the team is really rallying behind the way that his instinctiveness and the way that he is playing and his maturity has been a big part of his performances, I think, as well.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

I hope I'm in flow state in about two and a half hours, boys.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

That's what I'm hoping.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

This is your primer.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

And a bit of Cam Warrigard.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

and and and the focus comes into just executing your role for the legacy of that jersey and he has that mana but have you leaned much into the sports like stuff and how's it helped you definitely not with obviously with gilbert and okay didn't have the opportunity to be able to spend a lot of time with him but yeah definitely around the mental skills and probably to bring back to your point job i think

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

you know even being on the bench when you were on the bench you you were able to implement those kind of mental skills around like our situations in game so you'd be you'd be together so nines tens and midfielders would be more so on the bench because we're working together you lose forwards and your tighties we're all kind of together talking around situations in the game what would be happening here what's the worst case example how would you feel and around that and being able to implement those kind of mental skills and i think on a on a personal base as well

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

been able to in pressure situations having tools to be able to go to go to and being able to train and not just in games but whether that's in trainings whether it's in the classroom whether it's even in life as well trying to implement the tools that you've been given around high pressure situations so that's a massive work in and around that now john quinn was more so my kind of person that i did use when i was at the crusaders he's a who's a big part of being able to be a resource of the crusaders and it actually does come over here with kibota

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

to be able to upscale it to that space.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

So yeah, I found it massively beneficial.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

Like, don't get me wrong, SNC, being fit, strong is really important.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

But I think in big games, as you know, Jipper, the mental side of it is probably the most important thing to be able to keep cool, calm, process driven, and being able to execute under pressure and not feeling frantic.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
ABs Selection Heats Up: Halfbacks, Centres & Locks Under the Microscope

Because, you know, there's going to be a lot of times where you'll make mistakes in trainings or in games and, you know, that kind of going in the redhead and

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

not being able to think cognitively.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

If you can be able to bring yourself back within one mistake and not continue that snowball effect,
