Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

And, like, he actually wasn't at fault, obviously, with what happened in the last couple of minutes.

But, yeah, I think any time anybody that's not a halfback, you get a really good understanding of how difficult it is.

Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

It is a little bit niggly, the idiosyncrasies, I guess, of halfback play.

But, look, you've got to credit the red stripper, I think, as well.

Like...

So you're pointing around the Blues attack, like that first half you talk around like Zahn Sullivan's ability to be able to get the zero ball from Sam Dowery, who I thought Sam Dowery in the first two tries, his involvement in that, even the big bridge pass to be able to score for Forbes' try.

30 metre on the run, straight off Cade Banks to be able to get that contestable kick off the contestable from Bodie.

Like, that was awesome.

And then I think you look at Zan Sullivan's third try, pretty much every team runs that shape with hitting the 12 out the back.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

But you look at Zan Sullivan, and even though Dan Gurnu's man are kind of on his outside, he punches that line and he's a hard man to stop.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

So he's one guy that I think is in a rich reign of form with how Zan Sullivan is playing.

But I think, you know,

Looking at 35-21 with maybe 74 minutes on the 74th minute, you know, I think there was one game this year, Jip, where I can't remember what game it was, but very similar where they kind of let the team back in the game.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

They had such a good performance for 60, 65 minutes and then they let the other team back in.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

I can't remember what it was, but...

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

Yeah, the Highlanders, sorry.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

Yeah, so I think maybe that last 15 or even the last 10, last five minutes when the game's in the balance chip, it's maybe a little bit of a work on for this Blues group to be able to not make it so difficult because they played such good footy for long periods of time.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod
Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

So, you know, I looked at that game, 35-21, 74th minute, I was like, that's a great result against a tough Reds team.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

And you'd be thinking as a coaching group and as players, we've done really, really well here.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

The first half with how the backs played, been able to score tries off that.
