Bryn Hall

There is kind of attacking kicks that has been probably shown through the years, but you're not your full Gary Owen with probably the example that I used for the British National League with Bryn Gatland in it.

Yeah, 100%.

Like, Drupal and I, we know in the pre-season, like, being able to get a little bit of, you know, pre-season into it.

And then even that first game, even sometimes the second game, it's a little bit hard with the touches and the feels of getting back into it.

But, you know, like, that's, you know, you've got to give full credit to not only the players, but the coaching group and them coming in post the World Cup disappointment and, you know, being able to get three wins from three wins.

But I think at the same time, Ross, it's also for the other teams as well.

you know they've kind of come in cold so you know all the teams that are kind of playing in that conversation have relatively been in the same kind of boat with not being able to play a lot of test match footy or just rugby in general apart from probably the girls that are playing in that european league so yeah but at the same time for whitney hansen to be able to start off three for three if you talked about that with no old picky you know not been able to go into a lot of camps

to come away three from three and some pretty convincing wins especially against canada who we lost probably in the semi-final you'd be pretty happy especially with a lot of that group and being able to build depth as well which i think is a big important thing going to probably the next cycle of the world cup the other thing line speed defense that's been the other big growth yeah i've got a lot of defensive tries right picks for the week let's get into it the hurricanes versus the crusaders brinner in wellington did the crusaders have a chance

they do have a chance.

Look, I think, you know, if they're able to implement a few of the things that they were able to do on the weekend, especially the physicality, I think it's just going to be a big part of it.

And I hate to say every single week, but look, I just think with what that loose four tree has been doing, even the tight five, the Warner Dunes, your Kayla Delaney's, your Tossie's, your Amur's, even Tutupu, I thought was outstanding on the weekend.

I can see Jipper laughing there in the side eye, but yeah,

Look, I can't pick the Crusaders for this week.

If there is a storm that comes into the Caton or a hurricane, then, you know, it's a different game plan.

And that attacking, all those attacking stats that I did touch on, it'll be a very different game.

And the Crusaders, you know, are able to play that kicking and pressure cycle game.

I actually feel difficult right now.

I can't even look at myself in the camera right now.

But look, we're analysts, Jipper.

And we've touched on the hurricanes.
