And for su yeah
You play World Cup Finals, fantastic.
That does give you mentally
an idea of the sort of pressure you're gonna come against.
The th it also lets you remember physically how tough that was.
And a am I ready for it?
You don't know until you take that first hit and that first couple of minutes of a test match against the All Blacks.
The their their backroom team is as good as it gets and they will be analysing every aspect of your play, what they will have recognised is that this is a really good all black scrum.
It's a it's a useful line out as well.
It can produce some trick plays, and I think you will be seeing that in the first test, because you're gonna have to produce something which which which catches the spingball south and makes them start thinking, you know, what's coming next.
But the fact is, you know, their driving mall is something that I am concerned that the all blacks are gonna be able to handle.
Because there have been at times where the opposition have been able to get together and show and we know we s we saw against Scotland there were some very good examples of o of the way that they can drive them all.
And that is a way of sucking in your defence and a and getting you tighter than you want to be when facing this this South African team.
And
They will squeeze you and you know, the forwards will come at you in their in their three three man pods.
The first man will k the ball carrier will will will slam into you and the next two huge guys coming after you will blast anybody yeah within a mile radius of that breakdown and that is physically demanding for any defence and it's gonna come at you relentlessly.
And this is why I think that the fact that you have played the three matches
And players like Tua Peluto have stood up in i in each of the games he's played and yeah, he is that dogged old forward, you know yeah, there's nothing he's not seen before.
And you're gonna need people like him in the trenches on Saturday because the South Africans are gonna be revved up
uh led by Jasper Visa who I've got a lot of time for as a as a ball carrying forward, who is just horrible to play against.
