So I think that it could turn out to be the turning point in this current

We've already seen teams change their coaches late in the World Cup cycle.
Look at Rassi Rasmus, most famously.
Obviously, the All Blacks have done it at the moment.
But just the question you initially asked, Eddie, you know, was it...
