I have really enjoyed Super Rugby over the last three years, to be fair.
I think the standard of rugby across all of it has been very good.
I think obviously there's still that New Zealand interest around our own derbies.
They're very high quality matches.
I do subscribe to a little bit around the competition is missing the difference that South African teams bring around the DNA in which they play the game.
Um, obviously Australia, New Zealand is relatively similar in how we approach the game and how we like to play and enjoy it.
Um, but as a spectacle and what we're trying to do, um, very good at times, I do find I'm going to be controversial here a little, a little bit boring.
Um, I think, uh, rugby's got a little bit more mechanical.
And so I enjoy watching teams that are playing more unstructured rugby within a structured sort of framework.
You know, I look to the Chiefs, I look to the Hurricanes.
They're playing what I'd consider good rugby to watch.
I find myself watching a lot more top 14 and the European Cup stuff.
I really enjoyed this year's Six Nations.
Yeah, man.
That was quality rugby.
And I think...
Yeah, a lot of that comes down to the attitude of the coach and how they set their teams up.
But overall, it's a really nice competition and one that I've been following.
No, absolutely.
And I think you hit it on the head.
