put them under so much pressure.
What got them out of that hole was their short side attack was excellent.
And there was eight occasions during that third test where their short side attack gets them back over the game line and in certain instances significantly over the game line.
Um the key guy who runs that for them is is is Roygaard.
Um and he's he's a quality quality operator, one of the best scrum halves in
in the world.
He's up there with with DePon and and um and Gibson Park.
Um
So like I'm I'm kind of getting there with there is a blueprint to beats at Africa.
Um I think the other big one which I'll which I'll dive into, the other big one that we've seen from the three tests is the importance of that aerial contest.
Um and there we've spoken about it at length in this podcast, but it's a team's ability to get the ball airily, accurately, to give your
oncoming players the opportunity to get up and compete.
I was doing my own stats on it for the third test.
In my book, there were 15 genuine um competitions for the ball where the team is trying to create an aerial contest.
Now sometimes the kick doesn't allow the player to get up and compete, but there's other options around it.
New Zealand had eight.
They won back four.
They lost four
But of the four that they lost, two of them were significant dominant tackles.
So the players catching the ball uncontested but getting whacked.
