Um their line out is excellent.
They're
probably the best in the world at the aerial contest.
Um and they make the most impact tackles.
You know, and and impact tackles lead to turnovers.
So even in that third test, you you know, they they double the amount of impact tackles and
a third of those impact tackles were resulting in turnovers, either turning the ball over, being able to play off it, or turnover resulting in a penalty.
And they also have an incredibly attritional team.
that has an ability to work their way back to the game line in attack, that other teams don't have that luxury.
Um New Zealand don't have that luxury.
We saw that in the in the in the third test.
And in particular when you lose a player like Saveya.
So for Ireland to to beat South Africa, they need to get as close to parity in in the scrum as possible.
They need to win that aerial contest.
Um and then they need to be really smart with their attack that they can lean on their short side attack where there there is vulnerabilities in in in in going back there against against South Africa.
Um but for me they they they are very much the the number one team in the world and um
Yeah, it's

That that that is one thing I will say is they they have the big bodies to be able to get back to the game line in the middle of the field.
The likes of Miafu and these kind of players
