And, you know, look, there'll be frustrations around that for sure.

But focusing on like the box kicking game, we actually were getting it there accurate.

Look, we're also measuring one game and specifically the first half, nine instances.

It's not a massive test pool.

It's not like this is something that we can still correct and get on top of for the remainder of the competition.

Oh, yeah.

I've kind of covered it there.

It just...

detail that that that the english guys talk about it you know what foot are you jumping off what angle are you landing on um are you slapping it back to the left to the right are you dominating the aerial space that you know understanding the length of the kick is a big one because if the kick is a fraction too long maybe it's best off not competing because that's when your risk of yellow and red cards because of the collisions in the in the air

Ensuring that you're dominating the space, catching the ball or tapping the ball back at the apex of your jump.

You'll hear these guys talking about hang time in the air.

gravity's gravity, but that's part of the art form.

So, yeah, it's just, it's a huge part of the game and it's what it provides you with off the back of winning or losing the ball.

down on the right side that's typically the better side for us to go down because it's a better angle for the nine to box kick off and he's not the tallest of guys or the biggest of frame but what he does have is a phenomenal spring his timing up with the ball the angle that he catches it at and he's just a phenomenal rugby player

No, it's not.

And the other side of it is it's a closed skill as well.

Like you don't have to practice your passing as a team.

You can also practice it before and after training in and around gym sessions.

That was one thing that Joe Schmidt just drove till the cows come home.

You know, the best coaches are doing it.
