We want more contests and things like, you know, even the, the getting out of the channel for the, for the kickers, you know, we're seeing an aerial contest a lot more than we did before.

So, um,

We're all for contest.

We want more contest and we want more contest to just happen quicker with a flow of the game that is quicker.

So, yeah, I mean, I'm really thrilled with where it's at.

And just on the quick tap ones, we know from fan research that the highest high moments that gets people's brains getting triggered and getting excited is tries.

The second one is quick taps.

because of that risk-reward of a quick tap as a halfback, has he blown an opportunity to take three or whatever that might be?

So, you know, we've gone this year off the back of that rule.

Our free kicks have gone up 2.9 last season to 5.8 this year.

But it hasn't come at the expense of number of scrums or number of line outs, which we think is a really, really great thing.

You know, the free kick around scrum time is tough, you know, I get that and, you know, we'll continue to look at that and think about that.

When we're now at sort of 89 minute match duration, we got ball in play getting up towards sort of 40 minutes.

You know, I think what we're going to do is get to a stage where we're redlining the players so much that we're actually, you know, increasing error rate, which then will give us

will give us more more static time as as we then go to stat so i think we are getting close to reading that reaching that net that sort of that point that red line point um you know i still i still get frustrated sometimes there's still a couple of seconds here and there with a

with a TMI review or let's get that scrum going or, but I think we are kind of reaching that.

So, you know, we are, we do have to think about, you know, what else around it, as you say, in stadium.

But I do also think we can look at innovation that's not necessarily law-based that, that might, you know, might help us continue to, to grow that, that excitement.

And, and, you know, you know, I'd be, I mean, I'm, I know your DMs guys get, get full of, of great ideas and,

you know i'd be really interested to hear you know what things we could we could add to arsenal there's there's things like um you know could you have a power play like you have in t20 to use your reference jib to go actually off this set piece we're going to double down and it's it's more points right now i know the traditionalists of rugby will go oh my god this bloke is a moron what is he talking about
