And so it does take time.
So we've got to get those things right in the right balance.
But world rugby have been great.
You know, there's no doubt that some nations that dominate certain aspects of the game want those aspects of the game protected at all costs.
And that's fair enough.
I guess our kind of rhetoric and our push is regardless of what, you know, your national team looks like at this point in time, we can all learn lots from fans and we're willing to try some things down here in super rugby and all of the leagues in the world can benefit from that learning.
They don't have to adopt what we've done, but they can learn from it if they like.
And, you know, that's our kind of our position to world rugby and to the other leagues.
If a coach and a club wanted to play a certain way, you beauty, you know, we want all styles of how you play this great game and how you compete in that contest.
We're not removing contests.
I think there is, there's obviously some, some differences.
I mean, we we're playing in start in mid February.
It's hot in the grounds are hard.
They're dry, you know, so there's a lot of environmental conditions.
There's also the fact that we are in the Pacific and we've grown up playing the game in a certain way.
Right.
So, you know, I think we've got to remember that there are those differences to the environment and culturally how the game's been played historically in our part of the world versus up north.
But, you know, we want different styles playing.
We don't want 11 teams playing all the same style.
And I don't think we've got that.
