If it's 24-21,

and there's 18 minutes left to go, you can automatically feel that the crowd starts to disappear.

They start to go, here we go again.

And there's no doubt that that's what knockout rugby does.

You've seen it in all these games, Bernard, you've played in them.

The one way you've got to get the home crowd is you've got to take them out of the game as quickly as possible.

Those would be the messages I spoke.

And obviously others.

I mean, we play to our strengths and make sure that we believe the things that we work for us work.

And, you know, one self-explanatory is you're only going to get X amount of chances.

Make sure you use as many as you can.

You can't let them slip out of your hands.

So if you get a five-meter scrum, five-meter line-up, just make sure you call the right play.

Make sure that you understand and you give it a full go.

You know, the interesting thing, Bernard, you would know as well, that altitude is one of those, you either go seven or eight days before, either way, or you go the day before.

So some teams that used to come and play in South Africa, they used to spend the whole time in Cape Town or Durban and literally on the day before the game, come and do the captain's run and play.

Because then it doesn't... They say if you do it more than that, in those you come in the middle of the week, it actually hits you.

Look, I don't think going to sea level hits the players as hard as it does for those sides to come to altitude.

So that's one area.

But I would have said that the first prize would have been, I mean, if I'd been coaching, I probably would have done what I did last year.
