We saw it with Leicester, you know, where he wasn't really number seven.
matched
He was Leicester playing in their jersey.

And, you know, well, we see that same thing with Duplicy Karifi, where they're like, we're

You're not a 12.
matched
We're not going to ask you to play the role of the 12.

His stats for his ball carriers, his rucks hit, all of those kind of things.
matched
His dominant tackles were the best in the competition per minute played.
matched
Yeah.
