Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

Now, not everyone's off a Tonga Fasi.

I'm not putting my hand up for that role.

Like you're getting eight bodies on top of you, you know, and you have to have a bit of mass.

So what Pete Samu was trying to do is basically once they move that meter, he's coming around and he, because the ball's in the back, he can grab and tackle that player.

Now, it's not a tackle if it's with two.

Fainga’anuku at 7? Hype or Hit? Could the All Blacks follow the Boks blueprint?

and that because it's a tackle so the fact that once there's two that move out it's all over red rover so you have to be quite disciplined because it is the most nerve-wracking thing when you're the guys that have to part like the red sea and then you're just seeing this thing go and you're thinking like even if i put a hand out and touched it yeah you know like just out of panic yeah
