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.
Yes.
Because once two enter, it's a maul.
So that's why when, who was it?
I can't remember.
Yeah, Amatera.
Yeah.
And then once he come in, you could hear the ref go, oh, no, it's a maul.
He fell for them.
Because all Samu had to do is he could pull it down.
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
Well, as soon as one goes wrong, the questions... It is certainly not foolproof.
It's a desperate tactic to a team that you can't defend them all, which we couldn't when we did it at the Blues, but we had weapons like Offa that could...
do it.
And I was normally the guy that would shoot around.
So like, and that's the easiest role.
