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

So if you're out there, hit us up.

I think I'd be the drunkest at the table.

So I apologise for interrupting there, Bryn.

But I just wanted to, before you wax lyrically about the Hurricanes' stats, defensively the Brumbies have been very, very high 70s, accuracy all season.

So I don't think it was ever a surprise they were going to score that many points.

But for the amount of opportunities the Hurricanes gave the Brumbies, I was surprised they couldn't score more.

22 turnovers from the Hurricanes.

And look, I know you're going to beat 51 defenders, you're going to have to play expansive, but let's just not look back to the big moment and the turnovers in the last 10 minutes against the Chiefs that allowed them to gain control.

It is an area now that you have to circle in the big games.

Getting the balance between throwing that pass and not.

22 turnovers, I don't know, 45-12 can sometimes hide over that, but I don't think it will be for them analysing that game, Brent.

Just to clarify, barge is a counter-ruck just for everyone out there.

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

Yeah, so like what I loved about what, you're just talking about their kicking game, like they had zero failed exits, so they just didn't risk anything.

Aotearoa Rugby Pod

Like I talk about those 22 turnovers, that was all in their attacking half.

So just remembering though that turnover for Sinkenson's try was in their attacking half as well.

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

So what I think they did shore up is their defensive reaction to turnovers when they are.

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

So like I do think they did learn from that.

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

But I just love, like, their natural instinct is to attack.

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

But, you know, 70% of their exit was quick kicking.

And I just think there's growth and development and smarts that's building.
