I think that's his point, Dave Rennie, in that, you know, when you look at... I know he's picking on Super Rugby form, and he made this point right at the very start, didn't he?

But at the same time, as you said, there were 44 or 45 players used last year.

You can't go into those first three tests of the year and go, OK, let's wipe the slate clean from all the guys that played last year, even though...

You've got valid questions about some of them, their form and what they contributed, especially in those three losses.

You call it niggly, you call it abrasive.

And he mentioned, and the word he mentioned, Jamie, was brutality, didn't he?

So that kind of triggers all kinds of thoughts, Mark, about that loose forward trio.
