It's really important.
And, you know, subtle differences, like we might have, you know, the whole squad come out to captain's room tomorrow and, you know, be part of it because unfortunately, you know, fortunately, unfortunately, 23 guys,
make the squad for the weekend but there's 40 odd of us that can't in the squad so we've got to try and keep everyone included and make everyone feel valued and the toughest part about rugby is when you've got to select the team so yeah that's probably the main difference and hopefully the boys don't shoot their load too early in the week which is a big one Well you've been there before so is it hard not to take yourself to that place of the moment after the game and how all that feels?
Yeah 100% but
I guess part of it, you know, we talk about visualisation and everyone talks about, you know, manifesting good ideas in bits and pieces.
And I'm sure the Chiefs will be doing the same thing is you've got to let the process look after itself.
But you've also got to feel, you know, what it's like to be on the good side of a lot of the calls and stuff.
And then ultimately, you know, hopefully that proves useful.
you know, good thing at the back end of the game.
But it's like a roller coaster during the week.
I sit at home sometimes, I drive to work and I get real emotional and then I get real serious and then I get, you know, nervous and all that sort of stuff.

Oh, mate.
That loss still sits very deep under the skin.
And I haven't heard the end of it.
Every time I sort of talk to him, he sort of brings it up.
It's unreal and like you say, apart from the Crusaders, who probably won the most Super Rugby titles, it doesn't happen every day like I said earlier and
like to get our fans out there, like we had a massive turnout on the semifinals as well, in the rain, in the wind, in the quarterfinals, sorry.
