We need to find a loose forward trio and an impact player and kind of stick to them and give them defined roles.
Like those Hurricanes and Chiefs.
AFL is, but it's a different ball, isn't it?
Yeah, but I also heard that now halfbacks are so good at box kicking that they kick under the ball and give it extra revolution, so it's absolutely fizzing through the air.
You try and catch that on a wet night using AFL style...
You're probably going to cop it in the channel.
I'd like to see Corey Jane in there.
I was just going to say, yeah.
He's a guy who caught every highball at the 2011 World Cup.
He knows how to do it.
He's been in the Hurricanes coaching team for ages.
Why not get him in one day a week?
No, I guess we're not playing those South African teams still, so we're not getting any new styles of rugby.
We're just playing against each other in our own style, so that's the only thing I see different, because France do play their style, and it's total rugby, isn't it?
They're just so skillful and big.
So are the South Africans now, yeah.
Yeah, they're South Africa-esque, so nothing can really prepare you for that except for playing against that style, but this is the best we've got, absolutely, yeah.
Yes.
Very interesting.
Absolutely.
