You can mix it against the Australians and sometimes if you have an ordinary day, you can do okay.
But against the Springboks, you've got to nail it.
You've got to get your ball and it's got to be two hands, you know, and you've got to have a good game.
So selectors these days, and it was interesting that with the Chiefs, because when I saw the loose forward trio change, I thought, oh, this is going to be interesting.
This will be interesting.
I think the Hurricanes will have a bit of an edge.
And because I'm a bit worried about the Hurricanes, because as I say, Lakai, you know, it's bloody hard when you've got two guys that aren't really big.
Karifi and Lakai aren't really big enough to play six or eight.
They're both really a seven.
But they're good rugby players.
They're great rugby players.
And at super rugby level, which is one step down than when the box were involved, when the South African teams were involved, you can get away with it.
But you go that next step and you can't get away with it.
You get exposed.
You don't get the ball and everybody cries until Sunday morning.
Yeah, no, I did.
I mean, it's hard on TV.
I want to be at the game, I really do, and see where they are standing.
But yes, I mean, definitely, hunting and gathering is still the expression you've got to coin for an open side flanker and to a degree a number eight these days.
Hunting and gathering, it's all about the ball.
