Lucky enough to see it firsthand myself, an incredible experience in
Brisbane Airport.
Both teams were on the same flights flying back for a return leg of a uh a uh a four nations game and watching them interact and you saw one of the senior players, I think it was
Victor Matfield walk over to Kevin Miyalamu and they start chatting.
Next minute Skulk Berger comes over, then Liam Messon comes over, then m then all of a sudden.
Everybody from the Springboks and the All Blacks are there waiting to get on this flight, just chin wagging away.
I remember looking at Heineken, who was just sitting there with um Mr.
McDonald, the the the the manager, longtime manager of the team, and they're just sitting there smiling because they know how good this is for their team.
For the game and you kind of sit there going, Man, I wish everybody could see this because that really encapsulates what you're alluding to.
The brilliant respect, as much as we do have to go through some interesting comments that are said in press conference settings, the respect is incredibly genuine.
Yeah, and very evident.
Yeah, very evident.
Well, given as it said, I think everything was set up for South Africa.
Had the bulk of possession, had a little bit better territory.
The pace of the game definitely suited them.
I can't remember at any points.
That game going beyond seven phases, which is you know your standard metric for sort of like trying to build phases into your play.
Don't think it ever got anywhere close to 10 phases at any point.
It was a lot of sort of three, four, potentially maybe five plays.
We know exactly how South Africa want to operate.
