So he's got great basics, excellent positionally, good defender, and...

Funnily enough, as you mention about, you know, guys coming up from Christchurch, you think of, you know, who are people that bought some of those players up?

Well, it's a dude by the name of Dave Rennie.

And so, you know, you could look at that and go, he does have elements of the kind of player who I think would appeal to a Dave Rennie.

So I'm not putting it out of the realms of possibility, definitely.

But again, we get to see a lot this Friday night when they take on a team which, as you alluded to, has beaten them twice already this year.

Well, the other thing too is he's taking advantage of the opportunities because no Amoni Narawa, no Leroy Carter, no Eteni Nenai Setoro.

So they need it.

You look at the back threes that have been utilised, Hutchison, Kyron Tomofalao, Daniel Sinkinson, Liam Coombs-Fabling, and have the Chiefs lost anything in those battles?

I would argue no, they haven't.

Yeah, well, I think the Chiefs potentially have got the starting all-black locking combination because Tupovati's playing outstanding rugby as well.

You're right about Josh Lord.

It's everything.

It's the work rates, ball in hand.

It's the work rate defensively.

It's the line-out work.

It's the hit and rucks.

It's the tackling.

It's the open field play.

You know him...
