never worry never worry like how good is that to have that reassurance have that trust from an 18 year old that's playing fullback yeah and so she's only going to grow in that ability at sevens she's only going to enhance her skill set her natural skill set that she already has she's only going to become more professional in her habits and her knowledge as well and she's going to bring that back to play for a jersey that she loves

for a region that means something to her and her family.

So we'll unlock a different side of Braxton again as a, what, 19-year-old?

Braxton's.

Yeah.

That's a good question.

To be interesting to see where she plays, I think Willy and Carlos actually got a lot of headaches to try and figure out around how they're going to fit everyone onto the field.

Because she offers so much at fullback and at wing as well, so it kind of depends on who you really want to play in those positions.

I think a massive growth area for Brax is, and the challenge will be, how does she continue to play with the same energy, the same standards?

Since the last time she played 15s, which was in September, having played so much 7s.

Usually when the 7 skills come back into 15s, you know, there's less space, there's less time and there's more people.

You usually see things like they'll pass the ball far away from defenders because they can do that in 7s, which you can't really do in 15s.

So just like some of their more tight, like real, like nitty gritty skill set stuff, you know, that you have to do in 15s, you don't really have to do in 7s.

how fast she can adapt to that, how fast they can adapt their thinking and their speed of thought to the pictures that they're going to see because they haven't seen them for a while.

That's not to say that she won't.

It's just to say that how fast can they do that because they'll be going from basically their seven seasons straight into 15.

So there won't be a lot of time for them.

So yeah, that'll be the challenge there, I think.

But I think it's a challenge that will be very difficult for her
