Yeah, that was the thing, right?
But it was really interesting, more so listening to the way that they spoke about things.
And anyone in women's rugby, I guess, who has the opportunity to play against Canada, whether it's on the seven circle or the fifteens, like you said, they punch well above their weight.
They're very athletic.
They work really hard off the field to make sure that they're in the best physical shape that they're in all the time.
I remember the first time I played Canada very early on in my Black Ferns career.
their bodies were just really hard compared to some of the other opposition that we would play and the girls spoke about that during the week that that's just the makeup of the Canadian rugby players that they just work really hard, they're really physical, they're very athletic but then listening to them talk about the way that their 15s and 7s program are integrated and they basically don't have a plan, they just play to space which
which made sense to me because their coach, Kevin, is French, French-Canadian.
You're basically playing French, French style of rugby.
Just some of the words that they used around how desperate they were to work for each other, to try and get the ball back.
There was just a real desire there to put their body on the line for their teammate, which is what you saw when you watched them and when you played against them.
No.
Yeah, I just got up and told the whole team in the attack preview.
Yeah, definitely.
I told the coach straight away.
Yeah, I think one of the most noticeable changes for me, having not been a part of the team since September and then coming back in in April, was how much fitter the team was.
Not so much like across the board, right?
Not like...
your back line is probably going to be usually consistently fit the whole time.
It was more the fitness of the pack and in particular your type 5, the players who are working hard in the middle of the field to make a lot of those tackles and making a lot of those decisions around the ruck defensively.
