Yeah. voice-verified

Um, just in in terms of the refereeing, obviously there's been a lot of discussion. voice-verified

Really don't want to go into it in in any depth 'cause I think enough's already been said. voice-verified

I think what you say about the grey areas, now look when it was you think back to uh some of the battles when Richie McCaw and George Smith and David Pocock were doing their thing, I think their great strength was that they were able to work out very quickly what the parameters were, what was going to be allowed, what wasn't voice-verified

wasn't going to be allowed. voice-verified

And I think that's just something that the Springboks do. voice-verified

I mean it's just it's it's smart. voice-verified

Have the balance of power, they have the influence. voice-verified

Super rugby has gone. voice-verified
