little walker leeward who came on the weekend to be able to go through and offload so like they can they can do multiple ways of being able to go through or around you so um that's what i would find the differences and i think for the chiefs like they'll know that for this game to have any chance or being able to put this team under pressure

that collision area close to the ruck in and around outside that pod and then outside damian mckenzie winning those collisions you know at a high rate because if you're not going to be able to do that then you're going to give the likes of this phase player attack and the eagle and the back swinging together it's just going to be a very hard night if you're going to continue to keep giving opportunities and keep giving the pitches to be able to choose where the space is

I don't think you disregard it.

I think you have a pretty clear understanding of what the week is going to look like preparation-wise.

It's just the little things like, for example, getting your tickets done early in the week.

You know you've got to be able to get all the logistical stuff done early in the week so then you can free yourself up in the back end of the week, as an example.

I think Bradshaw has actually brought up a really good point.

I was watching After Sky, the commentary around it isn't a normal game.

It is a different game.

And I think the more you do accept that and you actually walk towards it, that it is a different game.

But it's enjoying those weeks.

I found that it was actually a very, very lean week.

It was a lot based around recoveries, having more conversations around with your mini units, your team units, your teams, catching up with little coffees and being able to tick off little fine-tuning things within the detail of your game plan because...

You've done everything.

Nothing's going to change in five or six days.

But I think the more experience that you did have in finals, you just weren't overawed by the occasion.

You knew what it was going to look like.

It was more so like it was an excitement that you were in that position.

So look, I had won a few, had lost a few in Japan.

That was obviously the different part.
