Coming to you from rugby's greatest fortress, New Zealand's national stadium, Eden Park, is the Aotearoa Rugby Park. Kia ora and welcome to another episode of Aotearoa Rugby Pod. So much to talk about this week. We've had some stellar performances from the likes of Tava Tava Nawai and Josh Morby and some conversation about where they sit in the bigger scheme of things. Obviously the Reds fans are a little salty about some calls against the Chiefs. Them salty fans across the board, under-20s. there was a big call in there as well and then we're shaping up with three weeks ago in the round robin of what this top six is going to look like so plenty to chat about there and look at the run-in for every single team later on this week we've got black ferns captain to talk about her experiences over in the uk and now under whitney hansen before coming back to oh picky and also
We'll get into this under-20s big time after seeing the New Zealanders and the South Africans draw 29-0.

James Parsons, big talking point over the next couple of weeks is going to be where these teams fit, who get the home semi-finals, the Blues versus the Crusaders.
How did you feel the Blues are sitting after that loss?
I was big on hoping that all the baggage was left at the old ground, but no, it's certainly travelled.
What are the standout performances in the All Blacks midfield?
It's travelled very well. The Crusaders were just a much more desperate outfit and probably, I think more importantly, their attacking structures allowed them to create a lot more.
And looking at our local red and black alumni, Bryn Hall, smiling a little bit more this week, Brynner.
Yeah, definitely. I think the intensity of what kind of, I guess, what was on the line for the Crusaders considering a pretty disappointing loss last week. And I think, you know, if we probably go into a little bit now, I think the biggest area that I think with the Crusaders in their season, and David Havili talked around it post-match, was around their turnover rate. And if you look on the weekend, they had 13 turnovers. Their discipline was really good with only six penalties lost. the whole game and one big thing Jipper that I did enjoy seeing was the 94% tackle percentage and the dominance in and around that with 13 winning that collision battle with the Blues. So yeah those kind of areas I think throughout the year has been a bit of a kryptonite but they kind of got all those areas really nicely on the weekend and led to the big part of getting that result against the Blues down south.
94% was because there wasn't a lot of deception from what you'd seen the week before against the Reds and almost played within themselves. The old idea of probably playing the Crusaders and getting the ball down there didn't quite suit under the roof and sort of backfired on them a little bit. They scored some long-range tries to keep themselves in the game, but nothing sort of was created in terms of that manipulation of the defence where they could sort of puppeteer it.
I think their pass ratio was 0.82 right so I think they probably had a mindset jipper of being able to maybe just go through the front door with the Crusaders and I think throughout the year sometimes when the Crusaders have lost their battle it then does open up I guess around the attacking structures of what we've probably seen with the Blues right, I think throughout the year the evolution of their game and how they do attack so you know you do have a look at that collision area I think That was a big part of maybe stunting that ability to be able to get around the Crusaders but yeah I think just very, not predictable but they probably had a mindset I think trying to go through the front door and I guess with those stats that I touched on around the Crusaders being operated at 94%, being a lot more dominant in those tackles even though it is a little bit easier being tighter and not a lot of animation and variety but it seemed like it must have been a plough dripper, like they were very very tight in their carries.
