Everything they doing was just really, really... Byron: Mm-hmm. Chad: coming off, everything was being pulled off that first half. It was tight, it wasn't, was 12, 13 at half time. But then second half was good. mean the... ⁓ Byron: Teng Shui. Caleb Clarke a different human. I don't even know if you can classify him as a human. He is insane. Chad: No. I cannot wait. The more, the closer that we get to the greatest rivalry and the more that I see the key players that we assume are going to be in the All Black squad. It's exciting. I know a couple of months ago I was like, oh no, we're going to blow them out of the water. It's going to be walk in the park. They've got no coach. They've got no this. I am. Byron: exciting. Also, Chad: I could, delete that episode. But the incident is forever. Byron: No, I'm glad it exists because then I will be right for a change. Chad: Yeah, no, it's the plays are unreal. It's good. It's going to be. Byron: Even the Australian players, I feel like the way this season of Super Rugby is gone, Australia might have a chance to be competitive in the Nations... Championship? Nations Cup? the fuck it's called. I'm also excited to see the Australian sides come together. We touched on it briefly. Reds lost to the Chiefs 31-21.

What's your opinion on him also being a utility player? Chad: 100 % when I first saw Tava Tawanawa, so he plays for the Tasman Marcos here went to my first game watched him he was on the wing and stadiums tiny so literally like on the field the bro is he's a lot shorter than all the other wings there's like Will Jordan, Maka who are all ⁓ really a little bit smaller like thinner than Tava Tawanawa. Tava Tawanawa is as wide as it is short and it's all muscle. is ⁓ Byron: They can't move him off the ball. Chad: But that's the thing, when I saw him, the first time I watched him play, he was on the wing and that's where he was playing. had number 14 on his back. And I was like, this oak should not be in here. He should be at least inside center. Cause he had to get the ball and it's like a missile. They were just went straight. And then same thing. He would make a tackle, get up, steal the ball. And it happened over and over and over again. And I was like, I don't know why this oak's on the wing. He's being wasted on the wing. Byron: Surely not. Yeah. He's crazy. is great at inside center. Chad: Absolutely. He could be an absolute fantastic... 8. Easy. Byron: Seven, six, seven, I think. Chad: I think it's a bit short for a seven or a six, but I think an 80 could do. ⁓ Byron: at eight. He's a he's a problem. He is a problem.
