Shane HowarthGUEST
So- Yeah, have we gone to the hybrid loose forward who's more looking at the carry and the defense rather than looking at he's gonna go steal the ball? Richie McCaw was obviously the best-
Mark WatsonHOST

Steve HansenGUEST
Like, the way the rules are with head knocks, uh, you've only gotta go back to, to the World Cup, the last World Cup, and I think, you know, Sam Cane's incident.
Steve HansenGUEST
