TC, just in regards to some of those opportunities you potentially missed out there or you could have taken more of those, what were those?

Yeah, just my area in terms of the attacking.

We had a real plan to go through them and we're stoked with that.

Our forwards did a great job.

Just our backs at the end, inside that 22, we just didn't ice some opportunities wide.

Some of the pitches when we narrowed their defence.

So I thought we should have gone into that half time, two, three tries up.

DC, in terms of players that stood out for you that maybe came in for some special mention from the coaching group or the team themselves after the game, where did many of the plaudits fall?

How valuable is this extended period on the road together?

Yeah, the, the test schedule this year is really exciting, um, particularly as we head into, uh, British and Irish Lions last year.

Um, I think that extra time, um, girls getting used to our style as well as, as we talked about earlier, embedding, um, some of those new girls into our systems, uh, will mean when we come to the British and Irish Lions, um, we're a pretty cohesive bunch.

They, uh, know what's required to, to play Black Fern style.

How do you see the transition, uh, from Sevens to Fifteens and back again now in the women's game?

Yeah, I think it's got a lot tougher, um, because of the demands of, of both game.

Um, obviously Fifteens is a bit more tactical, um, particularly around the backfield, which is massive for Brax and her role, um, at fullback around covering kick space, um, but also looking at her picking options to put us in the right area.

Um, so that's massive.

How is it as a balancing act early in a World Cup cycle to be blooding those new players, but also wanting to get this new style of play with a different coaching group embedded? Or do they go, I suppose, hand in hand with each other?

Yeah, I think firstly, how exciting were those three girls on debut? All had great performances.

But that's something, yeah, we've discussed at length, not only around each game, but obviously looking at the campaign as a whole, just making sure we get that balance between cohesion and making sure we put the performances on when it really matters, but also giving people opportunities.

So we know that come British and Irish Lions and going into the World Cup, we've got an experienced squad there.

How do you see the transition from sevens to fifteens and back again now in the women's game?

Yeah, I think it's got a lot tougher because of the demands of both game.

Obviously, 15 is a bit more technical, particularly around the backfield, which is massive for Brax in her role at fullback around covering kick space, but also looking at her picking options to put us in the right area.

So that's massive and then also a big change around the physical demands as well.
