If you've got a good driving platform, you can look penalties out of teams and control field position basically through the penalties or you can tie up opposition forwards and look for mismatches. If you had a particularly good challenging Winger and you think you've identified a week back through player for them. You can kick on to them and try and turn them over. We try and train over speed training. So we did three blocks of five minutes at overspeed where basically we don't want anyone to walk for five minutes. And so we're constantly moving we're challenging the players to think fast and swap from Attack to defense and we're putting pressure on the throw to throw the line out in like kind of stuff really just to make sure that we're making decisions faster in training than we have to and ago but the more you can create situations either through the rules you put into a small sided game or touch game the more likely you are to give those people The opportunities to test themselves in those decision making situations in Gloucester this year because we had a huge turnover and cultures.
