“We’re doing a lot of work and the boys are understanding their tasks and I think it’s just work, the biggest one for scrums is it’s effort and everyone, all eight have to do it I thought we were pretty good despite a couple of slip ups there, I think the scrums improving all the time and I think I just realized that last year we had the best scrum at the World Cup and this year the Drua scrum was the best in Super rugby and I think people can realize now we can actually scrum and its pleasing.”
