## Resource

What does a professional rugby team actually look like from the inside?MW spent a week embedded with the Bulls. Harry did the same with the Stormers. Not from the outside. Inside the week, inside the meetings, inside the environment. This episode works through what that access revealed.Some things look familiar. The structure, the preparation, the level of detail. You begin to see why top teams operate the way they do.But then the differences start to show. In how people interact. In how decisions are made. In how the environment feels day to day.The Bulls and the Stormers are similar in what they are trying to achieve. They are not the same in how they go about it.That tension sits at the centre of this conversation.
