Hey,
"Through the All Blacks' rotation policy we have been playing other players and we didn't go to News in respect to that. We take the view it's not a dissimilar exercise."
News Ltd, clearly, disagrees."
A lot of the media reporting about the chopping and changing of the ABs side is so that Graham Henry and his coaching team have 2 class players in each position. If that actually worked as planned how many players would they want to protect before the WRC? 30? In a hypothetical situation does NZ rugby have that much depth that they could take 30 class players out of the S14 (maybe for half of it) and get good results on the park?
I've downloaded some of the Air NZ cup games and some of those teams have some class players but I've also noticed that they field some foreigners as well, such as Ben Gollings, Peter Playford, so-and-so Boss , the Argentine FBack, probably a few more cos I havent seen all Air NZ cup games.
Whats the gap of time between the end of the S14 and the WRC?
cheers
