New zealand rugby is really setting up a world cup yr with 3 teams...
1...The main stream All Blacks team
2...The NZ Maori Team
3...The Nz Ba Baas
Yes I know the NZ Maori's is a international team..
That gives them a squad of 69 to 80 plus players playing international rugby over the weekend... I see that as a way to choose the best team for the Rugby Champs and Bledisloe cup..
The Maori and BaBaas game was a fiece encounter . Some guys pushing for mainstream spots
After watching the Sxv NZ squads it all about competing for a position in the top 23 and with the Maori and Ba Baas teams it gives them some time to push the coaches for that spot.. I have never ever seen the NZRU have so many games of top level rugby in a yr... Graham Henry wanted this many yrs ago and the NZRU canned it... A way to keep all players fit and rugby ready..
Anyone else got thoughts on this
