[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 628582, member: 44360"] That hasn't been the case with Canada, in fact it's been a fantastic development tool for us with our limited options, virtually all our XV's backs and lots of the loose forwards have seen action in 7's and I can't think of many players I'd say have been harmed from it, possibly Hirayama has as he plays XV's like it's 7's. Don't think the Tier Two sides are interested in playing the likes of the Saxons anymore we'd be better off playing one another(as is happening now with the PNC and other events), I'd rather have games against the likes of Tonga than a Saxons game attended by a handful of fans and not drawing any interest in the Tier Two and three markets where the game needs to grow. The ENC sides will also have troubles getting players released for games against the "A" sides since it's hard enough for them to get player's released for full cap matches. [/QUOTE]
