[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 626907, member: 57076"] Top 12 would be alright, but it's just down to protecting the players, like the English do for instance. EVERY SINGLE one of our 30 selected players but 6 played last weekend, and lots of them 65min or even a whole match. Only 6 guys were left to rest. None of the England players (but Mako Vunipola apparently) played this weekend. How the fk can we afford to play our guys when we obviously still don't have the chemistry we need as a group, and they actually return to their respective clubs' atmosphere and game plan and teammates and coach, and then even risk getting injured some more - this weekend's victim: our other hooker, Szar. A country like England obviously still prioritizes national duty well over the clubs' season: players are protected, don't play during the off weekend, and help themselves as best they can mount a real team with a real sense of priority, cohesion and a club atmosphere. They're focused and grow together while being physically fresh(er). Our guys (24 out of the 30) this week will return from jacuzzi to cold-water pool yet again, will have to settle, rework their way into the feel for the Blue jersey, the stakes, readapt to the coach, "game plan" (if any)...etc...while grooming their last 50min/80min encounter. It is, excuse my french: FUKKING BOOLLSHHIT. [/QUOTE]
