[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 1134254, member: 43875"] yeah if this was the world cup final I'd expect to see a different selection, with limited games before the WC they have to give everyone a go, manage player fatigue, injuries and try out combinations and gameplans. Some players maybe need more gametime to find form while others maybe need a rest. I also think selections are based a lot on how players look at training which we obviously dont see. Clearly Sam Whitelock and Retalick need a rest. I'd also hope that the AB XV are still in the selection mix for the world cup. player not st their best for the AB's could be replaced by a player having a blinder for the XV. That would count against stevenson as he's not getting gametime while he would surely start and probably play well for the ABXV [/QUOTE]
