With respect, that isn't exactly the point. We know that most players play through the season with injuries (niggle or worse). I don't know if anyone has suggested most of these guys couldn't start a test, but the idea was to get them over anything they might have been carrying through the S15. I don't like the fact that we're going to see a little more history eroded tomorrow, but unfortunately this is the result of professionalism, the friggen ridiculous rugby calendar imposed on everyone by the media (and unions), and the overblown RWC.
Bullshit / Bollocks / Boknai. Take your pick.
Look how much more the players in the NH comps play. Our Super Rugby players should shut their traps and get the fark on with it.
By all means, rest a few that have carried most of the work load. Guys like Victor and others who are getting older and typicall play through injury most of the time.
But to lie like our administration has is absolutely disgraceful. Par for the course with the SARU circus though and we fans just have to put up with it.
It will impact the Bok brand. I guarantee less people in SA, NZ and Aus will be watching tonight. I had a ticket booked to fly over this morning which I cancelled this week. I'll be fucked if I was to fly accross the ditch at a huge cost, book a hotel and sit and watch guys who should not wear that jersey get their arses handed to them.
This is a case of trying to cram three years of coaching into three weeks. PdV and his support staff haven't done much of the coaching bit and now Rassie quickly gets hauled in to do a hospital job.
