Reds v Chiefs 4th April

Kiss stated a few key players will be rested this week including lynagh. Should have a full strength team, including our starting 10. HMP cant run a backline under pressure that you get in NZ.

Poor HMP. Gets Crusaders away then Chiefs away.

Does Lynagh get rested next for the trip to Fiji, and then the night game in Canberra too :p?

With those guys coming back and given McDermotts been rested, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) only 2nd game of the year, Wright and Flook still out and Daungunu reported to start again who else is there to rest from a Wallabies perspective?

I'm personally very excited at the non-zero chance that we see a bat mask from Paisami

Also I want to see how Lynagh goes against the tough boys. He needs the experience.

I don’t like resting him for this game. It feels like a bit of a 4D chess attempt when at the end of the day you really just need to play better than other teams more than half of the time.

However, I would say in his short career so far that he’s proven himself against some tougher opponents such as the Chiefs last year.

It was bad enough when it seemed like there was just a pre-ordained, "no more than 6 in a row" rest policy for the broader Wallabies group (whoever that may include). Having it chop and change like this is impossible to follow as a fan. I get the player welfare aspect of it but to have it cheapen the competition like this without any visibility (or consistency across the comp) is a real shitshow.

I almost wish they just lied to us about the wallaby component. I could completely understand needing to manage the minutes of a 21 year old fly half with an injury record and what seems to be a target tattooed on his jaw bone, but the idea that because he's in the broader wallabies frame he ends up missing the best opportunity this season to press his claim for the actual jersey is insane.

Surely, he could be managed by coming off the bench? Granted he could have to come on earlier than expected but seems a better balance than missing a big game. And the Reds get a bye after the Brumbies anyways if I'm not mistake.
