The guy has a steel bolt in his foot. All those little bones flexing under the weight and power of a 100kg athlete can't be a happy combination with a steel bolt you'd think.
They should be resting him this game if he's hurt. That they aren't tells us it really is just a niggle, or that the morale impact of not playing him when Carter is out is a step too far.
The third possibility is that Henry rates the Pumas a lot higher than we think.
Certainly if the Kiwis were to lose there'd be no redemption for players or coach in NZ. They'd need to make like Skase and flee the country.
My money is on niggle, but we'll soon see!
