The Chiefs have had by far and away the highest injury toll over the last few years. Surely questions must be asked about how their players are conditioned. It seems that NZ squads are also suffering a hell of a lot more serious injuries than the Aussie and South African teams. I wonder why this is. The argument that our Conference is faster and more brutal dioesn't explain the high toll as it's only been three weeks into the season.

All part of our gameplan: tire them out by letting them score points and then run over the top of them. Kinda like the Blues, but competent.
