@canefan for players like them it becomes more mental fatigue with the intensity levels rather than the physical side of it, in my opinion of course.
Don't the French players have over 30 matches per season?
In comparison we play just 14 games of Super Rugby each year, it's laughable.

Our guys play just 14 games of Super Rugby each year....
Plus tests plus pre season plus any npc... bunch of softies that (spit) Foster let's them get away with.
Geez the French are awesome.

Kudos to the French players playing EVERY club match and EVERY test.

@kiwi_expat Don't the French clubs have far bigger squads and far more rotation? And the Top 14 continues during the test window, without their internationals.

Foster apologist.

@booboo I don’t mind it because it does have some cultural/heritage significance with the purple and thistles.
Plus I’m sure the main sponsor Peter Vardy who is paying more than a million pounds a year won’t mind something a little different because it will get people focusing in on the jersey and hence their logo.

Feel free to move this to Foster
Been thinking about this whole coaching conundrum
As far as I’m concerned you pick the best 23 available to you every match
You can tinker with who starts and who finishes but you want your best charges present and correct at every opportunity
But how do you blood new players I hear you ask?
Ardie Savea is the best No 8 in the world at the moment
If Sotutu is chosen ahead of him based on merit not rotation then Sotutu can rightfully feel he’s possibly the best No 8 in the world
He’s trained day in day out with the best in the world (Savea) and been chosen ahead of him
That’s all he needs to perform
Not 10 minutes at the end of a match that’s already won against a side who are already beaten
Alldritt is very close.
France have always had some of my favourite number 8s. Harinordiquay, Chabal, Picamoles……what a bunch of talented psychos.
Laurent Rodriguez was the man.

Are the AB fans actually worried about Finn Russell? 😂

We're more worried about Fozzie.
