@nzzp Didn't specify, but I assume so.
Will be a lot of Ab's missing if thats the case
Crusaders have 11 on the tour I presume Scott Barrett would be available having missed the NH Tour.
Blues have 9
Chiefs have 10 not counting DMac who will be in Japan
Canes have 6
Highlanders with Smith have 3 -

Doesn't Mo'unga's long absence from SR at the beginning from SR Pacific have to do with him still be owed parental leave? He has hardly had any, unlike Whitelock. Smith in the same boat as RM.
He had 6 weeks off played on August 14th 2nd Wallabies test and returned 27 th September.To Australia for the 2nd SA test.
I doubt RM would want that long away from playing.
Finishing 21st November and not playing again until the middle of April. -

@chris Wasn't most of that before his son was born?
Edit: don't know anyway. I was just wondering.
No he had 3 weeks at home with his Son.

@chris If all ABs are absent for so long, then that will be ruining SRP again.
Yes agree it will wreck SR probably help the Aussie teams massively.

@duluth we just aren’t that good. Surprised we even made the semis this year. Some goodish players but we lack chemistry and a bit of class too.
Lots to work on and hopefully we see a bit more development.
I agree. Some goodish players and some potential. But the squad is nothing special.. I think a few people haven’t noticed the change in quality (particularly the Sky commentators)
Not a bad side though
A losing SF isn’t a bad outcome given the resources

the quality of rugby analysis and insight in the commentating teams is woeful.
