[QUOTE="Mcfadden, post: 734370, member: 72865"] That's true, it's worth being wary of it. Kaino was pretty buggered, and Read had played a lot. But being tired by the time the World Cup Final rolled around was also due to a hefty Super Rugby campaign. Which haven't been quite as hectic this year. [B]2011 Super Rugby Minutes played:[/B] [LIST] [*]Read - 1,218 minutes [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Kaino - 1,212 minutes [/LIST] [B]2015 Super Rugby Minutes played:[/B] [LIST] [*]Read - 784 minutes [*]Kaino - 622 minutes [/LIST] Read has played 5 games less in his campaign compared to 2011, and Kaino has played 7 less. Of the loose trio, only McCaw has played more minutes than the 2011 campaign, so perhaps giving Cane a run during one of the matches against Australia wouldn't be a bad idea. If anything, this year people like Ben Smith and Aaron Smith have played the type of minutes that resemble the 2011 figure for Kaino/Read, etc. Hence involving Dagg more is quite a real prospect. You can't be expected to get into form without game time - did 2007 not teach anyone that? (not directing that question at you.) And yes, it was only Argentina but it's a decent start. [/QUOTE]
