[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 939054, member: 59145"] Yes New Zealand do the same thing, and that in itself is a little annoying and takes a bit away from this years tournament BUT it's not the same, just look at this week's line up: [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D2K0F0jUkAA1gvX.jpg[/IMG] So the Wolves have dropped Saumaki to the bench, one of their best players to give Yamanaka game time, and they have done the same to their Captain and best player by dropping Michael Little for Tatekawa. Now it might be different if this was a genuine attempt at trying different combinations for the Sunwolves but it definitely isn't, within a week or two I guarantee you Tatekawa and Yamanaka will be gone. It's very obvious that they use the Sunwolves to test their international players, give them game etc and NOT for the benefit of the Sunwolvs at all, this isn't the first time they have done this either, they do it frequently (I follow the line-ups religiously each week as a matter of course because I'm a sad ******* obsessed with fantasy). The NZ teams are doing the best they can within the restrictions, it's not the same as being a glorified practice team. [/QUOTE]
