[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 946909, member: 65365"] But remember the playoffs is more than half of the teams. If you finished 7th in super 12 it wouldn’t have been considered a good result, not bad but not good. And it’s easier to finish 7th in this competition with the Aussie teams and the sunwolves pretty poor. I kinda agree about the all blacks resting but at the same time the likes of retallick, cane, squire, sbw, read, coles, naholo have had long rests through injury, while a number of other players have had shorter rests through injury too plus obligatory all blacks rests. Ardie, s barrett, s Whitelock, Laumape, alb, goodhue, a smith, tj could have done with some more rest though, Ione and the other blues guys obviously will get some rest. All in all we will probably come in reasonably rested with a few games practice under our belt. Not too bad really. I think Hansen wouldn’t mind players having playoff experience too. There is probably a position or two that will be decided in the playoffs as well. [/QUOTE]
