[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 347543, member: 43400"] The point is that the NZRU is more likely to risk injury to more star players, and release players and not worry about working out their top combinations etc, 3 years out from a world cup than less than 12 months out from a world cup ... the likes of Thomson, Gear, Ben Smith, and Gilford, were all excluded from the Tri-Nations this year - if the ABs hadn't been beaten by the Springboks so many times last year, lost the Tri-nations last year, and it being less than 1 year out from the RWC, the NZRU may have put more importance on CWG sevens, and released the Weepu's etc ... NZ through to the final 33 England 12 [/QUOTE]
