[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 800536, member: 71826"] You can but, a lot of coaches will still take the view that with limited game time (compared to a domestic league) continuity takes precedence. Anyway, it's only one game in the calendar. England's next 12 months of fixtures are: 3 tests Vs Australia Autumn internationals - SA, Fiji, Argentina, Australia Usual 6N fixtures That's 12 matches against 9 opposition, I'd say pretty standard for a year. Only Italy and Fiji are you not taking a big risk to not put your strongest available side, so two chances in 12 months for players to be blooded / first picks to be rested. Edit: And that's in a year without the All Blacks [/QUOTE]
