[QUOTE="FSM, post: 778055, member: 73698"] That is a real waste. It misses out, in particular, the slower developers - both physically and skillwise. I think NZ rugby has only recently got over its infatuation with size first selection. It's especially a problem in the Auckland area, which has the largest Polynesian population, as they seem to develop physically much earlier and therefore are more potent on the school rugby field. It's hard for any coach to overlook that if they are focussing on short-term results. In the UK do clubs like Saracens and Wasps not have lower grade teams? Are they more like the Super Rugby franchises, which only have the main team plus sometimes a development one? [/QUOTE]
