[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 918289, member: 45598"] [ATTACH=full]6886[/ATTACH] In all seriousness though it simply must go, look at the last squad, it has two premature retirees and a handful of lads who have hardly played 80 minutes of rugby since, and only now are we seeing some guys like Jack McGrath and Robbie Henshaw start looking their best again.

Further edit: I also think English clubs have to appreciate that a fresh back up is as good as a wrecked starter, the pro14 sides stagger their rotation which gives players their needed rest and still fields strong sides.
