[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 593778, member: 20605"] So you are saying that [B]all[/B] the Top 14 teams field full strength every week? Rubbish, they don't, and that is a fact; a verifiable fact. Players are not allowed to play more than 32 matches each season. 26 Top 14 round robin matches plus six Heineken Cup/Amlin pool matches makes the 32, and that leaves no room for the six playoff matches and 11 test matches (5 x 6N, 3 x June Tours, 3 x AIs) If what you say was true, then some players would be playing 49 matches each season. Given that there are only 52 weeks in the year, and the Top 14 takes breaks during the season (including Christmas, New Year and Easter) and a 10 week break between seasons, then I call BS on that.
