[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 917170, member: 40658"] I think it does. During England's recent tour to SA there were a lot of talks about England being under strength. But that it had more to do with Injuries and Suspensions than not selecting certain players. But the problem is that the NH teams doesn't give their star performers a sabbatical like the SH teams do during Super Rugby, in that they are being rested for a certain period, or only allowed to play a certain amount of matches consecutively. If memory serves me right, guys like Hartley, Vunipola (who only played 1 or 2 matches), Jonathan Joseph, Wade & Youngs were not part of the squad at all or only played the last match. [/QUOTE]
