[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 962312, member: 65365"] Bump, Irish or other nh experts Are you saying the back row wasn’t good after bringing Leitch in, or that it was already good before and then just got better? I wonder the same thing. They played their top team against Russia, so really can’t afford not to play their top team in other games. They’ll have a disadvantage in that sense, but their goal is probably to make the quarterfinals and playing their best team in each pool game is the best strategy for that. But compare that to Scotland who have the depth to rest players against Russia, the week before they play japan. [/QUOTE]
