[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 966497, member: 43875"] The All Blacks not wanting a 5 day turnaround before a QF sounds completely reasonable, along with all the other added problems of a move to a later date. its a complicated situation. I still think this game being cancelled is bad for the AB's. It was clear this game was going to be used as a ramp to launch into the finals with the #1 team after two soft games with rotated lineups on the flip side, no chance of injuries or suspensions when you don't play. Though injuries do happen in training and the team will likely have a game simulation within the squad. you can never control those aspects though it never works out just staying at home bubble-wrapped delaying the game really throws a spanner in the buildup to quarter finals. Ideally the game could have been played a earlier. Get it done before the storm hits but there wasn't a contingency for that. It just sucks. This game was important to both sides. [/QUOTE]
