[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 579847, member: 12190"] I read a quote that he's beign rested because he has had a knee thing: Gatland said Phillips was "fit and available", although the Welshman - who started all three Tests in South Africa - has not been able to take a full part in training with a knee injury that also hindered him in the first Test. "The decision was to rest him this week," Gatland explained. "He is potentially an important component for next week. Given the quality of the nines we have got, all of them have done a great job for us. We felt it was prudent to make sure he was 100% fit for next week." Obviously, that could be code for 'Oz have worked him out' as Cymro suggested, but then again, I'd put a lot of money on philips being included next week if it's a series decider... I think its more likely he's being kept safe until 100% fit. [/QUOTE]
