[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 837428, member: 73592"] Errr... what? so you want ever larger squads, giving ever more advantage to England (and France) over the others? Quite apart from that; you'd be simply wrong if you're expecting coaches to rest a player because they're tired - what you'd actually see, is the same players playing the same number of games, carrying injury and tiredness, with the rugby becoming a competition of who can stay on their feet the longest (or have enough depth to actually replace the knackered - which is only England and France). As for your improbable statement - I can only assume that you haven't been following rugby for long. Players self-certifying as fit when they're not is a problem spanning the last several decades; and the professionalism of medical staff is completely irrelevant to the situation; especially if they're being lied to by players who don't want someone else taking their place (and appearance money) from them.
