[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 369199, member: 38640"] But's it's hardly as if these rules are as pick and choose as you make them out to be. Carl Hayman, Chris Jack, Luke McAlister, Doug Howlett, Byron Kelleher, Nick Evans are all players who the AB's could have really done with after 2007, and some we could still really use now. But the only named you will see come the RWC are the ones who are now in NZ. The NZRU know that if you select overseas players, it will kill NZ's domestic game, as we don't have the money to compete and import, like European teams often can. So therefore we go without the odd great player, so we can continue to have a domestic game capable of generating other great players. There is of course the odd circumstance in which the NZRU aren't as solid as they should be, but on the whole they keep their selection policies consistant. [/QUOTE]
