[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1086923, member: 39190"] My memory might also be failing me but what I remember is that the Kiwi's only rested contracted All Blacks who had to be rested and this only during RWC years. But I might be mis-remembering. For the most part I remember star studded Crusaders sides making life difficult for us. We tended to have a decent win rate vs the other sides though. At least at home we did. Leinster all but has the 1st spot sewn up. Can't blame them for taking advantage of the position they've manage to put themselves in. I'm really regretting those games vs Benetton, Edinburgh and Connacht where it was ours for the taking. Might've forced Leinster to come at us at home. It'll be interesting to see if their B/C/D side can make a game of it vs us as well. I think that 2nd place and home Q/SF will be enough motivation for us to not take it too easy. Classic Sharks. Edinburgh played the conditions beautifully though. I think the Sharks will have to adapt in this tournament if simply because the sides we are facing now are more used to playing in the wet than SA sides are, even the Sharks. . [/QUOTE]
