[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 573486, member: 48703"] Not really unsafe. Tonga manage it every year. Wales managed it in 2001 with the likes of Ben Evans, Chris Wyatt and Craig Quinnell in their team (hardly the fittest bunch), and nobody was "unsafe". In fact it was Japan who were the ones exhausted at the end of the match from chasing the Welsh backs all match iirc. There's no issue. I'm surprised tough man Shaun Edwards is whining about this. Fijians don't get hand warmer breaks coming from Fiji to play in freezing NH conditions, and I'm sure they could technically point to some rare occasion somebody got hypothermia or frostbite. No other teams playing in Japan has made an issue of this. Also as has already been pointed out, there is a stoppage in play every penalty and try to have drink. It's not a "meaningless game" either btw. Big game for all the players involved and it's the first defence of the Raeburn Shield. [/QUOTE]
