[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 932981, member: 73592"] I'm not worried about that this year. Last year it was deliberate to taken the players past their breaking point, so that some could find where that was (including coaching and conditioning staff), and others could experience playing on in the most demanding of conditions. The inevitable injuries were considered a price worth paying with 18 months to recover. They're not now with 6. Now is the time for reaping the rewards of that, with training programs adjusted to individual breaking points, mentally and physically, but with an eye on injury prevention, and another on peaking late October (RWC fixtures have worked out really nicely for us this year, so we can target peaking that bit later into the tournament, without having to worry about hitting the ground running). Last year's target was 20% past the mental and physical breaking point. This year's is 20% shy of that. We can afford to arrive at the RWC 10-15% shy of it, and not to be at 100% effectiveness until an expected SF [/QUOTE]
