[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 942045, member: 65365"] You make some good points in your justifications but ...I think the rule is that if you replace a player they can’t come back into the squad, so there is extra risk in specialist positions if you were to have short term injuries. For example, say Aaron Smith got injured in the first game but was expected to be available by the final. With your squad you’d only be playing with one halfback in the quarter and semi finals, with no one else remotely able to play there. That means Perenara would play 80 mins of every game? And that if Perenara were to get injured you’d have to play the rest of the game with say Mo’unga at halfback in a semifinal? The other option is you send Aaron home and replace him, but you can’t bring him back for the final. I agree that at 9 and 10 there is a gulf between the top 2 and what comes after, but that to me is more reason to bring in a third to protect them . [/QUOTE]
