X., I totally would have agreed with you before this weekend but now our final hopes are dead and we need to be looking to the future. We have also gotten absolutely hammered anyway the last couple of games with our more experienced team. Unfortunately we also don't have an NRC and we need to be giving these young blokes an opportunity to prove themselves. I don't mind still having some of the more experienced guys playing but somone like Ralston, who has not been good and is not here next year, might as well be replaced with a youngster who we need to blood like Makara or Tapine.
P.S, I am not saying put an U20s team out there. Of course still have some of the older guys out there like Kahui, and Thrush, and Fergus etc... but some players after the last couple of weeks don't deserve their spots and we need to start blooding for next year's team.
