'Boks to rest 20 for Tri Nations: report

[The EnForcer]

BS - the soccer arguement does work and it has been happening for years, look at the last team to represent Australia - list how many Europe/UK ozzie players were missing!!

Easy Tiger....what I meant was in rugby the set up is different and, for example, in Australia only rugby players playing in Australia represent the national side, so there is no conflict in the scheduling of tests there. On this issue, at present, there is very little comparison between what happens in soccer to rugby because of the way it is structured and this is the case for most, if not all, of the top teams.

Cool down dude, should be a happy Happy since you are going on holiday next week.

there might not be a conflict of tests but the same problem we see right now with teams PRIORITISING the games they want to win is a conflict!

S.A. has clearly left to tour hoping to fullfill their rugby commitments without risking 20 of their players.
The same way N.Z. did with S14.

To me that's a conflict that you can't stop nor police.

The Wallabies/AB's need to concentrate on the team on the field , not whose in and whose out. If SA happens to beat any of them it's all been justified.Rugby needs to be played on the field. We may be treated to some SA running football instead of the negative style they seem to slip into from time to time. In the end history will show the winner not SA was resting players.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
