          Stuff understands that Cooper was keen on using Naholo in Super Rugby last season but the former Chiefs coach decided against it because he was struggling with a hip injury.

              I think you could go back every year at squad announcement time and these 'optimum' XVs are posted. Very rarely do we ever see them on the field.

                  Yep. You have to have a massive amount of luck to not be dipping deeply into the squad bucket.
                  Mind you, some gems have been unearthed because of that.

                        And those players tend to be involved anyway as injuries are a given throughout a season. Each of the 5 teams will have a larger pool of players involved during the preseason so it will be interesting to see who they are.

                                      I’ll be intrigued to see how Cruden goes. He was borderline hopeless for Montpellier. Do the chiefs get a returning gem or Luke McAlister Mk II?
