What rested ABs? I thought they were all in from the start unless they have a specific sabbatical type thing like Mo’unga?
Just imagine the pace of the canes ABs wingers, RWC winners, Savea and NMS. Swoon

From what some coaches have said it will be managed workloads. Similar to this year.
So x number of minutes in the first month etc

I guess a few players are missing though, players like Tevita Mafileo, Scott Scrafton, Blake Gibson to name a few so they there might be a prop or two a part of that contingent.

@canes4life Not just props, a WTG hooker would be needed too.

**Speaking on the latest episode of James Marshall’s What a Lad podcast, however, Barrett has confirmed that a positional change into the midfield is very much on the cards in the near future.
“I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t spent a few hours in this quarantine hotel thinking about my transition into 12 – something I might do at some stage, whether it’s this year or next year or further down the track,” Barrett said.
“I was a 12 growing up, [it was where I played] most of my footy. I feel like my skillset suits that. Who knows? I guess I’ve got the next month and a half to figure out which avenue I’ll go down but look, I’m happy with the way I’m going at 15 but got a serious eye to playing 12 at some stage so probably not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”**

He's certainly big enough for it, if he beefed up more, he'd be great there. He's played played much every position for ABs outside nine, he has the skills to be a very good 12. Concentrate on it, would be ideal. But he'd have to start now to be good enough for next RWC

Interestingly, I heard on radio before France match Razor would've selected Jordie at 12, Will Jordan at 15.
He mentioned Jordie is a "natural 12" who can "kick off both feet" and a physical presence at 1.96m, 102kg.
