Re: Scotland rugby team vs All blacks

I see what you are saying but I think the Italy game was always expected to be make or break.
Hadden needs to get Scotland to the Quarters, even with the strongest team possible the chances of a win against the All Blacks are negligible.
I suppose there are lots of ways to look at it but not subjecting the 'big' players to the physical battering that is a game against NZ can only be good for the chances of winning the following week.
I know there's every chance that Italy will beat Scotland anyway but I'd rather see us go in at full strength.
As for the paying public, I'd imagine they're looking forward to seeing an awesome AB team who are likely to win the RWC. If I was being totally honest I'd probably say that many of the cucumber sandwich brigade who are paying the large amounts to watch the game wont know half the Players on show anyway so its maybe not that big an issue.

We don't play Italy until next weekend. I don't buy this too many games issue and the players have more than ample time to recover. In any event humpty Hadden has been going on that the players have not had a huge amount of match practice. What better opportunity than to pit your wits against the best in the world and learn from the experience.
Bad call in my view.
