Aish Tackles, stating the bleeding obvious as usual but being the expert that you are, can you state without a shadow of doubt that fatigue had no role to play in DC injury?

Spot the non-playbing keyboard athletes whose biggest potential injury is a broken nail. These guys don’t say the season is too long because they are lazy. Still as long as we can type off our face on a beanbag, we should expect these guys to play themselves into the ground.

He has a point but it does sound like an excuse. In any event, we all knew the world cup would come around in 2011 so we should not be surprised. The tri nations teams should look to the SANZAR and ask them why they had to play a tri nations and bledisloe on the even of a world cup and just after an extended S15 format.

Feeble excuses! You can pull a muscle or break a bone or snap a tendon in your first game or your 30th game. Dan Carter hurt himself without anyone touching him — merely practising a place-kick. Andre Pretorius once had a season-ending injury by sitting awkwardly in his big business-class aeroplane seat. The length of the season has nothing to do with it.

This after they sat on their asses for the biggest part of the season. Please!
