There is a bit of an obsession with using all the subs and using all 12 interchanges.
I think teams can get into a set pattern of changes which can be disrupted with injuries. Not playing all the subs indicates a coach who is in control of the strategy not just looking at the clock and changing the hooker after 30 minutes because that what we did last week.
Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.
