Sorry Dave, but I'm reliably informed that the All Blacks will be
unaffected by injuries to important players. JohnO, Patrick, JD and other
AB Cheer Leaders insist on it.

Apparently, the All Blacks are inoculated against this problem because they
have more depth than the Mariana Trench. So, for example, if they loose
Hayman, in steps Somerville. And, I mean, Somerville has played about 5
mins in the last year, so he's bound to be as good, right? No loss at all.
Flesh wound.

Sommerville looks like he's out with an eye injry, so in steps
Tialata. He's looked good against Tier 1 opposition when he's both
started and come on as a sub over the last couple of seasons.

What was that steaming pile of drivel you just sputtered again,
Thommo?
