Rugby overload

Wynne Gray is worried about the All Blacks' workload in 2011 in The New Zealand Herald.

"Let's face it. The All Blacks' schedule next year is ridiculous. It has been aggravated by the impending birth of the Super 15, a tournament which expands the schedule for each franchise to a possible 19 games from mid-February to a July 9 conclusion.

"Those chosen for the All Blacks will have a three-week break before they begin a four-test Tri-Nations series then a fortnight's interval until the start of the Rugby World Cup.

"It is a heavy programme, rugby overload, and little wonder the All Black coaches have been wooing the Super rugby coaches at this week's meetings to get some agreement about sparing the top players."
