Chris Hickey talks to Jamie Pandaram in The Sydney Morning Herald and argues that the ARU must expand the number of contracted players allowed in a Super Rugby squad.
"The Australian Rugby Union must expand the contracted squad limit of each province due to the worst injury crisis in the competition's history, believes Waratahs coach Chris Hickey.
The longer Super Rugby season, which this year expanded from 14 to 18 weeks plus finals, has seen a number of high-profile stars fall victim to injuries, including Wallabies Tatafu Polota-Nau, Sekope Kepu, Luke Burgess, Al Baxter, Ryan Cross, Digby Ioane, James Slipper, Beau Robinson, Nathan Sharpe, and All Blacks Richie McCaw, Sonny Bill Williams and Rene Ranger."
