Chris Rattue, writing for the New Zealand Herald picks over the latest trend of 'tiredness' amongst the world's elite players.
"It's tiring hearing how tired our rugby players are.
The strain of wading through all the stories about exhausted footballers needing a break means there is barely enough energy left to digest the next story.
I was brought up on the legend of players busting a gut to be All Blacks, but the postscript to tests these days is akin to a fight for the top bunk with Camp Dad Graham Henry providing the ladder.
A four-game stretch rates as a life sentence and even the fearsome frontrower Owen Franks relishes a break in the name of recuperative weightlifting and eating."
