Do you think Australia should gamble on luring Pete Samu and Alaalatoa back home? I know they’re not starters for the Crusaders but I think they’ll be great for the Wallabies depth right now, more game time in Oz and hopefully see what they’re really capable of?

Piru,
It’s the same set up as the beep test, difference is it starts at level 8, skips to level 10, then starts at level 11.1 onwards if I can remember correctly. All rep teams use this now to measure fitness levels along with other new tests. Kind of explains why a lot of Nz forward packs go the distance nowadays.

and that’s before training, what follows are a lot of skills and upgraded touch games, ruck work etc

Hey piru, I have a fair idea of what the chiefs are expected to achieve in terms of fitness, as it filters right through to all their provinces like counties Waikato etc have you heard of the yoyo test? It’s an upgrade of the beep test. Props are expected to hit 17.5 onwards, while the locks at 18.1 and so forth with the rest. Basically nowadays the props and locks have to have similar fitnesses, Which is not easy I must say some provincial flankers that are so fit supposedly just manage to crack the 18 level mark, says it all really with the level of fitness that New Zealand rugby players are at nowadays.
