A couple or more had returned with injury during the RWC but weren't replaced. I wonder if that was intentional (if so I can't fathom the reasoning) or sheer failure of management by Eddie et al. I really don't know the ins and outs of the replacement rules but if the injured player has to be reviewed by WR (World Rugby)'s medical staff and if our players had been put on a plane back without being seen in the appropriate way, then there would at least be a reason, not a satisfactory one, behind the non-replacements.
EDIT : the failure to use any replacements surely begs the question why was the Aus A side sent over there to play for the Baa Baas in the first place?
