Wasps to unleash their Super Rugby duo Shields and Sopoaga
By Rob Lancaster
"You can sense a bit of an edge in training. You know we're going to have to be good. Everybody talks about the way Exeter play. We know what they're going to bring but we've still got to stop it," Dai Young, director of rugby at Wasps, told the club's website ahead of the fixture against last season's beaten finalists.
"They're a quality team who do not have too many weaknesses but we've shown in the past. If we get our game going we're more than a handful for anybody.
"We're under no illusions and we know we're going to have to play our best rugby and if we don't play our best rugby, it could be a hard day at the office."

Liverpool? OK, whatever you say 🤷♂️ You spelt Syringeboks wrong, need to calm down a bit and wipe the tears from your eyes.

All three were well on track to being All Blacks. They simply decided it was smarter to take the money right now rather than slog on for another 3 or 4 years waiting for their opportunity to line up.
Many AB quality players have not even got the chance to earn a cap for heavens sake, it is simply as you suggest elsewhere, better utilization of global talent to have them qualify for another nation.
The only problem is that the ABs get all the best players, mostly because they pay more, and the island nations, even the home nations, just get those that can't make it or want a bit more limelight.
