Sorry to say again, but it’s wishful thinking. I know why, but it’s stupid. We have the potential to make this end positively. Players will have had a break and a chance to recover physically they would never normally have had (unless All Black stars - who do routinely take career breaks to prolong their careers). If we manage it, allow them to come back to full fitness in time, and pick up in a managed way then we minimise the harm to them and, longer term, the clubs. Rush it, prioritise short term gain over long term, and we make things worse.
