Tony BrownHighlanders assistant coach Tony Brown is the latest to express concerns over New Zealand Rugby's controversial All Blacks rest protocols in Super Rugby, saying it has cost some players their All Blacks careers. And then their Super Rugby form actually cost them their All Blacks spot." "Because there's so many good rugby players who did get quality pre-season time in, eg Sevu Reece.
