One of the things that you generally see with the older guys is the injuries start to take their toll on them and they miss practice and that kind of affects their impact on the team, whereas for Rob, injury still isn't a factor for him.

The team has to be held accountable for wresting back the momentum.

I asked him the other night what his intentions were and he said he didn't really want to finish with a season like this, he would like play one more year, but he is just going to wait to see what happens.

Swelling could be an issue, so we will have to make sure we manage the injury against New Zealand and if the outcome looks obvious at any stage then we will rest him.
