Reid off bench tomorrow

Reid only off the bench v Tahiti tomorrow. (NZ 2 Tahiti 0 in first leg). Sensible stuff from Herbert who said he doesn't want to risk him. GREAT BIG occassion for Christchurch following on from the earthquake.

That is not what I read. Direct quote here..... "Herbert says Sigmund was outstanding in Tahiti and admits it'll be difficult to leave him out. He's a good shot to start and that's very much on a performance-based case, so there's a few hard decisions but I’d rather have that than not.”

Thought he had a bad back?

thats interesting Tony mate, yes and am now hearing much the same here now. will tell you the truth in a about 1 hours time!

Actually here is a conspiracy theory. Sam phones Herbert and says " Dont play Reid, we need him, just make up any excuse you like"

You probably arent far short of the mark there - Sam does look after his players.

He sure does Nicki, here is more evidence (I think). Reid didn't start, wasn't on the bench, and was not sighted in the crowd.! Early plane back to London? Whu obliged to let him go in the international window but----- Join the dots on this one !
