最高の Rugby 太平洋の 減らすd as All 黒人／ボイコットs, Wallabies 残り／休憩（する）
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - The Hamilton-based 長，指導者s are the only unbeaten team after the 週末´s fifth 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of 最高の Rugby 太平洋の which produced another 一連の mediocre matches, some in which mediocrity was self-（打撃，刑罰などを）与えるd.
Already, player depth has become an 問題／発行する for teams on both 味方するs of the Tasman which are 要求するd to 残り／休憩（する） international players 定期的に during this World Cup year as 傷害s become challenging for most teams.
The 知恵 of the 軍隊d stand-負かす／撃墜する of 実験（する） players has long been 審議d, both ーに関して／ーの点でs of its 有効性 and its 衝撃 on the 競争. The last two 一連の会議、交渉／完成するs of 最高の Rugby have seen instances in which the 使用／適用 of the stand 負かす／撃墜する 必要物／必要条件 has been detrimental to matches and 侮辱ing to fans.
When the Christchurch-based 改革運動家s traveled to Fiji to play the Fijian Drua in 一連の会議、交渉／完成する four, they left behind most of their All 黒人／ボイコットs in a move which seemed dismissive of the most ardent fan base in the tournament. The 改革運動家s paid with an upset loss.
The ACT Brumbies （機の）カム to Christchurch on Friday to play the 改革運動家s, leaving behind most of their Wallabies in 一致 with Rugby Australia 必要物／必要条件s. The cost was the loss of their unbeaten 記録，記録的な／記録する and fans who were left to watch the worst match of the fifth 一連の会議、交渉／完成する.
Fans may be asking why they are 推定する／予想するd to play the 十分な ticket price to watch second-string teams produce poor rugby, all in the 指名する of an ephemeral 計画（する） to 勝利，勝つ a World Cup in which the All 黒人／ボイコットs and Wallabies at best are outside chances.
Whether 残り／休憩（する）ing players is a successful 戦略 is doubtful. Many players have spoken against it and any examination of the correlation between World Cup success and 残り／休憩（する）ing 政策s is equivocal.
Friday´s match in which the 改革運動家s （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the Brumbies 35-17 may be an 起訴，告発 of the 残り／休憩（する） 政策, though the 改革運動家s had lost more players to 傷害 than All 黒人／ボイコット 義務s.
A match between the defending 支持する／優勝者s and unbeaten tournament pacesetters should have been a blockbuster but it was 廃虚d by poor play from both teams.
改革運動家s coach Scott Robertson received a standing ovation as he walked to his seat before the game as fans 定評のある his 任命 as the next All 黒人／ボイコットs 長，率いる coach. He left the ground in わずかに いっそう少なく chipper mood.
"We got the 職業 done," he said. "It wasn´t as clean as we´d hoped. We´d love to 完全にする a lot more. We had a lot of chances in the first half."
The 長，指導者s 持続するd their unbeaten 記録，記録的な／記録する, also in a 欠如（する）-luster match against the New South むちの跡s Waratahs in Sydney. They won 24-14 but it was a poor 結果 for their 大規模な 株 of 所有／入手 and 領土.
"It was a real arm-格闘する," 長，指導者s captain Sam 茎 said. "They put us under a lot of 圧力 and we ended up dropping a lot of pill. We had to work really hard for it tonight."
The ハリケーンs moved up to second place behind the 長，指導者s with a nine-try 59-0 勝利，勝つ over Moana Pasifika, the first time the 太平洋の team has been held scoreless.
The Auckland-based Blues also 残り／休憩（する）d most of their All 黒人／ボイコットs on Sunday when they were at home to the Melbourne 反逆者／反逆するs. They won 30-10 but had to work hard for the 勝利，勝つ against a 決定するd 反逆者／反逆するs team which might have felt slighted by the fact Beauden Barrett, Finlay Christie, Nepo Laulala and Rieko Ioane all were "残り／休憩（する）ing".
"明白に we´ve got a good team of depth and you saw that today," Blues stand-in captain Harry Plummer said. "If we can keep building that depth and rely on the hot squad, rathe r than those All 黒人／ボイコットs who are on 残り／休憩（する） week, it´s going to put our team a lot better in the 競争."
