Matches / minutes played by Wasps internationals this autumn:
Launchbury: 4 games / 257 mins - (80 v Geo / 68 v Ire / 66 v Wal / 43 v Fra)
Rowlands: 4 games / 219 mins - (56 v Sco / 78 v Ire / 32 v Eng / 53 v Ita)
Minozzi: 3 games / 202 mins - (46 v Eng / 76 v Sco / 80 v Fra)
Robson: 5 games / 76 mins - (9 v Ita / 19 v Geo / 18 v Ire / 4 v Wal / 26 v Fra)
Willis: 2 games / 66 mins - (46 v Geo / 20 v Wal)
Doesn't seem a lot in some cases compared with what they might have played if they'd stayed with Wasps, but bear in mind England v Italy and Wales v Scotland were 1 week after the final, so Rowlands, Minozzi and Robson went straight into internationals with no break at all, while Launch and Willis got one weekend off and all were still training throughout. I know all the players had a longer break than usual from March to August, but there is a whole season to be played still and you do have to ask when these guys will be given a break. In 8 weeks time they'll all be back at it in the 6 Nations when national coaches will play them as much as they want, leaving the clubs to manage game time. Have to trust in Lee and S&C team to do whatever is best for these players and for the club.
