And that is central to my questioning of these changes. We can reasonably assume that Cinc, Lord and Binns would be confident in their bodies to go hard for 120 minutes. But I get the romance of Doc and the idea of going into the game with your biggest names.
Once they run through the banner, any thoughts/worries about injury will be banished. Thoughts about not being good enough, earning the displeasure of coaches, teammates and fans, letting their families down will persist though and will have the potential to derail the games of many players, and particularly those who aren’t established members of the team.
Hopefully, our trick cyclists will have worked on that.
