Do you guys give your reserves a spin? I try to make sure that the reserves play every friendly along with any first team players that need a bit more training.. How do you guys play it? Do you train your reserves?

All my reserves are young lads so they all get a spin for the training. Only position I don't tend to stick a reserve in is scrumhalf, I normally throw in the back-up s/h.

My reserve players only get a run when the first choice player is a bit low on energy.

This will change though once injuries become more frequent in league games. (from week 8 I think)

Awww shiz, I'm not a fan of this injury lark ... yet I think I'm surprisingly well placed to operate regardless! Hurrah! :pac:

My active reserves (ie not the gimps who are just there to make up the numbers) play every friendly, in place of older/tired first teamers.
