Monday Round Up
McCaw to be rested: All Blacks captain Richie McCaw is set to be rested once more as he plans his comeback from concussion. McCaw suffered the injury in Round 11 where his Crusaders side beat the Blues and hasn't featured since. Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder has said that no risk will be taken with the All Black and that it if he does not pass tests during the week, he will be given another week off. With the World Cup in 4 months, McCaw and the All Blacks will not want to take any risks.
Cockerill demands better: Leicester returned to the top 4 in the Aviva Premiership with a win over relegated London Welsh but have been told they need to improve with 2 games remaining in the competition. Cockerill thought his side were poor in the first half as they trailed Welsh, who are yet to win a game all yeart. The Tigers sit in 4th with 2 tough games remaining with Wasps and Northampton to come and Cockerill wants a lot more from his players as they look to take that 4th position ahead of Exeter and Wasps.
