Is the australlia team depleated that much through genuine reasons? If it was the World Cup would they have had a similar squad or would some of the players been avalable to play? Don't know the answer just asking because it seems to me unless there is a WC on they seem to treat internationals like Chelsea would treat the league cup
You are probably right. The World Cup has a higher status than Four Nations. I am not sure how many Australians were really injured, and how many were under orders from their club not to play (as seems to have happened with France in its competition with the Home Nations).
New Zealand was also missing its two Roosters props Samuel Moa and Jared Wharea -Hargreaves, and Roosters wing/full back Roger Tuivasa-Sheck. I suspect official pressures.
