You completely missed the point.

Basically Hudson doesn't care what you or I have heard for the last 30 years, ad nauseum about fitness. He couldn't give a toss. 

He just wants his players fit, and going on the state Tuiloma, Lewis & Ingham were recently turning up in - message still not sinking in.

Your moaning about not having a squad of players as skillful as Peru (or an AWs coach stating we do) - is better directed as NZF's youth development program. That and fact that we have a popn of only 4M (where football ain't the main sport), compared to Peru's 32M - means it a delusional pipe dream to think the AWs coach will say 'yes man for man we are better than Peru' (substitute any of 50 countries for the world's currently 12th ranked side).

That's not saying AWs shouldn't be striving to be better, but playing team as highly ranked as Peruvians, of course they have better more skilled players than us.
