Why does the media and NZF still continue to include in player stats their appearances for NZ in non A Internationals?  Surely we should only be looking at full internationals and not worrying about games against U23s, European clubs and B sides etc.

A good point in case are Turner and Sumner.  Both are definitely two of NZ's best players and the two of them have played more then 100 games for NZ BUT when one looks at A Internationals both Elliot and Vichelich appear (I could be wrong mind) to have played more games for the AWs then the '82 pair.

beacuse thats the kind of home games we used to play here - and if you make the team then what's the difference who you play against? It still means you were one of the best players in the country at the time
