How Herbert is this:
"At the end of the day, you have got what you have got, and you can choose what you can choose."
Here's some more:
"It's finding out what is going to be best leading into November. Two good internationals and a chance to sample a couple of things and feel confident that we're happy to go a certain way. We don't want to show too much either. There will be people looking at what we're doing so we need to be a little careful there as well."
They're words, and they're in the right order, but I'm not sure I know anything more after a Herbert interview than I did previously.
This could also be interpreted as him playing a back 4 so that he doesn't show up his miracle back 3 to potential opponents. I suppose that's one advantage of no build up matches!
