So, can someone explain to me why they need to take a squad of 41 players?
Surely a squad of 30 players would be enough, 2 for each position, and a few on stand by incase of injuries.
I heard on the radio on average 10 players get their tour ended by injury.

And it works out to around a game every 3 months in the month of the tour. It is absolutely brutal.

The size of this squad is bigger than usual apparently so 41 may be a bit OTT.
