But we didn't want Brennan to play and he didn't, despite Wales having a strop about it. Their reaction suggests that they thought he could've played.
But New Zealand is a long way to go for a medical assessment.
Does that not suggest we had the power to do the same with Wood and chose not to? Therefore suggesting his injury was not bad at the time of travel and therefore not a risk?
It's just wild speculation without the facts, I tend to trust medical professionals and assume they felt he was safe to travel at that point (whereas Brennan was not). However, if someone made a mistake it is on them as opposed to anyone else at the club.
