“They’re fine. They’re not really feeling good today with some flu symptoms and I’m sure they will be back training tomorrow. They’re pretty tough, so just take a rest today. It’s been a big last two tests so it’s a good opportunity to have a day off and come back tomorrow,” bowling coach Shane Jurgensen was quoted as saying after training by www.stuff.co.nz.
