He could've used the games before Autumn, I think there needs to be a common sense approach.
I don't think he needs rested now I think it is Cockers planning for future matches where he does not want to have to rest Dell due to protocols so do it now and get it out the way I assume Schoemans ban has required a rejig.
Will try and find interview with Dell where he talks about it being planned what matches the LHs will play in.
EDIT: interview here
“It’s unfortunate for Pierre to be out, and for us running up to the European games, but it’s good that Cockers has been managing us well,” Dell continued. “He’s got his plan to work with us and what games he’s going to play us in and we have to make sure we take our chances. Me and Rory [Sutherland] and Darryl [Marfo] have to put our hands up.”
