pictures about england, they are training and they have the mist machine and the like and i getting used to it and those who are playing at 1pm or a little later in the afternoon, it will certainly be a challenge coming out of europe. however, those who are playing in the evening should be fine. this was always going to be an issue. i think people are thinking it s going to be a greater factor thinking it s going to be a greaterfactor perhaps thinking it s going to be a greater factor perhaps than what we anticipated. nevertheless i think the temperatures are not extreme at this time of the year. so, it shouldn t be, i think, as much of a factor of the fatigue. condense and packed playing schedule that we ve seen the top lawyers in the world being put through. and to see how they are able to manage the line ups and the amount of time top players in the world are able to play in the world cup and in actualfact able to play in the world cup and in actual fact whether we are able to get a
