Thank the merciful angels both the sharks and boks have realised the folly of their ways….
Grant, single-issue posters are dull
@robdylan (Comment 11) :
Hehehehehhehe.
Hey I have noticed that this was their last game. Why did they fly Barritt over?
POMS must have got SARU disease as well. flying players over for no reason is just stupid.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 22) : they still have to play the Maori?
