Reserve scrummie is Harry Goddard from Randwick. 1st year out of school. Tonne of potential in that young lad.

Mungo throws the ball out. WTF? That could cost Country the game. Edit: & it does. Is it the Mungo's fault or should their Coaches explain the Laws of the Rugby to them at some stage in their transition from the dark side to Heavensgame, emphasising where there may be differences between...
