...the votes from Matfield/Du Preez/Smit obviously didn't carry as much weight in this one.

I watched the ceremony live. Players voted for Battleship. They could not voted for a player from their own province. They asked him about the future and he is looking forward to it. Cant wait to get the splinters out of his arse.
