Anothe penalty……………….swak.

63 – Loosehead, damn so we playing with 14men.
Barney back on…. no damage done
Smit back on, JDuP off.
Our scrum looks ok
So many penalties, just spoiling the game and the weather too making it very difficult.
Hell, the weather is such a spoiler of a game…..
What is with all the beards…….hahaha. See the Canes team all wearing them too.
