GBS, I’m trying to get a handle on your “surfer dude” nic iro Quaint Cooper.
I can’t find anything on the net that links him to surfing. All I get is that he’s a Kiwi by birth and a relative of Sean Maitland the Saders wing.
Its just your own take on him?
175@ The_Young_Italian – How’s it in Milano?
16 or so minutes left
Think the Reds are done, all they can hope for is a bonus point if they score another try.
Forward pass ref ?!
