Fork, my skouer is seer in die potjie… en ek speel al Maandag weer Squash….
Ace Frehley… I see you are in Switserland….
The early evening chill is now creeping into my office…. jacket on time
Yep, go Lions. I get the feeling that if they could’ve held onto Mitchell for a year or two, something might just be happening in Jozi. Hopefully they can continue the shift that was in evidence and they can get him back next year without losing too much momentum.
As it is, I enjoyed the way they played last week. A few bright young things coming through. Especially Whitely, Taute and Jantjies.
