Go Bumblies! Rubbles have to lose to finish bottom of the log so that the mighty Lions can finish in 14th spot on the log.
Now if ever there was a dead rubber, this is it!

Well when you have two teams of walking dead playing, what do you expect? Think of it as a zombie movie where the zombies are playing rugby against each other!
