Penalty WP, easy’ish one for the Greek
I could still take it, barely, if we lost to the Blacks, as they’re at home and have all the support, but if we lost to to the Ozzies! No man, just no way man!

Kitty cats should take this one. Province are just a shadow of a team held together by vicks vapor rub.
Province butcher a golden opportunity. TWICE!
Having only ever played front row my whole rugby career, I do not want to sound as if I know anything about the girls in the backline, but why are the WP backs jogging and passing and not running and passing?
