Sorry folks.
This was a piss poor effort from me, bt I am on my tablet and really bttle with updting the header.
Scrudown you owe me scotch and soda.
Coenie, Jantjies, CJ Van Der Linde and Jaco Taute added to Bok squad.
My word, does HM no nothing about props? First Greyling now Van Der Linde.
Did he not realise that CJ can’t even make the Lions starting team?
He is muppet.
GBS, I was about to edit the header from my PC.
Thanks.
