Looks like its been a very good start for SA here, will be interested to hear how de Kock does and also Morris, if I’m not mistaken its debuts for them both or has Morris played for SA before?
I will go in again when I know ur done and have a look and see what changes you made if any
@ Bullscot:

38 @ Sharks_forever:
Ahh ok thanks Sharky didn’t follow that one too closely so thats why wasn’t sure if Morris had played for SA before, hope he has a good game tonight, cheers for now
