I have no loyalty towards Brad Barrit, as far as I’m concerned he is an Englishman… Rhodes also… and Schalk Brits is now a journeyman…

Munster 41/16 Toulouse; CJ Stander scored a try for Munster who have been doing well this season with Rassie Erasmus part of the set up there

Try Gordon, Tahs!

@ grootblousmile:
Hi Gbs and CJ is Irish now. Schalk Brits has been at Sarries for a long time done very well there, quite possibly in the twilight of his career but wouldn’t say he was a journeyman as such.
