Season defining win I'd go as far to say. Smashed Seoul two weeks ago at Seoul, and now beaten Rome in Rome. Are the Cobras flag favourites?

I can't believe it IS Zak Butters

I can actually, but I don't think that pun has been done yet. If it has, I don't want to know about it.

That is the SEVENTH 150+ score IN A ROW from NDT. What did I say about Cape Town being flag favourites?
