[roo boys!]

Look forward to joining you in the Americas next week Alex! Pendles probably the only player you'd be interested in from Toronto though...  ::) Nah may be a couple that could get a run.

Hoping that at least the reserves got up...with all 3 of my emergencies used though may be a little tight

Yup! Also Buenos Aires

[Jukes]

If I named Josh Thomas or Darling over Sexton I'd have won. FMWXV

With Cairo and Berlin the highest scorers, feel anyone can win the flag!

Insipid performance caps off what has been a terrible year. Congrats to Purple however!

Going to be a dramatic off-season I feel.
