Good luck CF.

Puma Progress

Houli, Harwood, Roberton, Buntine
Ablett, Sloane, Masten, Duncan
Minson (C)
Walker, Roughead 118, Gunston 102, Whitecross 58
Jacobs, Adams

Total - 278/3

Relatively happy with that start. Roughy was great all night and Gunston had a superb last quarter. Whitecross rather disappointing though. However if I had been given the choice to be on 278 after having 3 forwards play I would have taken it :)

Going to be a big day today, with Mexico City having 11 players in todays games. After today they will only have Sidebottom as captain remaining, so hopefully they aren't too far ahead before the Sunday games start. I have got 8 playing today and 4 (Minson (C), Ablett, Adams, Buntine) playing tomorrow.

Couldn't ask for a tenser start to this game, this may just be an epic grand final  :o

Hey Oz, I know I'm just an assistant this week for Americas hence didn't name the team, but even though he scored pretty well with the vest last week I've got a feeling chappy could start in green again, so would be tempted to play Cloke or Ryder instead of him. Open to discussion with the other coaches though
