Reindeers Are Coming

New York, and its new coach AaronKirk, put in a decent effort. And with a decent ruck in reserves in Lycett, hopefully they can finish the season with a positive.

You guys wish, Marseille the faves by far I'd imagine ;).

Think that's our largest score for PNL ever, happy to be corrected though Oss! Still to play Mexico and Dublin so we're hoping we can cause another upset and earn that top 4 spot :D.
