WXV Finals Week 1: Grand Final Rematch, Europe hosts 3 Finals

[roo boys!]

Looks a lot like a side I came up against last week :P

Not to worry, you'll have Toronto players to pick from next week as well.

[Nige]

Oh no...it's happening  :-\  >:(

Henderson out this week with an eye socket injury (of all weeks to injure your eye socket!!) and pedersen dropped? What on earths that about

Turner, Brown and Morris a boost for the reserves but losing Litherland hurts

No Woodward, Dunstan, Laidler or Impey for our reserves.  :(
