A coupla things.

  1. Glad Jake White wore longs today. Chilly up here and I’m getting tired of looking at those meat stumps.\n\n
  2. Jake is doing a good job of keeping his defence strategy a top secret. Even the Bulls players don’t know what it is. Very poor defence structure. Non-existent even. Frustrating to watch.
Benetton were slippery today. Played well to end their URC campaign.

Jake, focus on your job bru.
