My aching sack, it is going to be an absolutely EPIC weekend in London. Given prices for single big games, those 3 day pass prices actually seem OK. Chunky for sure, but in terms of value, pretty good ...

It's the 8 poond pints and compulsory match day pies that will add up over 3 days, of course!! Matches are split so that the Bok and All Black games will NOT be on the same day ... depending on final rankings, 1 on Saturday, the other on Sunday

As we ease into the November break it's Cobus who continues to lease the FRG Bru pool. Shout out to yellow cap Frans Beets on his GSP round ... Catch you in December

Pig dog ugly in the Thomond Park rain, but that's a seriously impressive win from the Sharks ... As with all the SA sides, Set piece the cornerstone on which the win was built

Impressive from a few, especially Roos. But how tremendous was the scrum to get it going ...

Big day for young Altus Rabe, who was a key cog in the recent Bolts campaign ... comes onto the Storm bench after Bongi did his calf at captains yesterday ... The young man can throw a pill!!
