Congrats to James Charton (aka Jambles) for his yellow cap in the Front Row Grunt Superbru pool this weekend – 7 correct picks, 6 of them with margin points! But it’s still Brendan Wainwright (aka Bubbles25) who leads the pack with over 100 log points. Tank’s 4 from 7 saw him drop 25 places to 306th on the log – pretty damn average!
NO Southern Suburbs boys in the Craven Week Team???
Must be the first time in a log time, but Gym, PBS and Paul Roos have been dominating. Can’t be too many arguments …
Phew must be hard as a rugby player not schooling in Paarl these days.
Wynberg have a good side this year losing (was it 10-14 to Gym) A nailbiter and not one of these players are good enough. Sounds strange to me.
And not one westrander in the Craven week selection…are they playing something else in Krugersdorp,Florida and ‘Randfountain”excuse me!
