It is going ahead, shame it'll overlap the football but if it's a good game the football can wait. | |

Navidi Mom for me outstanding game notable mentions for Beard and Adams, I won't argue with the choice of MOM being Van der Merwe though, took his tries very well. |  |

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

On this we agree.
It is now ludicrous
That the Bokke might play is stupidity itself. I wouldnt want to be in a front row close up to 3 people who are facing a massive issue with covd.It is rampant there.
Frankly,I think the players themselves should refuse to play and save their health. | |

Its his ability in the loose that gets him the vote and the plaudits, you're spot on, on his scrummaging is technique is awful. | |
