so, rugby league?

@mariner4life for the first test of the year I thought the rugby was good.

I thought before the yellow card the french defense was very good and the ABs lacked ball runners.

I didn't say the yellow card was an excuse but the card ended up having a huge impact on the game. Take the card out of the equation and I don't think we "fucking murder them" in the end.
