This offers zero preparation for playing England, Ireland and France away on consecutive weeks.

It's also kinda boring if I'm honest.

ACT Crusader

Great falcon by our captain.

Tim

@Jet Yeah, trying to score of every play isn't much of an examination.

sparky

We're all about the highlights reel. All icing, no cake.

No guard at the ruck.
