Easy to be happy with it now though. Wait till they are on multiple flights totalling over 12 hours one way, to a dusty, scorching hot, empty stadium in a country that hasn't got a handle on COVID. Then go back again and repeat in a few weeks. -

Missed this before posting on the other thread. Naholo has had a horror show injury wise. Matu’u has been okay, but has copped two reds (and bans) for high shots this season.
