Re: Official United Rugby Championship thread
Didn't watch the game, but was pretty disappointed to see the result. Aai Sharkies, what the hell man. I simply can't see them winning the Challenge Cup this year. There's something missing, this team should be winning most games, not bloody lose them. Add to that the travel factor and playing in t...

Just watched the first two games on record. Decided (correctly) to sack off the Saints game in favour of checking the score and watching the golf.
