    Great game, well played both sides. Amazing that “Mohawk” Freuan who had a sublime game on attack stands little chance of making the AB’s.

    Yes indeed… Sader’s pretty much back to 5th gear in the season and Tahs shifting into 4th…

    Freuen will get capped… he’s only 23 and at 1.90m 110kgs with pace, power and stepping he’ll get a run at wing or 13 soon enough…
