Re: Britain in recession - so much winning by Tories

Isn't it currently policy that Foreign Students can bring their immediate families across with them? Think that's what is currently drawing many peoples complaints.

Sharks vs Stormers SR 2020

12 Seconds in and a Stormers player is off into the bin for contact in the air. Very lucky not to be a red card.

To be fair I’ve not really been impressed by the team since the first warm up match. They’ve looked laboured, though some players have stood out a lot more than others. We know how good this team can be but “Plan A” hasn’t seemed to be working for a while and when it doesn’t work we lack the “Plan B...
