Bench won it for them.
We are about 4/5 players away from the next level. Happy with the performance, we also lacked a bit of nous and experience.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
It quite common to have discrepancies between them with 1 day lag but usually on a weekly basis they are inline.
There may also be cases that have to do two tests (close contacts) but obviously they are one one case.
