Le performance de Joe McCarthy c'est f**king enorme Thought he was MotM. At the heart of an enormously physical performance. Saved a dumb penalty until he was knackered and it didn't matter. Incredible appetite to hit people. And we ran a short lineout play with his carrying in midfield off it. :lol:

That was a pool match, and genuinely worthless. We do still need to win this game to progress.

When is the semi?
Quite a few semis in the Aviva already
