A ll the eams updated - but 18 hours to late/

There’s been some good matches this weekend, in spite of the weather conditions in Britain and Ireland. 

My Saints team were playing in a real storm but managed to put together a decent game against Castres. 

They travel to the Bulls this weekend so that will be an interesting match up. 

Tell em to pack their sunblock.

Ha ha ha ! 

Given the weather here,they’ll love a bit of sunshine.
