Star midfielder Gareth Weaver and notverygood player coach Haydos Bots will be attending the pregame press conference on behalf of the team this week.
Hopefully I won't let the team down right at the end this week. With my poor handling skills it'll probably happen all game
We should have a big forwards advantage up front here (if Force keeps his head), especially when the subs come on. Dafter probably my biggest worry in the pack but he should easily show his class up against Ritchie and Smith.
