The Punt #40

James won in a big way last week to extend his lead at the top. Even though it’s still early in the year, the rest of the crew are going to have to work hard to chase him down. Adrian is still the only punter in the red… Can he possibly get himself into positive figures soon?

Well it seems someone was reading my blog! Round 2 still contained the drama and tight finishes, with the major point of difference being there were far more tries this round. What is more impressive is the manner in which they were executed. Maybe it was rustiness that prevented this being shown in the opening round, but this is what we have been waiting for ever since the end of the World Cup. Read more…
