CONGRATULATIONS

CW offers congrats to the following three men who have been drafted to play for the new west coast professional rugby team - The Highlanders. Ollie Nott went #1, followed by Tom Davidson and Jacob Bossi. We expect to see all three in action at The Mac on Saturday. The League will be followed with great interest. 'onyas chaps.

ADDENDUM. A note to Monday's game report.When editing the blog, I was reminded of the highly respected and talented Meralomas scribe, and good friend, the late Ben Baun. Ben & I had plenty of literary banter over the years. He was a master wordsmith and wag. To son, Aiden, a Canadian International, my thoughts to you, wherever you may be. Thanks for the memories, Ben.
