dropping George Smith ? is that a good call

 

[Onozawa365]

not to bothered with the wild knights team but i think JP Pietersen needs to start.

 

[Japanese_Hero]

why should JP Pietersen start ? Yamada is playing well and so is Kitagawa they dont deserve to be dropped when they're playing good rugby

 

[Yoichi]

dropping George Smith ? is that a good call

he's getting old time to bring up some new back rowers

and im happy with the Brave Lupus team looking forward to this

and im happy with the Brave Lupus team looking forward to this

are you sure, cause personally i think that Richard Kahui should be in the squad, and where is Shota Horie and Tanaka ?

 

[yt1993]

shota horie is in australia playing in the Super 15 and Tanaka is in new zealand also playing in the super 15

 

[Onozawa365]

25 - 24 to Brave Lupus wow what a shock! tries from Aruga, Tui and du Preez for suntory with Nicholas's successful conversions but missed a penalty. and bates getting 2 tries and brave lupus also got a penalty try and ogawa missed one conversion but got 2 penalty's which changed the match

 

[Japanese_Hero]

well im guessing your happy with the scores
