[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 795684, member: 39190"] Glad Racing got in for teh win. I thought we were hard(ish) done by in last year's QF. At least more so than this match. The intial pass to Machenaud clearly was forward and despite play continuing it was only 1 phase so fair's fair even if I thought it would have been a cracking try for Goosen who impressed me playing at 13. I always saw him as made of glass so Laurent was daring IMO to play him at 13. Can't not select Carter an Dulin though. It was a risk signing Carter but its been paying dividends for sure and in the T14 as well we've looked half the team without him. I say if he plays the entire final its ours. His game management in what should be a tight game is without flaw and we have the defense to back it up. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Glad Racing got in for teh win.
