It won't be an easy game but with two games already under your belt, you guys should be able to lift the intensity and combinations should be gelled together. Good to see Johnston, Polu & Williams in the starting line up as well as Faosiliva and Thompson in the reserves. Go the Manu!! Write comment Name Email Title Comment
