Brumbies still have an awesome rolling maul, I recall Pocock scoring many times from it and they got three from it today

Superbru is currently offline for maintenance, so none of you can bask in the associated glory of my 2nd Yellow Cap in three weeks. It’s a conspiracy! However, in the public interest* I bring this very important message from Superbru:
Got picks to make?
If it’s possible to wait until we’re back, please do. However, if you are likely to miss Ross County v Motherwell (18:45 UTC) please email your pick to support@superbru.com and we’ll get it added for you.
Looked on a map. The teams appear to be in a barely inhabited part of northern Europe, close to Brexitland.

No offence taken at all, Slade!
Look for an ATL from SBT in the next day or so.

Motherwell’s barely inhabitable (but still not as bad as Wishaw).
Ross County’s in the Arctic Circle.

I am naturally pessimistic though.
No doubt I would watch that 8 Nations malarkey if it did take place, because something is better than nothing, but watching the 6 Nations teams playing against each again feels like doing something just for the sake of it, and perhaps a few extra pennies.
