Here is Sam Cane in Bali recovering from his recent neck surgery.

Meanwhile, Wayne Bennett sure seems to be excited to be coaching Souths.

The drawn out sage of the Libertadores Cup 2018.  Third time lucky and Boca Juniors quietly head to the airport for their trip to Madrid.

From the archives; Ben Stokes as a 19 year old.  Bless.

Thinking back to when the full glory of when Thames Valley won the Meads Cup.
