Every week during the Super 14 season G&GR will take a look at the key plays and players of the week just had. We can be a myopic lot here at G&GR sometimes, so no point stopping now.
Let’s make it clear. Our focus is the Wallabies, so these reviews […]

Alfi Mafi congratulates Adam Ashley-Cooper on another Brumby FC goal!
