QuoteAbout the weather thing, itll be November till the playoffs. Dont know what the weather down there is like in November, but surely we cant use the humidity as an excuse? Have to get our good friend Gerald Fleming onto that one.
As well as that, these are largely unknown teams, no one knows how good they are. if we get ****y they could capitalise on that.

Imagine the Thai/Iraqi national teams freezing their arses off at Lansdowne in November!
Our millionaire footballers spend half their time in holidays in the sun, they should be well used to it by now.
Fair point... if its raining that day... the Iraqis wont know whats going on..
it might be a 9-0 onslaught!
Que sera sera,
whatever will be will be,
we’re off to Saddam’s country,
que sera sera!
How will the Green Army manage for the black stuff over there! We'll have to do things like admire the scenery and take walks and stuff like that.. zz..... Didnt Saddam's son play for Iraq as a goalie at one stage?
