Lets all just be thankful that Sam Tomkins brother has managed to recover from his 'serious' injury, and is now fit to play at the weekend.

"He's a sick boy and he's in a bad way. Slurred speech, blurred vision and when the barmaid refused to serve him, jeez..." said Tim Sheens. Maybe.

Every player escapes serious injury, or in some very sad cases, dying, each and every time they walk off the park once the hooter blows. I get your tongue in cheek remark, though.

Wolfpack and Toulouse were required to pay 500K bonds to participate. Wolfpack refused and were kicked out of the CC this year. No doubt, later in the year, someone will moan that Toronto are favoured by being able to rest while other clubs play CC matches.
