The catch is that you cannot spend any money, we will be relying on our skills of persuasion to try and hitch a ride or hope that the sight of a girl wearing crutches will make drivers pity us and decide to take us on the ferry. We figured we may as well go full out and set our destination for Australia... Crazy I know...

Last Sunday’s 37-32 success at Rodney Parade meant the Chiefs will top Pool Four regardless of what happens...
