We could use it as our own Rhinos supporters thread and keep all the other riff raff out :D
<celebritydeathmatch>I'll allow it!</celebritydeathmatch> Franchise-specific banter threads will probably turn out to be a good thing

...but keep match-related posts to the relevant match threads. I have an itchy lock finger. Don't make me use it! :)

Glad you could drop in today dylan, that means all four of us have touched base on the first day, i'm sure we will have many more supporters joining us when they realise that the Rhinos are way out front :D

Good starts for Vusi Sibanda and Friday Kasteni today, let's hope we can move on from there on the 2nd day.

It will be interesting to see some proper reports or the scorecard, if Vusi Sibanda got 130, Friday Kasteni 67 was it ?, and Graeme Cremer 62, then the rest didn't do very much, either that or only one of the 60's is correct.

I have great hopes for the spin twins, Brighton Mugochi and Cremer, especially if Ed Rainsford, Taurai Muzarabani and i guess Michael Chinouya, can make the breakthroughs, not sure about the length of our tail though.

Our 1st XI, i would have thought that it would be

Sibanda, Chapungu, Chinouya, Cremer, Kasteni, Mahlunge, Mugochi, Muzarabani, Rainsford, Waller & Nyathi/Mire for this game with Taylor for Nyathi/Mire as soon as he's available.

With the number of players that aren't yet signed up to franchises, i'd hope that we are still to make some more signings, my wish list would include the likes of Dion Ebrahim and Tinash Panyangara with the likes of Steady Musoso, who seemed to be making progress last season, for the future.

When the National side are together we'll have some big gaps with Sibanda, Cremer, Rainsford, Waller and Taylor away, it will be interesting to see whether the likes of Nyathi and Mire are up to the task.

Thanks to maehara we have ZC day 2 updates on the match threads of both games.

Excellent news for all rampant Rhinos, we have got Tuskers 8 down and still 95 behind at this stage with Graeme Cremer taking 4 wickets so far. A good first 2 days, hopefully the beginning of many good days :D
