The Chewsday Chew
The Chewsday ChewHello Cobbers, I hope we’re feeling fighting fit, peachy keen and pumped for another week. Naturally, we all wish Connor and his family and loved ones all the very best in whatever they choose to do. Nor am I calling for Andrew Makalio or Shannon Frizell to be charged or pursued outside the rugby world with anything. Can anyone even remotely involved with our game say they do not have heightened awareness of head/high-contact issues these days? There’s a bit to chew on over breakfast or coffee.
