Zoom

This Saturday sees the Phants travelling over to Big Brother territory in Hanoi to tackle the Vietnam Swans in the first international encounter for the Phants in over 9 months.

Despite a long stuggle to get on the international field again, the Phants are brissling with the type of enthusiasm that only a bunch of young Phants taking on some significantly older, larger Swans can be. Pres is even returning from a month-long wine and cheese purchasing tour through the Loire Valley to have a dip.

First bounce at the incredibly sensible and heat-restricted hour of 12pm, Xuan La Stadium, West Lake Road, Ciputra. The match is a memorial game in honour of Austrade Trade Commissioner, Mr Craig Senger, who died in the recent bombings in Jakarta. Craig was a passionate member of the Bintangs and Australian Embassy and other staff in Hanoi are attendint the game as a tribute.

Coach has put forward the starting line up:

B: Thommo Frenchy

HB: Phil Hunstman Pres

C: Sai Snakes Mark

HF: Langas Tricky

F: Souk (It's) Aisey (fwd rucking)

Foll: Boris (floating kick behind) Wil Coach

I/C: Julius Phisay Roger Pauly others x 2 (hope so...)
