There has also been many instances in the tour events where the top teams have only fielded a 8 or 9 strong team. (Maybe red just need to work on their fitness...) I do agree that something needs to be done about the tour, but ostricising players because of their financial position does nothing to improve the quality of british ultimate. Just my tuppence worth (as I feel there will be a collection of coppers soon) Nicole mohawks
