Swans Show Greatness
You’ve got to wonder about the mentality of the Swans when their star player pulls out of the tournament to go shopping for ‘outback tan’ boots in Australia yet here they prevailed as the captain’s pre-tournament words become prophetic:
“It won’t be anything close to our best but that won’t be necessary to dump all over this mediocre field.”

Sliver Shaw, Black Rs, Oosef Ahmed Loveridge, Mick Fightless, Te Wahi Pounamu Trail and Fresh Meates together with the black-necked Croatian swan Corscoroba Millichip have done it again.
