    Maybe one for where the actual countries come as well - that's more important to me anyway than who does better than who within the SA team.

    Just spoke to Philip. They are at the opening dinner and in high spirits.
    They have had a few days to practise and have been catching fish but say it is very hard. They have two more days before the comp starts. He says the team is positive and committed to working hard.

    If I hear anything more will let you know.

    Thanx Mike, please keep us posted as you hear anything more. If they have two days left then it would probably be practice days hope they have the luck of figuring out what works, then again they have at least one angler that has just been through it all that should have more knowledge.

    Low Water Levels! How many Cape stream anglers have we got in the team?

    Just Philip i think? My vote will definately go to him then!
