[Scrabster Six]

I get into Johannesburg at 5 in the morning for the first game hope its the Cape as booked internal flight down there, where the f**k is this other place pls?

 

[rayprodigy]

im pleased i havnt booked any flights to cape town, as by the looks of it, the game is gonna be up in polokwane. its right up in the north of the country. havnt been up there for years, but think its about a four or five hour drive from johannesburg. if anyone knows of any reasonable and not very expensive accommodation up there, please let me know, i dont know much about the area. also if anyone knows the condition of the road up there, i will probably drive up on the friday afternoon.
