abroad access accounts forced games guys holidays side
With the new C&G format, by all accounts those games will be at weekends. So hopefully, we will have more access to our first-choice side which is something we haven't had this year. Guys won't be forced to use up as many holidays to play and that frees up other opportunities to go abroad and play.
