saints used their second team against bedok town and SJI.jerry and sean and more reserves were in the starting lineout against sji and bedok town.However, saints had used their first team against ACS(BR) comprising of many of last year’s b division champion team. this had actually drastically affected acs br semi final running. Acs(BR) had beaten bedok town whom have beaten SJI.so doesnt this say something?
