    Just want to say to Neale and everyone who updates this site with info that they are doing a bang-up job. I imagine it's very stressful sorting everything out today but Neale's updates on the teams are very informative, accurate and probs the best thing about this site.

      For context, I checked this afternoon and I think there was maybe one team done. Went back to my job and then checked a little later and every single teamsheet was there. All 20. Just rapid, and so useful to have all the info we need on one page.
