Re: 'Super Rugby' to restart in NZ soon
I for one welcome this development. Kudos to NZ for the exemplary way in which they dealt with the virus. I gladly welcome the idea of finally having rugby back on the TV on a Saturday, even if it is only teams from the 3rd best test side in the world. How did your pool game go against the spiritua...

Wales would have be Beached as Bro against the Blackness. The only thing that saved France in that game was the ref who gave them every opportunity to snatch a undeserved win.
