Hopefully I do not score in the corner as it make the conversion more diificult to cross the line.

Re: Rugby Championship - to be in Aus...
It is an election so lots of posturing to he had.
The RC championship in OZ is not a cert in any case as COVID and SA availability are major flys in the ointment.
NZ may have to another round of Soup Aoteroa, if the NZRU can afford it, but without the crowds is a huge barrier.
