Aviva Premiership Preview – Newcastle
It must take real strength to be a Newcastle fan. It’s been more than a decade since they sat anywhere in the top half of the table.
Aviva Premiership Preview – Wasps
Wasps are past due for a resurgence. Since their surprise victory in 2008 they haven’t finished higher than 5th and just barely avoided relegation in 2012.
Aviva Premiership Preview – Northampton
Saints took home a double last season, winning the Challenge Cup but more importantly claiming the big prize – the Premiership title – at Twickenham.
Aviva Premiership Preview – Bath
It was a good season for Bath. In spite of some off-field disruptions, they came within a whisker of a playoff place and made the Challenge Cup final.
Canada vs Argentina 1996
Time for some classic rugby, another from the 1996 Pan-Am Series held in Ontario. This is the final, featuring the Pumas of Argentina and hosts Canada.
Team Of The Week
We could make this easy and just pick the entire All Black XV, but that wouldn’t be much fun, or very fair to some other standouts.
Springboks Escape In Salta
Argentina came desperately close to claiming their first ever victory in the Championship, losing to the boot of Morné Steyn with history in their sights.
All Blacks Thump Wallabies
Some nice weather and a week to work out the kinks evidently works wonders. The All Blacks left no debate as to who would be taking home the Bledisloe Cup.
Team Of The Week
It was a dreadful week of weather, and consequently the rugby was nearly as awful. Nevertheless a team must be pulled from the wreckage.
Wolf Pack Devour Bears Again
A week on and this time in the Bears’ dwelling, but the result was the same, worse in fact, as the Wolf Pack embarrassed their hosts in CRC action on Saturday.
