In this episode we will cover a wild Bledisloe Cup game in Sydney and wonder what might have been for the ABs after Argentina’s shocker against South Africa! We’ll also cover the opening weekend of the URC which contained a slew of CLOSE games, including a shocker in Ulster, but NO games in South Africa as the mystery there deepens. Finally we will head to New Zealand, where the provincial postseason takes shape for the men and is already in full swing for the women. Bloopers are at the end! Enjoy!
