WATCH: 'Two locks with a disagreement' - Tensions boil over early between Crusaders and Blues
It was a physical contest early with many players wearing cuts and bruises.
It’s interesting to note that there are two upcoming Barbarians matches. If they will be on Setanta, it’s worth the $15 for the month. I’m assuming there will be no Aussies downunder who will be representing as its the start of the international calender.
Imagine if we see Chris Latham playing in the Barbarians when they play Australia at Wembley Stadium (I think I read it will also be the first ever rugby match there?)
Also, on June 22 in Sydney, rugby fans should get along to the SFS and support Australia A playing Tonga. I was there last year and they gave them a bit of a thumping, though only in the second half. At halftime the score was still close.
Does anyone know anything about the Aussie team going to the Junior World Championships in Wales this month? They look to be in a tough pool with England, Fiji and Canada.
