The selection trap the British and Irish Lions must avoid

This British and Irish Lions tour year provides some real conundrums for the travelling coach, who needs to decide on players with either history or form.

Another season, another competition, and another set of law changes for the newly formed Rainbow Cup involving teams from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and (hopefully) South Africa.

The Waratahs have finally reached into the coffers to unveil the first of their marquee signings for the 2022 season, announcing that damaging backrower Rahboni Warren-Vosayaco will be joining the men in blue on their redemption mission following what will almost certainly be a disappointing season for fans and the team alike.

Chiefs win a cliffhanger over the Highlanders

The Highlanders and the Chiefs both came off victories in their previous matches. A win on Saturday would help both teams in the Super Rugby Aotearoa competition. Boy, oh boy, did this match deliver or what?

Can New South Wales solve its crowds crisis?

With all that has happened to the Waratahs in 2021 so far, from suffering six defeats in a row to sacking coach Rob Penney midseason, it seems the fact that hardly anyone is going to matches at all, is being overlooked by many.
