The first World Cup in 1987 brought 16 teams together from all around the globe, with every continent represented, in an entirely unprecedented festival of international rugby in what was still, technically, the amateur era with its four-point tries.
Michael O’Connor’s phone rang as he was rolling around Noosa Springs golf course on a humid Wednesday in November. Noting the name on the screen, he looked at his mate in the cart beside him, and said: “I better take this.”
Super Rugby was back on our screens with aplomb this weekend, serving up some tight nail-biters and some real white-washings. Thoroughly enjoyable all-round.
I read the article from Spiro Zavos on Monday on The Roar and it really hit a nerve for me.
The final five minutes of the Waratahs’ opening Super Rugby fixture against the Hurricanes felt inevitable and worryingly familiar.
The Stormers are only one game into their 2019 Super Rugby campaign and their apathetic loss showed you reap what you sow.
It’s been a long few years for the Bulls, but if Sunday morning’s game is anything to go by, they will at least be right up there with their South African opponents.
Wales are being touted as a team with the conviction to go all the way in Tokyo later this year.

Round 1 is in the books, and it’s time to take a (very early) look at which teams are peforming and which aren’t in season 2019. Every week I’ll try to ride the fluctuations and present a 1-through-15 ladder of which teams are kicking goals, and which sides are destined for an early exit. 1. […]
After all those weekends of having to pretend to be excited about doing stuff with friends and family, Super Rugby is finally back and we can gorge ourselves on round after round of great rugby… and the Sunwolves.
