Astonishing backstory to young gun's 'Forklift' nickname
Five rounds into Super Rugby Pacific and it looks like we’ve got ourselves the most unpredictable competition in a long, long time.
Up is down for the winless Crusaders, Moana Pasifika have jagged a couple of wins, and the Aussie sides – touch wood – have parked their bunny status against New Zealand opponents.
It’s all looking very promising and with Super Rugby Women’s underway, the Hong Kong Sevens around the corner, and club rugby on the way, there’s enough good stuff to keep everyone happy.
