Nations Championship

Great day of international rugby 

ABs v France in their brand new stadium in Christchurch. DuPont has bottled it again and won’t be playing France have a chance as they have taken a strong squad

SA v England tough match for the Boks because they are notoriously slow starters to a season often losing their first match only to come back and win the whole thing Do expect Bok tears tonight

Australia v Ireland  Should be close, Ireland will be happy that in this comp there is no quarter final. 

Japan v vastly improved Italy hopefully a good game with the home side to edge it

Wales v Fiji pity that Goji have chosen to play their home matches away but it will benefit them financially which will help grassroots 

Argentina v Scotland this match rounds off the day and will be a good one to watch 

Great days rugby ahead 

NZ 34 France 32

great match with plenty of new faces These two will be well primed come the WC 

Japan 27 Italy 10
 

Australia 31 Ireland 33

Aussies miss last kick of the match to win the match. Ireland celebrating as if they have won the WC 

Fiji 24 Wales 39 in a bruising encounter 

Gone with Marx to score the first try 9/1

As mentioned boks to win by 20 good start 👍

Boks hammered the Aussies 22-0 in the first half last year but managed to lose. Boks need to score a few more tries 

England now back in it at half time  They are starting to really click Can’t see the Boks getting out of this after leading 17-0 after 12 minutes 

Incredible opening day so far

Hope that Scotland can put in a shift 
 

Must say enjoying rugby 🏉 more than football these days
