I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. ESPN3 covering Super Rugby is the best thing to ever happen for American rugby viewers. Thursday night/ Friday morning, glass of whiskey, rugby on TV. The good life.

Exeter Chiefs vs. Wasps and Toulon vs. Racing 92 were both solid games. A week off this week then the Semi Finals the following week.


Best game of the weekend though was the Chiefs vs Blues. No surprise, New Zealand Rugby.

Best game I thought was Connacht-Grenoble in Challenge Cup final. What a game. You can catch it on ESPN.

I'll check it out. Connacht has really been punching above their weight as of late. Grenoble has always been right on the edge it seems from being more than just a middling team in the Top 14.

Stormers vs Lions match from this weekend lived up to the billing. 2nd and 3rd teams overall on the table going at it so check it out if y'all get a chance.


This coming weekend is the Semi Finals for the European Champions Cup.

Not a bad start for PRO Rugby. The Sacramento v San Francisco game was actually pretty good with some solid players on both sides. Obviously the game moves a bit slower than Super Rugby, but it's a step in the right direction.

This week we get the Jaguares vs. Sunwolves match we've been waiting for. Jaguares being the better team should take it but with two new squads who knows.


Chiefs vs. Hurricanes is the biggest Super Rugby match of the weekend. 1st place versus 6th on the table.

Sunday Crusaders vs. Brumbies 4th and 5th placed teams respectively.


And of course the European Champions Cup Semi Final Matches:


4/23
10:00 AM EDT
Wasps vs. Saracens (Semifinal) (European Champions Cup)


4/24
10:15 AM EDT
Racing 92 vs. Leicester Tigers (Semifinal) (European Champions Cup)

Twickenham could host Bledisloe Cup match?

In 2020 (maybe)

quote:

The opportunity to host the match away from it’s normal venues comes as Sydney’s ANZ Stadium is scheduled for redevelopment in 2018.


quote:

The Australian Rugby Union have confirmed that they are looking at options of where to host the match but a rematch of the 2015 Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham would be a big money spinner for the ARU.

This would not be the first time that a Bledisloe Cup match has been played outside of Australia or New Zealand as Hong Kong and Tokyo have been used but these matches were additional matches to the normal three match series.

It's that time of year again. Time for the June Test Matches.

Here's the schedule for the first weekend. All games will be streamed on ESPN3.


I look forward to possibly seeing some new players out there. This is when many future stars make their debuts. Should be some great rugby.

Wales v New Zealand live right now. Great game so far. Wales is capitalizing on all of the All-Black mistakes.

These June tests are some of my favorite rugby matches to watch. It's awesome seeing the North Hemisphere vs South Hemisphere contrast in play style.

Australia v. England was fantastic!

Little sloppy, on both sides, but the finished product was a top notch.

I'm so excited we can watch these matches and even rewatch on demand thanks to ESPN(3)!!!!!!
