Well, I'm pulling for the Sunwolves and Jaguares simply because they are new and will be seen as underdogs most the season. Though if I had to pick my favorite team to watch, it'd have to be the Chiefs. A bunch of new guys on the team and I love watching their fast pace attacking style of play.
It's a shame there's no English feed for the USA v Brazil match. Former LSU hooker Cam Falcon finally got a spot on the 23 man roster.

Not going to give a spoiler alert because you do NOT want to watch this game.
Wow, USA blew it today. Looks like Argentina will win another Americas Rugby Championship. Let Brazil get out to a big lead early then fought back. Played the old style of typical USA Rugby. Kicking the ball away straight down the middle of the field, kicking away possession in attacking scenarios. Forwards even got pushed around in the scrum and mauls. Add all that on top of a ton of penalties and US going 3/8 or something similar at kicks for points. Bad bad rugby. They even had the victory in hand with time expired, all they had to was kick the ball out of bounds. But instead while going for the bonus try they give up a penalty. Brazil kicks to touch, sets up the maul off the lineout, gets another penalty, and wins the game.
Eta: And one of my former teammates, Cam Falcon, didn't even get to play...

Unacceptable...I did not watch because I thought it would be like the Chile game.

That Blues v Highlanders match was top notch.
If you're wanting to be a better rugby fan, I would recommend watching that game.

I watched four Super Rugby matches over the weekend and that was the best one. Not surprised those New Zealand derby's are some of the best rugby around.
Six Nations looks like its down to England vs Wales. Ireland and especially France in rebuilding mode. Italy edges out Scotland for the wooden spoon.
Can't believe the Eagles got beat by Brazil

Big blow to the Highlanders looks like Waisake Naholo will be out six to eight weeks after re-fracturing his leg.

I'm an Argentina fan, so I'll be watching the Jaguares this season. They looked pretty good this week, that was an entertaining game of running rugby against the Cheetahs. Probably 2nd behind Blues/Highlanders in excitement.

So does Japan (Sunwolves) play Argentina (jagurars) ?
Arenr they like 22 time zones apart??

I'd agree 2nd best match of the weekend. The Chiefs vs Crusaders was good too. I'm gonna try and watch the Bulls vs Sharks later when I get home.
It's so awesome ESPN3 having these games!

I wonder when they will start cracking down on calling the offense for diving over rucks. They've put so much of the burden on the defense to keep the breakdown area clean but the attacking team seems to get away with diving over and sealing the ball illegally.

Hey More Sports Board posters....
Now more so than ever it's a great time to be able to watch and learn all you can about the game of Rugby.
ESPN has really stepped up their game by showing TOP14 (French League) Aviva Premiership (European League) America's Rugby Championship and my favorite Super Rugby (Teams from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Argentina & South Africa)
Now there's no excuses for not becoming a better fan!

Premiership is just English teams only, ESPN3 isn't showing those.
You're thinking of the European Champions Cup which ESPN3 is showing. That's the big euro competition made up of teams from the three big euro leagues Top 14(French), Premiership(English) and Pro 12(Celtic & Italian).
