Hello hello, it has been a while. Not for a lack of work, mind you, as there are always lots of ideas and posts in the works, and the rugby calendar never ends. But had some other stuff going on, life, ya know.
I have been enjoying this Super Rugby season, with the World Cup approaching and an influx of players coming back to stake a claim in the national sides along with those already here pushing for selection, we have seen some tantalizing rugby so far. The New Zealand conference, as always, is competitive and the battle at the top of the South African and Australian groups has been enjoyable to watch.
One of the issues every team faces throughout the season is injuries, and while some teams get lucky and have good health for the key players, some never even get the chance to run their preferred XV onto the field, and bank their season on players who would otherwise be on the reserves bench.
