Can the Kiwis support five teams?
Season 1, Ep. 15
•
From the studio that brought you "Pick & Drive" comes SCRUMBAGS - your one stop shop for everything Aussie Rugby!
New Zealand’s depth is again called to question as Australia rule the SRP top six - should the Kiwis be forced into dropping a team after their horror start? Perhaps the Blues could play NPC?
Meanwhile it’s wet dream stuff for Mitch and Lachie after the Tahs and Reds bank important wins while the Force earn their flowers after a 52-15 thumping of Fijian Drua.
The boys also break down the penultimate round of Super Rugby Women’s with Tahs in the box seat to wrap up the minor premiership after the Force’s bonus-point win while ACT’s season is all but over following their home loss to Queensland.
It’s also SRP form XV time with Aussie sides fielding the lion’s share!
