Uk broadcast is online through Salazar. £50 for the whole season.

Think I’ll go with the dodgy streams.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

“I would have relished an opportunity to play in such a competition,” said the retired Mtawarira, a man with 117 Tests to his credit and third on the Bok all-time list.

He added that the challenges of playing in Super Rugby far outweigh the advantages of competing in the URC.

“We had to travel 24 hours just to get to New Zealand,” he said, adding that it always took a week to get over the jet lag.

“Now you get to travel in the same time zone.

“The [type of] game itself suits us as players – the Sharks, Lions, Bulls and Stormers.

“We like to play a forward orientated game and it really works for us.

“It is a great move that we have done.

“Just a pity that I am not playing anymore.”

Not nearly as ragged as one would expect from the first match of the new season.

Chiefs ahead 18-6 at HT despite a seriously malfunctioning lineout.

Really enjoying the quicker set pieces.

That young Roe has got a future in this game, good to see a couple of pretty good young 9s.
Good first up game, teams will start getting rid of rust!
