Hey all, with the NPC (finally!) set to kick off for another year in about an hour, I've written this comprehensive season preview, which covers: A quick recap of last season and this year’s format Who are the favourites? An analysis of the draw, including the three teams every other side doesn’t play, and insights into what your team has to do to get a Ranfurly Shield challenge Squad lists for every squad collected into the same place (somehow I couldn’t find this listed out cleanly anywhere else) Famous surname and returning veteran watch What province does your favourite Super Rugby play for these days? (it's so easy to lose track) Hope you all enjoy - if there’s anything different you’d like to see or any other constructive feedback you’ve got for these going forward, I’m all ears.   submitted by   /u/Eclectic95 [link]   [comments]
