Thanks for your analysis. I generally only watch US Major League, but greatly enjoyed watching the World Cup last year.

You should try watching the NZ NPC - it comes after the end of the MLR season, a bunch of the kiwi players come back & play for their provinces and the style of rugby is fairly similar, with plenty of afternoon games on. Its not the tippy top of skill but that's kinda what makes the games more fun - defenses aren't impermeable, players try stuff and sometimes don't get away with it, sometimes do, its great fun!

Its by far my favourite comp. For me Super Rugby is pre-season for the NPC when I have a team within 20 minutes drive, rather than 5 hours.
