This weekend in Super Rugby there are NO SOUTH AFRICAN, JAPANESE or ARGENTINIAN franchises playing, only NEW ZEALAND and AUSTRALIAN franchises.

We have only 1 game today and only 4 games on Saturday, with the 1st Saturday game very, very, very early, at 04:35 SA Time.

Of course the British & Irish Lions 2017 tour to New Zealand also kicks off, with a game against the New Zealand Barbarians, at 09:35 SA Time.
