The 2020/21 PRO Rugby season kicked off last night. The Champions, Leinster, have barely shaken off their hang-overs having lifted the PRO14 trophy for the 2019/20 season less than a month ago in Dublin.
Zebre hosted Cardiff Blues in the first match of the season. The Blues will return home with a victory under their belts. This in spite of a red card issued in the 43rd minute to their number 8 Josh Turnbull for what has been described in some quarters as a ‘Farrell-esque’ tackle on Zebre’s Maxime Mbanda. A reported 1000 spectators attended the match in the stadium which has a capacity of 5000.
There were wins for last seasons Finalists as Ulster eventually ran out as winners against Benetton in a match that was squared at 21 all at half time.

Hi,
After what seems like an eternity in this strange and uncomfortable COVID World, South African Rugby is finally happening again, with the first matches in the Super Rugby Unlocked 2020 series happening this afternoon, 26 September 2020 at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria. The Griquas and Toyota Cheetahs also take each other on today.
The 2 Matches at Loftus Versfeld, are between the Vodacom Bulls vs Cell C Sharks (16:30 SA Time) and the Emirates Lions vs DHL Stormers (19:00 SA Time). Both Matches will be broadcast LIVE on DSTV in South Africa.
Winger Darcy Graham and flanker Magnus Bradbury return from injury as Edinburgh make 10 changes for Friday’s return match with Glasgow.
Edinburgh, who clinched a Pro14 home semi-final with last weekend’s 30-15 win, hand a first start to fly-half Nathan Chamberlain.
Glasgow make three alterations, with Huw Jones continuing at full-back.
George Horne replaces Ali Price at scrum-half, with Tom Gordon and Stafford McDowall also called up.
Rob Harley drops out as Gordon starts at openside, allowing Matt Fagerson to shift to number eight and Ryan Wilson to take the number six jersey.
Centre McDowall takes over from Peter Horne.
With a place in the last four against Ulster to plan for, Edinburgh coach Richard Cockerill gives Charlie Shiel a start at scrum-half and Jamie Hodgson replaces the injured Grant Gilchrist in the second-row.
Simon Berghan, Nick Haining, Pierre Schoeman, Mike Willemse and James Johnstone are the other men coming into the starting XV.
“We’ve got a good squad with plenty of depth, so it’s a great chance to blood some new players and give them some experience playing in a derby match,” said Cockerill, who has named three untested academy players on his bench.
“We’re also looking after our squad and some of those key guys who are important to the way we play. We want as full and as fit a compliment of players as we can going into the semi-final.”
Captain Fraser Brown will make his 100th Glasgow appearance at Murrayfield, with 700 spectators in attendance for Scotland’s first Covid-19 test event.
“We’ve got one eye on the start of the new season and we know that squad depth is going to be tested more than ever, so it’s another chance for us to look at certain players and combinations,” said head coach Danny Wilson.
“At the same time, though, it’s all about continuing to gel and grow as a squad, and we’re looking to build some momentum.”
Edinburgh: Kinghorn, Graham, Johnstone, Dean, Van der Merwe, Chamberlain, Shiel; Schoeman, Willemse, Berghan, Haining, Hodgson, Bradbury, Watson, Mata.
Replacements: McInally, Sutherland, Nell, Sykes, Crosbie, Frostwick, Van der Walt, Gordon.
Glasgow Warriors: Jones, Seymour, Grigg, McDowall, Tagive, Hastings, G Horne; Kebble, Brown, Z Fagerson, Gray, Cummings, Wilson, Gordon, M Fagerson.
Replacements: Turner, Chapps, Pieretto, Harley, Fusaro, Price, P Horne, Nairn.

The English Premiership started last weekend after a lengthy break due to restrictions imposed as a result of the Covid-19 virus. Domestic rugby competitions under the guise of ‘Super Rugby’ have been taking place in Australia and New Zealand. However the real rugby competition resumes tonight in Italy as Benetton and Zebre play the first of their two derby games in the re-jigged PRO14.
Clubs from 4 of the 5 nations taking part in the PRO14 will be in action this weekend, albeit in stadiums devoid of fans due to ongoing restrictions. When the South African teams, the Kings and the Cheetahs, play their next games remains a mystery. The PRO14 organizers will no doubt be pleased though that whether the Kings and Cheetahs play again this season or not it won’t make a difference to the knockout stages as neither team are in the running to get there. Had it still been possible for these teams to get to the Semi-Finals it could have posed a headache for the PRO14 with all the travel restrictions making it unlikely or very difficult for them to take part in knockout games.
The #BullsFamily is excited to confirm that current Managing Director of Ellis Park Stadium (Pty) Ltd, Edgar Rathbone, will be taking over the reigns as CEO of the Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd following the resignation of Alfons Meyer.
Rathbone, who will officially start at the Vodacom Bulls on 1 June 2020, is no stranger to the rugby environment. He has been a pillar and servant to the Lions Rugby Company and Ellis Park for the last seven years, starting his rugby journey as head of Finance and Administration in 2013.
In 2014, he was appointed Chief Financial Officer holding the position for two years, before becoming Chief Financial and Commercial Officer in 2016.
In 2017, he was appointed as the managing Director of Ellis Park Stadium, responsible for managing the Ellis Park precinct which includes Emirates Airline Park, Johannesburg Stadium and Ellis Park Indoor Arena as well as being the commercial arm of Lions Rugby Company.
