4pm then 10pm UK timing wise. And both matches look to be thrillers on paper. I'll be checking them both out for sure. Predictions of the boks by 13 and los pumas by 8 for me, but could easily go the other way for both fixtures or be under 3 the difference both games too!

Just realised club rugby is back in Scotland tomorrow too, so think only 2nd half for me early match

NPC has been great these first 4 weekends in NZ; so many fun games to watch. I know a lot of the rest of the world will never get on board with it, but the way NZR have adopted the rule interpretations and got referees to keep the game moving has been so refreshing - even more so than Super Rugby was this year. So far the only big delay in coverage was last night's Tasman v BoP match where a lightning storm knocked out the lights in Blenheim before kickoff :)

The SA v NZ game started at 3am in NZ and bc i'm growing increasingly anti international footie I didn't bother getting up for it.

Do you play in a club yourself? It was glorious today in Scotland for the first day of the men's season

Nope, i've not played since I picked up a back injury in early high school. I got dumped on my head in a ruck near the end of the season when I was 14, physio'd all summer to repair the bulging disk in my back only for it to go again half way through the next season. I finished the season out, and physio'd again - but its just an injury that keeps coming back even now, 30 years later :)
