The Aotearoa Rugby Pod breaks down why this moment matters, and why the ripple effects could be felt across the entire competition. Later this week, we speak with Super Rugby CEO Jack Mesley to get answers from inside the game. Catch all our content across @aotearoarugbypodofficial channels Hosted on Acast.
