WSotR Series 1 Episode 8: Fingering, Good Friday and the Boys are Back in Town (Highlanders vs. Crusaders, Super Rugby 2026)

The couch is pulling double duty this week, keeping one eye on the 6 Nations pulse before flying south for the summer and the opener of a landmark season. Thirty years of Super Rugby Pacific and one hell of an opening game.Finn Russell fingers a tap pass that was, frankly, inappropriate. Italy are doing things to Ireland that have absolutely no business happening. Jones gives up on Wales completely and we're not sure he's coming back from it. Then we make the trip to Dunedin; Tavatavanawai is back, de Groot is back, Ta'avao makes his debut and Nareki pulls off the kind of play that makes you remember exactly why you fell in love with this game in the first place.The Boys are Back in Town, the couch is comfy, the beer is cold and we can't wait to share the Highlanders with you.
