1. Farewell… for now
This is sadly my last Top 5 for a while. I am currently penning this from the departure lounge of Sydney Airport, as I am jetting off to America for a bit of a holiday. I will be back on deck in September, but may occasionally contribute something from the road in the meantime.
I will now be scrambling to see rugby for a while, like an addict searching for a fix. Anyone with tips on how to see rugby (legally) in the States please let me know.
I know you will all miss me desperately, being the only commentator on this site who can provide unbiased, honest and insightful analysis on a weekly basis. If I had only one request of our great readers it is this: continue to support rugby at every level, get to every game you can and help our game to grow.
I’ll see you all in September.
