the AUS Rugby scene: Whose draw will actually help? With Ben Darwin
About this episode
Ben Darwin from Gain Line Analytics joins Brett McKay for a Super Rugby Pacific preview, launching the brand new offering from 8/9 Rugby: the AUS Rugby scene.
And with pre-season predictions a mug’s game at the best of time, Ben’s ability to dig into and find meaning in the numbers is a great insight. So with Round 1 just over a week away, it’s interesting to look at the squads in terms of experience – with perhaps some surprising results – and to look closer at everyone’s draw and see who really does have a good draw this season.
