In this week's Rugby Report we look back at the results from Round 8 in the NPC (including the incredible win by the Southland Stags!), and then forward to Round 9 (including a detailed look at the CRAZY playoff picture as we go into the last week of the season). We also take a look back at the thrilling end of the 2022 Rugby Championship. On a personal note, I fixed last week's audio issue, debuted completely new graphics for game previews (the Round 9 segment), and I MAY have made a few more "fish" jokes while covering the Mako games.
