AUTUMN NATIONS SERIES - Round 2 Review
The Rugby Update:
Now with even more Saffa smugness and lack of self-awareness.
No doubt I'll be brought back to earth 3mins into the URC in a few weeks.
Pls watch, like, sub, share and bear with me.

u/mango_yogurt: Greg Cornelsen scored 4 tries against New Zealand at Eden Park.
He was a flanker, making him the only wallaby forward to ever score 4 tries in a match.
They were the only tries he scored in 25 matches for Australia.
His son now plays for Japan in the second/back row, Jack Cornelsen.
