The abbreviated New Zealand only competition kicked off last night with a thrilling game between the Highlandes and the Chiefs. A very simple format with five teams playing a double round Robin with no playoffs. Great to see live rugby with enthusiastic crowds.  
Today’s game starts in three and a half hours and is on ESPN2 for any American dopers who are interested.
