B.B. King & Ray Charles must have been great! I've heard B.B King live, but not seen him (I was outside the open-air venue when he played at the Jazz à Juan Festival).

Samoa also has the easiest draw of all band-4 teams. Of course, it will only matter if they improve, but they have a great opportunity, given how much worse it could have been.

Super Rugby Pacific is only 16 rounds of regular season, with two byes per team, so 17 games if you make the final. That’s 31 total with the internationals.
