There's a massive weekend of rugby ahead with the All Blacks' first international of the year - playing France at Dunedin at the Forsyth Barr stadium. And it's already a bit controversial with France deciding not to send its top tier players.
Also today the Māori All Blacks are playing against Scotland in Whangārei - marking 25 years since the two sides last met and the Black Ferns have one of their last games here before the World Cup.
