VIDEOS: Evidence of the difference in class between NZ and AU
WATCH as we bring two videos - one from New Zealand and one from Australia - which shows the difference in class of the competitions between the two countries.
In the New Zealand clip, former Stormers wing Kobus van Wyk scores a sublime try for the Hurricanes in their 17-11 win over the Highlanders in a Super Rugby Aotearoa Round Five encounter in Wellington.
The Australian clip has Reece Hodge scoring for the Melbourne Rebels in their 18-all draw with the Reds in their Super Rugby AU face-off in Sydney.
The skills, execution and intensity in the two clips is evidence of just how much higher the quality of Super Rugby Aotearoa is compared to Super Rugby AU.
