Well, we're a bit late to the party, which is strange given the Wallabies turned up early this year for the Bledisloe, and.... you know what, never mind...
Instead, let's talk Shute Shield!
Yes, it's time to let the Hat Rack loose on one of his favourite topics, but will his Rats find the cunning to win this year?
Will they be schooled, or taken to the Woodshed?
Or will the Shield be pirated?
How long can we keep up these terrible puns?
Not much longer, thankfully, which is a great reason to get the details for this year's elite NSW Club Rugby competition, here on Splinters!
