Honey Badger RWC 2015
Rejoice rugby fans. The best news of 2015 has come a little early.
Next year's Rugby World Cup is supposed to be the global showpiece of the sport.

Unfortunately, due to his Japanese club commitments, and Australia's policy of not selecting overseas players, Cummins wasn't going to be playing at next year's World Cup.
