Monday means Hot and Not and we’ve got you covered in regards to the past week’s good and bad from the sport, including the Crusaders’ Super Rugby victory and Sonny Bill Williams’ rotten luck with injury.

Our Team of the Season sees a good mix included, such as Semisi Masirewa and Melani Nanai, as Super Rugby is now over.

Crusaders head coach Scott Robertson feels he’s done what he can to be considered for the All Blacks job after the World Cup.
