Wales rugby international Rhys Patchell has plenty of experience but admits to some nervousness ahead of his DHL Super Rugby Pacific debut against Moana Pasifika in Dunedin on Saturday. Patchell goes into the campaign having had a taste of pre-season play but knowing the real deal of Super Rugby Pacific begins at the weekend. He's a great human and was super welcoming of me as a new player in the environment. "The way he views the game is potentially fairly different from how the Moana Pasifika team views the game, which is awesome because everybody has to learn and adapt to each other. He loves the boys, loves the environment, loves the team, loves the lifestyle and his family seems to be settling in as well."
