The reason this was brought up is because the East Coast Breakfast team of Darren Maule, Sky Tshabalala, and Carmen Reddy hosted the 'Come Bok With Us' watch party event over the weekend. 

They were amazed at the amount of people who struggled to grasp the rules of the game.

"As I spoke to the first seven people, I soon realised they were too shy to ask certain questions about rugby. They just came through for the vibes," says Sky.

So, Darren, Sky, and Carmen brought the conversation to air and asked people, what do you want to know about rugby, but you are too afraid to ask?
