This is rugby.
Kulverint and Khytenna begin their cross tour (Kulverint --> Khytenna, Khytenna --> Kulverint) with 5 matches in different stadia around each nation to showcase what really top teams can do.
Kulverint and Khytenna have only met once before, in that most famous upset in the final of Rugby World Cup 16. Kulverint, in particular Wilhelmus Farransza and Jeroen Berdoas, had been an unstoppable force, sailing through the group stages with ease, and having beaten world no.1 Sorthern Northland in the quarter finals before winning a highly charged semi final against Colmark.
However, these two consecutive massive games drained Kulverint. Wilhelmus Farrasza was injured early on in the final, and with him out of the way all Khytenna needed to do to win was keep Berdoas away from the posts. For their part, Khytenna played magnificently, but most outside observers felt it was more that Kulverint had thrown away the opportunity of a life time.
Now, both these nations occupy top World Ranking slots, and it will be a very interesting match up overall.
