This season I am adamant that the Stormers will win the competition (or otherwise the Sharks!). The first game between these 2 teams will be massive in the outcome of the tournament. Many of the other sides have lost key players and the depth overall this year looks a bit weak. For that reason it makes it quite hard to predict the outcome this year as almost anything could happen. I am hoping for a watershed year and 3 South African teams in the semis! Although I do think my Bulls team might find it hard to make the semis.

Overall I am not picking the Aussies to have a great competition, and I think the Kiwi teams will mostly finish around the middle of the table. This could be a year to starta new era in Super rugby with the demise of the Crusaders and the emergence of the Coastal South African teams..
