[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 863832, member: 74121"] To me the only Kiwi side that has dipped since last year are the Highlanders, and that may due to injury. The Crusaders have improved greatly, Chiefs were hitting form and the Hurricanes are the Hurricanes (and might get Coles back and have NMS improve). I think the South African sides are heading in the right direction but are still a few years off their full potential. Hopefully the painful hammerings handed out by the Kiwis last time around in the playoffs won't be repeated, but with the Brumbies, Stormers, Sharks all being very inconsistent recently, and the Lions not being as scintillating as last year, I'd make the NZ favourites in every match (barring a Lions vs Highlanders matchup if Sopoaga and Ben Smith are unavailable). For the sake of the contest I hope I'm talking rubbish! [/QUOTE]
