[QUOTE="Oliver Madden, post: 1038510, member: 77963"] notice that all the referees are from the home country apart from in the Blues game.... interesting. Predictions: [B]Highlanders Hurricanes Crusaders Blues Chiefs [/B] Round 1 looks a whitewash weekend to me. If the Reds were at home I’d tip them but in Dunedin I don’t think they’ll have enough to beat the Highlanders. Crusaders v Brumbies should also be a good game. I think the Canes, Blues and Chiefs will win very easily against 3 very poor sides. You do worry that the Aussie teams may struggle to cope early on with the greater quality of the NZ teams. The Reds and Brumbies looked good in Super Rugby AU but this is a whole new ball game. Will they have the stamina and skill to go for 80 minutes against the Kiwi teams?. Not sure. So for me 5 NZ wins but the Reds have the best chance of causing a surprise. [/QUOTE]
