[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 368888, member: 39190"] Oh, that's good to hear. I was unaware that this is not the way the new structure is set up and thought the fact that everyone does not get at least 1 game against everyone else takes away something from the tournament. Damn but we will be seeing ong seasons in the future. I guess that means the end of seeing Springboks play in the Currie cup. This conference system can work but I would like to see it still only 1 game between each team working on a draw system. Hell, imagine the Stormers and Sharks playing a warm-up match, 2 S15 derbies, 2 Currie cup derbies and a possible extra 2 games should both reach play-offs which is a likelyhood. Crazy! As for which team will win and why. Crusaders; too much class in depth and a decent enough draw. SA's top 3 teams will take points off of each other and the Crusaders will finish in the top 2 which means a home semi and that will be that IMO.
