Thanks for all the answers guys. And let's hope the Kiwi's don't use their national players missing half the tournament as an excuse if an Aussie or SA side wins...
Crack a lager and let the games begin!

Every year I say that it will be a good year for my team, the Cats (who'll be the Lions again this year), only to be disappointed lol.
I think the Bulls have a great team going, an amazing set of forwards (especially after stealing Wikus van Heerden!) and a good backline with Fourie du Preez at scrumhalf.
With the All Blacks being rested for the first seven rounds, the Bulls have a good chance for a home semi-final so maybe this will be their year!
The only Aussie team in with a shout are the Waratahs and it may be worthwhile to keep an eye on the Stormers.
But it will probably be won by the Crusaders (again) since they have some great depth and will get their All Blacks towards the end of the Super14 when it matters.

I am going to go with one of two "underdogs" the Chiefs - they are a very good team and people often take them lightly. With a little bit more composure this could be a great team.. And the other is a long shot, but keep an eye on the Western Force. They now understand Super 14 rugby, and they have added a few key players.

i might want to assert the Waratahs yet i do no longer think of the instructor is as much because it yet. The ARU have been given rid of two of our backs in Tuqiri and Tahu. i don't be attentive to if Waugh has re-signed or no longer. No theory why he wasn't presented an ARU settlement (nevertheless the be conscious is he does not get on with Deans). with any luck the different facets could have injuries and we are going to p.c.. up the slack. Tahs at one and Reds at 2. Adam, for the reason that while do the poms play in the super 14?

Some Aussie side since the all black players are not participating and the South African sides dont give a rip.

i would love 2 say the crusaders, but such a huge amount of their players are all blacks who are being rested.if they keep well motivated despite the loss of a third of their starting team then they will come away with the title again (yaaay) if not i reckon itl go to eigher the hurricanes or the waratahs :(

Its very hard to say who will win, with the amount of players out on special training and players playing out of position due to the coach being told to play them there.

Crusaders, because they're seeking for back-to-back Super 14 titles.
