The Crusaders look like the team to beat (again!)

The Reds and Tahs will be happy to have started the season with wins.

The Cheetahs will be spewing losing at home to the Lions..

I think the experimental rule changes will suite the Reds. Barnes is settling in nicely at fly-half. Tahu looks like the goods for the Waratahs. Hopefully the Aussies can get at least one team into the finals this year (preferably the Reds :D).

Well it will be an interesting game for the Reds this week, over in Wellington the match is 50/50....the Canes were terrible last week, surely they cant be that bad two weeks in a row!

The Tahs will find it tough against the Chiefs...

I reckon the Force are a good chance to defeat the Cheetahs, if they can, after a bonus point last week and the Lions next week they may do very well from their tour of South Africa...

Can't wait to watch the replay (wont be getting up at 5am) of the Bulls Crusaders match...should set the tone for the season.

Very true. What are your thoughts on the Henjack controversy?

[walkers a legend]

yeah Force had a nice win the other week.

Very true. Any win in SA is a good win.

[Pawtucket Patriot]

Great wins by the Waratahs and the Force. The Brumbies win was also good although the Reds did not put up much of a fight (to my dissapointment).

[Pawtucket Patriot]

A disappointing round overall for the Australian teams with only the Waratahs winning. Fingers crossed for next week.

[Philzsay]

Preseason I thought it would be a Crusaders Sharks final, and its hard atm to see any other team going that extra step up...

[Pawtucket Patriot]

Great wins by the Reds and the Force, however the Brumbies were disappointing. The Waratahs had a bye.

[Bombers1234]

Another great win by the Force away form home. Surely they will make the finals with only 2 away games left in the season.

[Pawtucket Patriot]

Good wins by the Force and Waratahs. Both look a chance to make the finals.

[Pawtucket Patriot]

Great wins by the Brumbies and Waratahs last weekend.

[Pawtucket Patriot]

Waratahs are looking the goods. :thumbsu:

[Pawtucket Patriot]

Final tonight. Waratahs vs Crusaders. 5:30pm Foxsports.

[Loonerty]

Go Crusaders! :thumbsu:

Glad they won though.
