[QUOTE="mosfeldt, post: 868023, member: 74779"] As bruce says the top 8 or so are pretty competitive - in the past 7 years 6 different teams have won it! I was gutted when Munster were thrashed by Scarlets in the final this year but I knew it was a great result for rugby. Anyway Munster, Leinster, Ulster, Scarlets, Ospreys and Glasgow would be the strongest teams of the Pro12 (Scarlets, Munster and Leinster strongest atm). After that, Edinburgh, Cardiff Blues and Connacht have their own sort of tier, capable of playing some fine rugby but wracked by inconsistency and choking to pressure. Then Newport Dragons, Treviso and Zebre... the matches I tend to skip. This has more or less been the Pro12 hierarchy of the past decade or so. I am so excited to see the Saffas shake it up, I know they'll probably be a bit of a dud for the first year or two but given how strong South African rugby is and their frequent exposure to NZ rugby I expect them to be top tier teams once they've matured. Though I could be completely wrong. Who the f**k knows? Hyped! [/QUOTE]
