[QUOTE="ExcaLiBuR, post: 476638, member: 43043"] I will give you a basic idea of the Australian teams then, this is the order I think they will finish in the Australian conference in 2012. [COLOR=#ff0000]Reds[/COLOR]: The defending champions of the first Super 15 ***le! They have Wallabies all over the team. The Wallabies caption in the forwards, and number 8's able to run as fast as wingers. The back-line is the most exciting back-line in super rugby, with the best number 9 in the world leading it named Will Genia. They have almost all the same players of the winning 2011 team, however there star number 10 Quade Cooper is going to miss the starting 6-7 weeks due to injury. They will make the play off's for sure! [COLOR=#40e0d0]Waratahs[/COLOR]: They have always had a strong forward pack, always been in the top 3 teams in defense. They have many Wallabies and have made 2 finals but have not won a ***le yet, both times losing to the 7 time ***le holders the Crusaders. They have lost some key players, yet have gained great players to replace, also some new guns that could excite. They are due for a Super ***le, and should make the play off's also again. [COLOR=#808080]Rebels[/COLOR]: This is the new kid on the block, with the 2nd biggest city in Australia behind them. They have people from all over the world in the team, as they are new, also 2 VERY good new Wallabies signings. This team has the players to make the play offs, but lack of experience playing together and 2nd time being a club will hurt them in the business end of the season. They have sharp back line in 2012 and decent forward pack. [COLOR=#0000ff]Force[/COLOR]: This will be a rebuilding time for the Force backline, the forward pack is great, could be this year the best in Aus with the way it looks on paper! But loosing O'Conner the star number 10 and the kicker could mean another year of WHAT IFS! I do believe the team has the players and the support, they have many close games, and compete in every match, many 1 point loses I remember and 1 point wins!
