In terms of club sides I think the order would be

Brumbies
Leicester
Toulouse
Blues
Crusaders
Wasps
Leinster
Biarritz

Though I'm somewhat Sth Hemis. biased the only way that could possibly be right would be if all games were played on some swamp in England, with whistle blowing "stop start" refs, and a ban on running more then 5 paces with the ball in hand.........

Nth hemisp. club sides would be slaughtered if they were playing on hard grounds in SA, Aussie and NZL, where running rugby rules the day (ie. you need good backs as well as good forwards)........

If you based rankings on possible home and away form I would think that their would be up to 7 Super 12 sides in the overall top 10.
