[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 342368, member: 39190"] Pretty much agree with you, although with key Springboks likely to be rested the Lions and Cheetahs might cause a few upsets at home; both currently ahead of the Bulls in the CC and the Cheetahs can call on some classy players from the Griquas. Mitchell seems to be working wonders with a young Lions team and has the balls to make difficult decisions. Dick Muir always was out of his depth and his cop out with the Lions and the Springboks just proves the point (If SARU doesn't fire PDiv at least get rid of this joker, please?). That said, the NZ conference is without a doubt the 'conference of death' but since it favours SA teams (who have been disadvataged from a travel perspective since the inception of the super seires as well as our rugby not being as geared towards scoring 4 try bonus points as the Aus/NZ style is, with the Waratahs the exception), can't say that it bugs me much from that perspective. Where I do have problem is with it effectively devaluing the CC and forcing our top players to play more rugby (we will be in the same boat as teh NH soon). [/QUOTE]
