Hurricanes too strong for Highlanders which most expect
Rebels first real game in Super Rugby, should be outclassed by Tah's, but could be a closer score line. Rebels could surprise throughout year.
Sader's should come out on top, but played at Eden park. Little harder to pick.
Brumbies may just pip the Chiefs. Want to be wrong on this one.
Sharks/Cheeters. Who only knows, flip a coin.
Bulls way too strong, just look at last year. Can't even give Lions a try. 2 Pen's at best.
Reds/Force, Reds too strong, maybe conv try.
First round is anyone's guess apart from standouts.
