The Crusaders will make the top 4 without question. Their pack is too good.

Big calls on the Stormers lads. I think they'll struggle a bit without de Villiers and Luke Watson.

I picked the Stormers quite high as they have aquired two of my Favorite SA players in Habana and Fourie.. by reputation they should provide the Spark and some of the consistency that was missing last year. Sure Watson has Gone but their Second Stringers certainly accounted well for them selves against the Force last year. They also got to the Semi Finals in the Currie Cup and only went down by 1 point at the death in that match as far as i can remember.

Crusaders i just cant work out... perhaps theyll regain their form but im not convinced, i think they were lucky to get as far as they did last year, but with the general back things might be different.. too many questions. Ill surely revise after the pre-season games.
