Time for the inevitably incorrect and biased pre-season predictions...
- Chiefs
- Brumbies
- Crusaders
- Blues
- Highlanders
- Waratahs
- Hurricanes
- Reds
- Drua
- Rebels
- Force
- Moana Pasifika
I think the Drua make the top 8 again, the teams they play twice are Moana, force and the Rebels
Didn't consider that... the issue for the Drua though, is they don't travel well. They need to improve that I think. My guess is that all the New Zealand sides will be beating each other this year, and the Aussie sides should pinch a few more games, so the mark to make the 8 might be more like 6 wins.

@frugby I definitely don't think the Waratahs will be that high, and the Canes that low. I would go:
- Chiefs
- Blues
- Crusaders
- Hurricanes
- Brumbies
- Rebels
- Highlanders
- Reds
- Drua
- Waratahs
- Force
- Moana Pasifika
I doubt the Reds and Brumbies will be that bad, nor the Canes that good.
Agree. One of the Aussie sides will be in the Top 4 for sure, it is the way the draw works. I actually think the New Zealand sides could conceivably finish any order. I reckon they are going to be quite close for a variety of reasons.

1 Chiefs
2 Blues
3 Crusaders
4 Brumbies
5 Hurricanes
6 Reds
7 Drua
8 Highlanders
9 Waratahs
10 Force
11 Rebels
12 Moana PasifikaChiefs to beat Blues in the final (tight five depth is a big issue for Blues). Crusaders 9 and 10 not good enough, despite a great tight five. Havili to spend some time at 10.
Rebels to stop existing at seasons end, and players and coaches will be focused on securing new contracts.

im famously bad at these but why not
1 Chiefs
2 Brumbies
3 Blues
4 Crusaders
5 Highlanders
6 Waratahs
7 Hurricanes
8 Drua
9 Reds
10 Force
11 Rebels
12 Moana Pasifikai will be happy if we can legitimately make the playoff and not scrape in on points differential, better than 6th would be a win

Please stop predicting the Chiefs to win guys I don't want this expectation after last season ðŸ˜
Chiefs have to be considered front runners they're the only side with an established All Black at 10

I still think too many people are underestimating the Reds.
-
@antipodean completely agree. They are primed to be a top 4 contender
-
hope you're both right, would be good to see an aussie team step up

Closest to the pin, I think. You got the finalists right before competition but the result the wrong round.
Cotter's done a great job developing the Blues Tight five this season.
