    @frugby said in Super Rugby 2024:

    Time for the inevitably incorrect and biased pre-season predictions...

    1. Chiefs
    2. Brumbies
    3. Crusaders
    4. Blues
    5. Highlanders
    6. Waratahs
    7. Hurricanes
    8. Reds
    9. Drua
    10. Rebels
    11. Force
    12. 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:

    1. Chiefs
    2. Blues
    3. Crusaders
    4. Hurricanes
    5. Brumbies
    6. Rebels
    7. Highlanders
    8. Reds
    9. Drua
    10. Waratahs
    11. Force
    12. 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 Pasifika

    Chiefs 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 Pasifika

    i will be happy if we can legitimately make the playoff and not scrape in on points differential, better than 6th would be a win

    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

    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.
