Neither the Stormers or Bulls really reinforced my initial confidence in them...

se tell me, what makes the super 14 better than say the heineken cup?
i've only ever seen a couple of games in the super 14 and it wasn't enough to form an opinion on the competition.
i will say that i think the 6 nations is better than the tri nations. not because the rugby is better but because of the extra teams, games and it's tradition. i've seen some excellent tri nations games along with some equally excellent 6 nations matches.

Dan, I see you also picked the Brumbies for a win. I believe the Crusaders are going to have a slow start and kick later.
We will only know where the Lions and Cheetahs are at after this weekend. The Waratahs look impressive as they always do, until they reach the knock out stages.
Originally posted by trev33I don't think it's about which competition is better than the other. If you ask any SAFFA, AUssie or Kiwi they will tell you the super 14 is the toughest and the best there is, but I do think the fact that their teams are playing and theyre much more involved influence will influence their oppinion.
