So next year every team has gotten a lotttttt worse except for the chiefs and blues. Could be a massive power shift with the South Island struggling and the north island getting a lot better. Although I must say even tho the crusaders have gotten a lot worse, they’ve still got soooo much talent so they just drop from wayyyyy better than everyone else to just better than everyone else I expect
@Yeahtheboys I would argue that despite the loss of Beaudy, we are stronger than last year.
Our set-piece will be better with the addition of Lomax / Scrafton, our loose forwards match anyone in the competition and our backs, well they can score points from anywhere.
I'm expecting the Canes to once again challenge for top of the conference, especially with the experienced players the Crusaders have lost.
Conference predictions:
- Crusaders
- Canes
- Chiefs
- Blues
- Landers

@Canes4life who is playing 10 again?
@canefan we don't know yet. Apparently they have signed someone, but haven't disclosed who that is yet. Probably a ho hum signing tbh.
At this stage, the leading candidate is probably Fletcher Smith.

If it was someone notable you would think they'd be trumpeting it from the rooftops. Unless they are still working out a contract release for a really good player...

@canefan I hope you are right. Then again, anyone we sign is probably a downgrade, unless it's Mo'unga or Sexton

Lima is about the only guy I can think of who would make me feel ok. Once he sheds some British pounds of course

@canefan if he can get back to his Super Rugby winning form of 2015 then he is more than welcome to pull on the swirl.

Wasn't there rumours swirling around Marty McKenzie possibly being the guy?

@Canes4life Probably wishful thinking from Chiefs fans.

It might be James Marshall (again) based on the interview I saw with him on the news a few days ago.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but everybody's favourite Kata has apparently signed with the Brumbies. Ha ha.

Been brought up before, but does anyone know if the squads are named at the end of October like the last few years? Haven't seen anything on social media but maybe someone here is in the know.
