Rotation of the starting 23 for the NZ teams will be interesting, I think the team who wins this comp will be the one with the best depth and smartest use of their squad.

Well that counts the Hurricanes out then.

@machpants That’s why we get 3 home games we need all the help we can get
@mikey07 we probably have the best draw to be fair. Once Blackwell gets injured we will be looking good for the title.

@machpants let’s hope any team can make the final. I hope they haven’t structured it so there is a guaranteed NZ vs Aus team like bullshit SR editions previously

@canes4life by all accounts its 2 best teams in the final regardless of country.

The worry from an Aussie perspective is that our two most competitive teams (Reds and Brumbies) will be suffering from a bit of a hangover from the Super AU final, and may not produce their best in Super TT. But on their day both teams can beat anyone, IMO.
The Waratahs will be lucky to win a game, but I wouldn't underestimate the Rebels and Force. They aren't the easybeat teams they once were. I can't see either knocking over the Crusaders in NZ, but I'd be wary of a trip over to Perth to face them in front of a rabid home crowd.

Best info I could find on the format
https://super.rugby/superrugby/about-super-rugby/tournament-format/
In an exciting move NZ Rugby and Rugby Australia also announced a Trans Ta$man tournament to be played in May/June following the completion of the two domestic tournaments.
The tournaments to feature all 10 Super Rugby teams with each Australian team to play each New Zealand team [home or away] in 25 crossover matches before a Final.
The Final will be played between the top two placed teams on the combined competition table with the team who finished first to host the decider
All five Australian teams will face the five New Zealand teams across the next five weeks of competition.
The ladders from Super Rugby AU and Aotearoa will be reset, with the two most successful teams battling it out in the Final.
Teams will also share the points for tied matches during the round-robin stage

The results should be interesting, particularly as both domestic comps have been roundly successful (SRau final was the most watched game in Aus since 2011 final).
The Kiwis are pretty short odds to white wash Aus in the first round. I think that's pretty unlikely, but if those sort of results do eventuate i think RA will be very hesitant to agree to a fully-fledged TT. Those record TV numbers and crowds will switch back off pretty quick.

Could be a funny insight to the Oz sporting psyche.
Ratings and attendance increases are being connected to there being a guaranteed aussie win.
I truly have no idea how the comparisons will go to be honest.
