OK – so I must admit some bias, but I can not believe that in the paper today the tipsters arenot predicting another Crusaders title win. The Super 14 kicksoff tonight with a game that I think will fizzle with the Hurricanes i expect will walk over the Blues. The Crusaders this year welcome back to the fold no less than 3 more All Blacks into the team with Zac Guildford, Chris Jack and of course Dan Carter all back. Yet again the Red and Black machine is all on track to make the top four and clean up. I am also on www.virtualrugby.co.nz where you can follow my picks each week.  I am off to the opening Crusaders game against the Highlanders (I am picking they will be bottom third  of table again) it is one that Jenny and I go to each year, though she never lets me forget the last thrashing the Highlanders gave the Crusaders. I am picking the Hurricanes-Crusaders game to the pick of the season match ups and will both make the top four again and the Bulls to again be the threat from South Africa. The Blues as usual, will be the most over hyped team.
