I reckon Robbie Deans is right, SA teams have enormous amount of depth of talent coming through, only problem is our coaching still has a huge gulf to catch up, once they can recognize and develop all that talent available then we could become real forces to be reckoned with in this competition.

The other issue is the competition is too thinly spread across the 14 teams, reduce it to 4 from NZ, 4 from SA, and 3 from Aus, and 1 from Pacific Islands combined and one would get the ultimate competitive results.

Plenty of smoldering hot beauties all over this planet, far too many for my mind to cope with, but in the end its as simple as ashes become ashes and dust becomes dust, so where you reckon all that beauty resides after that fading illusion disappears over the horizon? Back to the eye of the beholder – thats where.

Who’s coaching Waratahs after Mckenzie?
They were a class side last year only eclipsed by the consistency of Deans’ Crusaders

Tahs, Brumbies, Canes, Chiefs, Saders, Sharks, Stormers, to probably battle out for the top 4 not necessarily in that order

Reds, Blues, Lions, Cheetahs, Bulls, Highlanders, Force not necessarily in that order to battle it out for the lower places
