HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO?

The Blues, after the poor performance against the Hurricanes, travel to Dunedin, where they will face the Highlanders who were also well beaten in round 1, this is going to be a close one to call, but i think the Highlanders will just edge past the Blues.
The Chiefs will play the Cats and will come away with a good result, they should be match hardened after their narrow week 1 defeat to the Sharks.
The Hurricanes face new kids on the block, but i don't think they will have to much trouble from the Force, this should be the biggest winning margin in week 2.
The Crusaders head to Brisbane to tackle the Reds, after week 1, they showed that they are the team to beat again, the Reds will push them, but it woun't be enough.
