FIXTUERS:

Bulls v Waratahs
Cheetahs v Highlanders

HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO?

The Hurricanes kick week 3 off with a home game against the Cats, How will they cope with the loss of All Black centre Conrad Smith? VERDICT: CANES BY 13+pts
The Chiefs have been disapointing so far, they've come close in weeks 1 & 2, but not close enough, but i think they will win their first game of the season, all be it, by just a few points. VERDICT CHIEFS BY 7pts.
The Blues travel to Brisbane. They have been the biggest disapointment, on paper they look like they are one of the favorites for the title, but they have not shown any of their potential. Hopefully they can turn it around against the Reds. Its one i wouldn't like to call. But i will back my home town time, to get their season back on track, fingers crossed!!! VERDICT BLUES BY 4pts
The Crusaders have started with a bang again this year, and have put themselves up there to be the team to beat again. The Sharks just won't have the fire power to trouble them. VERDICT CRUSADERS BY 20+pts.
The Highlanders start their tour of South Africa with a difficult game against the Cheetahs, the Cheetahs have shown that they won't lie down for anyone. This could be the game of the round? VERDICT CHEETAHS BY 2pts.
