One feels the Blues are still a work in progress....Kirwan has had his hands full curbing calypso instincts and the Hurricanes are the Hurricanes,...NZ rugby's version of the Black Caps....everytime you start to expect big things from them they never fail to disappoint. Highlanders hopefully will throw the proverbial spanner in some other teams' aspirations. Not really much else to play for except some southern pride. It really seems all up to the Crusaders, who are showing flashes of themselves and with some simple game plans are showing up the South African teams, and the heady Chiefs, who really do look unstoppable if they are 70% on their game. A backline that creates from nothing all game long. They are a much stronger unit than last year's championship team....fingers crossed they time their finals run right....and that Kerr Barlow will be back soon....

Running out of time
The wheels are threatening to fall off the NZ Super15 wagon. Seems they are struggling to find that balance between ball security and their natural excitement machine. Not a lot of rounds left to get it right.
