The stormers may have lost their influential lock who helped lead their pack the last couple of seasons, but wow if their team is at full fitness they will match up to anyone. Starting from the front with a springbok front three going to the new hero of South-Africa Siya Kolisi and on to world... Continue Reading →
The Sharks was able to keep most of their backline players from the previous season but the same could not be said for their forwards. They have lost the best prop in the world (the Beast) and the du Preez brothers. They have signed allot of new blood most notably Ox Nché who came over... Continue Reading →
The Lions have been on a downward spiral since Johan Ackermann left and took all his star players with him to England. I believe that it would be the same this year after they lost most of their experienced players. Hopefully the new coach will help turn around their spiral and use the same method...

The Jaguares has lost their influential captain Pablo Matera, but that is about it. They are probably the team that kept the most of their international players.

The Highlanders have lost two of their super starts in the backline namely Ben Smith and Waisake Naholo. These two wil be a big loss but with neither of them even being playing the full season last year the team will know how to cope without them. They did however make allot of signings to...
