With a brand spanking new year lying in front of us, and the amount of rugby matches that lie ahead enough to make some of us salivate, we have a chance of looking into the future and trying to spot who and what will happen over the next 12 months. Here are a few of my predictions (some may be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, so for any new reader, please do not take offence): [...]

2011 Currie Cup: Round 14 preview and predictions
The Currie Cup enters its final round ahead of the knockouts this weekend and while first place is already sewn up for the Lions, five other sides are still jostling each other to claim the last three play-off spots. [...]
Advantage: Cheetahs
The Cheetahs appear to have profited most from another topsy-turvy weekend of results in the Currie Cup and while the Lions continue to hold onto pole position, don’t be too surprised to see their former Cats team-mates storm into the second home semi-final slot, where they will be difficult to beat in the knock-outs. [...]
2011 Currie Cup: Round 11 preview and predictions
With only four rounds of Currie Cup action left, things are starting to hot up for sure. The Lions will look to all but seal top spot if they can do the double over the Bulls, while there’s a real logjam further down the table with five other team still only a few points apart and scrapping furiously for the other three play-off spots. [...]
2011 Currie Cup: Round 10 preview and predictions
The Currie Cup nears its business end for 2011, with only five rounds of regular-season play to go ahead of the semi-finals. While the Lions can all but seal semi-final qualification with a big win this weekend, all the other teams still have plenty of work to do in order to ensure a top four finish – as well as avoid relegation next year. [...]
Currie Cup round 6: preview and predictions
With the first half of the Currie Cup 2011 nearing its end, we’re still a little lost as to who the form teams really are. The Lions and Sharks have emerged as pretty good early season bets, although there does seem to be a disturbing trend of any team being able to beat any other on the day, making result predictions difficult. Let’s run the rule over the round 6 match-ups. [...]

Super Rugby 2011: Round 18 preview and predictions
We’ve managed to get through 17 rounds of regular-season action and it once again all comes down to the wire in the final round. Let’s see if we can pick em! [...]
Super Rugby 2011: Round 17 preview and predictions
Seriously… 17 round of this stuff and we still haven’t actually got to the knock outs? Too much of a good thing, if you ask me. Anyway, everyone’s looking pretty battered and broken at the moment, making picking the results a perilous exercise. Nevermind, though, we shall continue undaunted. [...]
Super Rugby 2011: Round 16 review and predictions
We’re now getting into the third-last round of regular-season action in the 2011 Super Rugby competition and once again, there are a number of match-ups that could have real impact on the semi-final permutations. Let’s see if we can pick the winners. [...]

2011 Super Rugby Round 8: Preview and predictions
7 Apr 11 12:19 by Richard Ferguson | Bulls, Cheetahs, Lions, Original Content, Sharks, Stormers, Super Rugby | 33 Comments
Round 7 was not our best hour as the Bulls, Rebels and Stormers stunned our boss man in his predictions for last weekend. This weekend we see only 6 games and it does not seem to get any easier when it comes to predicting who is going to win. [...]
Super Rugby 2011: Round 5 preview and predictions
Once again, we returned a pretty mixed bag of results last week, with a few games not going the way we thought they would. In fact, it was out worst week so far, with us getting the result wrong in no fewer than three of the six games played. That sort of 50% record isn’t going to fly in round five, so let’s start making some better picks! [...]
