I’m surprised that the Crusaders are underdogs in the first game but I’m even more surprised that the Force are favourites to beat the Highlanders! How many games did the Force win last season? I’ll be interested to see if Matt Giteau proves he’s worth the big bucks he’s being paid too.

Yes, how Giteau goes will be of interest. I’m interested in seeing how Ryan Cross and Clinton Schifcofske go in their new codes.
Any betting on the Waratahs getting their usual good start before falling away at the business end?

3 out 0f 4 Aussie teams got up with Clinton Schifcofske doing well on debut for the Reds. The Crusaders going down was a suprise but early days yet.
