@stargazer A Championship level NPC team coached by a couple of one-season NH rejects. Manawatu could deal with them. Will be a sad story if the Waratahs can't win that game.
Even game...

With less than one month until the start of Super Rugby 2018, one thing is for sure - this is going to be the most exciting and effective sports marketing campaign ever. I am so hyped by what hasn't been aired yet.
Combined with the legendary competence of SANZA, the four mid-season AB training camps, and great franchise systems in Sydney and Auckland, the future of TV revenue for this competition has never been brighter.

I'll be glued to every game. @bones will vouch for that....

Liam Mitchell - Is this the guy that plays up in the Manawatu? Interesting to see a number of Mitre10 Cup players involved as well as a couple of BoP players on the 17 man bench. The wage bill, and other associated expenses, for this time of year must be astronomical.
