The Super Rugby season is screaming towards us at 1000 miles an hour. Today, the teams for round one were announced, and it drives home just how close we are. 

For the record, this week's picks are.

Sully: Crusaders, Reds, Fiji, Blues, Brumbies.

Happy: Crusaders, Reds, Fiji, Chiefs, Force.

Butz: Crusaders, Reds, Fiji, Blues, Force

I think the game to watch is the Blues v Chiefs game, but Force v Brumbies and Reds v Tahs should also be great.

As always we hope you enjoy.

Super Rugby 2026 Preview — G&GR's team podcast

They’re nervous, we’re excited.

Angus Crichton will Steggles for industrialised Kiwi meat - itself a bit yellow in colour as they sack Razor clam Robertson - as he becomes the 3rd Rooster of recent times to beg for the upgrade from avian to macropod. Nick and Natho are on board to ride the chocobo of delusion in this bloated metaphor.

They chirp:
Crichton! How good?
Our potential sumptuous backline for ‘27
Who else do you want - let’s get greedy!
Razor getting the cut
And fightin’ flowers at Tahs training
