It's a new season and some of the best [and worst] TVNZ rugby pundits are back with crystal balls in hand to pick the winners in this year's Super Rugby competition.
How it works: TVNZ sports buffs will chip in their picks for matches involving New Zealand sides each round with a correct result worth two points and a correct margin a bonus point.
Bonus points will also be given at the end of the season for correct preseason predictions given on who will be the New Zealand conference's wooden spoon, how far the Blues will go this season and who will win the competition.
