Six weeks into the 2010 Super 14 and it seems that the competition is no easier to predict.

It should start to become clearer after we see the Bulls and the Stormers on their road trip in New Zealand and Australia. This will be telling as the South African sides are never so good away from home, as has been seen with the Lions and Sharks so far this year. 

Week six produced a mixed bag of games. We saw an exciting thriller to start with between the Blues and the Brumbies, a nail biter between the Bulls and the Hurricanes, the Crusaders produced a demolition job of the Lions, the Highlanders versus Sharks game was one of poor quality, the Waratahs snuck home against the Force, while the Stormers again showed their defensive prowess once again after holding the Cheetahs to 8.

This week's rankings look at the teams' efforts in the whole competition so far rather than looking just at their games from the weekend. As always, the previous week's ranking is in parentheses.

 

1. The Bulls (1): Last Week: Won vs Hurricanes 19-18   Win/Loss: 5-0

The Bulls hold onto their number one spot once again due to their unbeaten record but their hold may be beginning to slip as they have looked shaky for the last two weeks now. This was the first week where they were held to below 40 points and only got home by one point. A win is a win though. The Bulls begin their road trip next week where they will be tested and we will see how good they really are.


Positives: Five from five is good. Morne Steyn seems to be radar accurate once again this year with his goal kicking.

Negatives: Holes are starting to form in the once impenetrable wall that was the Bulls. The coming weeks will show if they have what it takes to top this competition.

 

2. The Crusaders (2): Last Week: Won vs Lions 46-19   Win/Loss: 5-1

It was hard to judge the Crusad...
