Here's how the SuperBru calendar is shaping up for 2009 - get ready for a whole lot of prediction addiction!
Super 14
Usually our biggest tournament outside of world cups, the Super 14 sees the top 14 provincial rugby teams in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia take each other on in 16 weeks of wall-to-wall rugby.

South Africa's top university rugby teams go head-to-head in this tournament that was a great success on the ground in 2008. SuperBru is excited to be joining the fray in 2009 to raise the stakes!
