A SUPER SEASON COMING UP

While the 15 franchises have been slogging it out getting ready for the new season we've been hard at it too, coming up with a fresh feel for your favourite rugby read on the newsstand.

It's fresh, lively and makes best use of the images and insightful words that we know that you enjoy every time that we hit the streets.

The Wallabies may not have got the result that Robbie Deans wanted at 2011 Rugby World Cup but the tournament did show that there is room for growth in the team and also for the game in this country.

The welcoming of Argentina to the Rugby Championship is a significant move and with a Test window being opened in June there is some real logic to the structure of the season here in the southern hemisphere.

Which brings us to our new look magazine which takes a detailed look at the 2012 Super Rugby season. All the staples are there as we take a detailed look at the significant moves at each of the 15 franchises.

Not everyone is going to agree, but we have taken a stab at where each of the teams will finish come play-off time.

We've had a chat to former Wallabies coach Bob Dwyer, a good judge of rugby talent, and got him to nominate 10 players that he believes we will be raving about come the end of the Super Rugby season. As always his choices are insightful and bound to spark some debate.

One of our regular contributors Djuro Sen has come up with a tremendous read about the rise and rise of Ewen McKenzie as a coach. It's a feature that has to be read and gives some fantastic insight into why the big fella has been so successful.

David Pocock explains how he first heard he was a Wallaby and the background to the setting up of his charity work back in the nation of his birth, Zimbabwe.

We've also had a chat to Jake White about the tough job he has at the Brumbies and with the Melbourne Rebels' Garth Delve.

Scrum-half Sarel Pretorius has also shared what he would like to achieve at the Waratahs over the next two years.

Throw in our always popular national clubhouse grand finals wrap up and we've got a pretty potent mix.
