Australia and New Zealand, as the sporting rivalry between these two nations took a step towards normality with a Super Rugby Trans Tasman champion crowned. The teams from New Zealand largely dominated that particular competition, with the Blues beating the Highlanders in the Grand Final. But the Australian teams and players showed Super Rugby Pacific live both last year and the year before that they can play, playing an entertaining brand of rugby in Super Rugby AU. These performances from the Australian franchises translated into improved performances from the national side as well, with unearthed talent helping guide the Wallabies to two famous wins against the Springboks last year. As we look ahead to this year, and with the intensity of international rugby ever growing with the World Cup less than two years away, are there any players who could potentially push for higher honours with a breakout Super Rugby campaign this year
