Marc Hinton: The top six things worth anticipating ahead of the 2018 rugby season MARC HINTONCHRISTIAAN KOTZE/PHOTOSPORT Can the brilliant Nehe Milner-Skudder win back the All Blacks No 14 jersey in 2018? Before that we will have a revamped Super Rugby, a June tour by France and another Rugby Championship where the Wallabies and Springboks will attempt to bridge that great divide on the All Blacks. But youngster Asafo Aumua clearly holds interest and in Coles' absence at the Canes he's likely to get plenty of chances to showcase those skills in Super Rugby alongside the capable Ricky Riccetelli. By Hansen's own admission there is no clear-cut candidate right now, and probably won't be until the back end of Super Rugby. AND ELSEWHERE ...Let's not forget that South Africa and Australia are now down to just four Super Rugby teams apiece.
