Predictions
1 (Promotion) - Belgium
2 - Mexico
3 - New Zealand
4 - Bulgaria
5 - Turkey
6 - South Africa
After getting relegated last year, Belgium will earn a promotion back to Division II. I see Mexico ending up just short of the top spot, finishing second. New Zealand takes third place. A weaker Bulgaria squad ends up in fourth. Turkey again ends up in fifth. Newly-formed South Africa will have a rough tournament, finishing in last.
