Some close games this week. Taranaki just missing out on toppling Auckland by a last minute missed conversation, and Tasman getting a fright from Counties Manukau ... Nice to enjoy afternoon rugby at Trafalgar park again, and to finally meet Smart Cooky :)

Thanks RR, I checked it out, but I try to stay away from salary capped based games, where the players can be duplicated. I managed to fill the super rugby leagues with a combination of TRF members, inactive members, and others from the FRD FB page, and I guess the same will happen this time -...

I could see that happening during the course of the game, if they bring Mo'unga on off the bench, or if they start him, and they bring BB off the bench. The later is more likely to happen against Argentina, when they play in Nelson (I'll be there :) ) @mania - yes, they only have three locks...

Hi guys and gals, I have taken the liberty of starting a fantasy rugby draft for the rugby forum, for the upcoming premiership season. I have started ones for Super rugby, for the last three seasons, and as I'm yet to win one, and I don't know when to call an end to my suffering, I'm having a...

Exactly, how would you classify Tim Nanai-Williams, for example, if he plays overseas again ... I know this isn't the main point, but interesting, none the less. On the main point, I think the use of overseas players, from a development/the good of the game in the country Concerned point of...

... Where's the money in that :D

Yes, interesting to compare the approaches of the Wolves to the Jaguares; both are the sole representative for their country in the competition. The Pumas players essentially have to play for the Jaguares to be selected for national honors, and the fatigue factor must be enormous. I'm not sure...

I agree, and there's ssme intriguing battles regarding starting positions in the ABs too ... I'd like to see who comes out of the June series with the least injuries to key personnel, and who can reestablish momentum, before I predict the playoff order though

Not exactly relevant to the current season, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Sun Wolves win the Australian conference within the next two years. They seem like they are a step up this season, compared to last, and Australian rugby will need a bit of time to get back to being a force ( perhaps...

Wouldn't Kwagga be non selectable for other countries anyway, due to him being capped for South Africa in sevens? Either way, good to see him getting his opportunity in test rugby

Hmmmn, well, having read the available articles and viewed the video on YouTube, I conclude that the issue(s) are more about clashes of personalities, perceived work ethics (or lack of), and the acceptance/non acceptance of the others background and credentials, rather than it being anything...

My guess is that if the Lions and Sharks go, you'd probably have to take the Bulls and Stormers too ... can't see any enthusiasm for a Trans Tasman/PI comp here in NZ TBO ... probably just go it alone with an expanded Mitre 10 cup, but whether that's affordable or not. I know the top echelon...

No idea,sorry. i just joined some public leagues on the FantasyRugbyDraft site ... done the Super Rugby ones for a few years, so giving this a go

Thanks, much appreciated ... I need all the help I can get :)

Hi guys, A little help please ... I'm having a go at Aviva version of Fantasy Rugby Draft, for the first time this year, and am trying to find a site that has all of the players/teams named, for all of the teams, for the round. Any suggestions Ta

The thing that I find amusing about main stream journalism as a whole, is that they report on each other, and that constitutes news ... SH Journalists will report on their NH counterparts, and put their own opinion on it (or NH will do the same to the SH), and then others will report on them as...

Not likely to be Savea as a starter, as he's released for the Hurricanes match

... All of Kiwis love Sheep ... slow roasted, with Mint sauce ;) :)

It will be interesting to see if he is seen as a starting or a bench option. J.Barrett to start for the canes I guess

I'd probably be a starter too (assuming I could afford it) ... i didn't quite make it to your neck of the woods, when I was based in Canada. It would great to see something that hasn't been done before. A shared series wouldn't be the end of the world IMO ... the successful 1971 lions series...
