Just realised now I came 6th!

Podge_irl

TDM for the win!

Surely a good tactic is to load your forwards up with backrowers? Wish they seperated it out into positions a bit better. I didn't do the above mind, I picked people for each position.

spoon

Just made my team. Scummy ftw!

I've been a lot less honest than you Podge, no doubt 'twill avail me not a jot and I'll languish at the bottom of the league all tournament.

Noopti

Nice one, just joined. Nooptis Nuts. I invariably ****e at these things, the only fantasy league I ever won was for Euro something, where I picked the whole Czech Rep team and they ended up runners up.

This one is a bit more challenging. You only have a limited amount of points to select a team from so you cant just pick an all star team.
The positions are divided up and you get to pick a captain who scores double points.

Winner gets a Lions package! (not on me, on guinness just in case somebody holds me to it!!)

Noopti

Ah jaysus, another league?

I'm just going to stick with the Irish Times one....can't be arsed joining another one!

Rattlehead_ie

Adding my team to the Irish times one now. Here comes G-Force :-p

RugbyFanatic

Added mine

FTW.

Rushed through it, might make some changes later

toomevara

Bugger, Moody's out for the 6N,(just goes from bad to worse for England) will have to change mine....also gambling on fact that Jones beats hook to no.10 for wales....

twinytwo

im in... certain trends in the teams:rolleyes:

Climate Expert

The Irish Times one is rubbish. Stick with the Guinness league its a real fantasy league.

The only Scot I have is White. :pac: I think a certain Welsh full back seems to be in most peoples teams!

Crash

Created a league for the guinness one too

name: boards-rugby
pass: boards-rugby

sock puppet

I've entered. Come on team super.

Crash

Have accepted yourselves into the mini-league - apparently it might take some time before you show up though.

christo82

Any fantasy league from Loreal this year? I was in last year's.

conf101

Just joined both leagues! Come on Chunks XV

Probably made two sh1te teams but sure it's a bit of craic!!

Sabre0001

Have joined Let's see how this goes!

Otacon

The Wrong Stuff are now in the running for both leagues!

Crash

Cool, think i've accepted everyone to the guinness one anyhow.

If you apply and i haven't accepted you after say, about 24 hours, give this thread a bump and remind me to check it.

twinytwo

woo no one has drico.... he will prob end up scoring 5 or 6 tries now:rolleyes:

Just joined the Guinness league.

dave13

Joined the guinness one as 'The Scrummers'(pending approval) . IT looks a bit crap.

Noopti

How can you see what leagues you are in on the Guinness one?

Sabre0001

This time I did it right...Am a pending member for the IrishTimes Fantasy League.

Aerial Ping-Pong FTW!

bleg

joined the guiness league there

Joined Guinesss league

Geese69

Irish bias but its hard to know what the french coach or johnson will do regards actually playing players consistently.

Orizio

Joined both leagues, both as teamname 'Scorched Earth'.

Thinking the same thing. So I largely stuck with Italy, Ireland and Wales.

Eireannach

Joined Irishtimes league, pending approval. McGuire 15. Good luck lads!

SomeFool

Just registered somefools to have a go at the leagues as well:D

Crash

i'm updating about once a day at the mo, as before, if it lags more than that, gimme a shout here.

dreamer_ire

I'm in too.... much prefer the Guinness one too

ironingbored

The Irish Times one is crap. You can pick any eight forwards (all try scoring backrowers) and any backs (same as above).

Will try the Guinness one now.

+1. Very basic.
Vincent Clerc is also missing from the site for no apparent reason.

Disco Bandit

goin to give the guinness one a go, never done one before lets give it socks

the disco bandits ftw!

Presumably because he wasn't named in the initial French 30 man squad (at least I don't think he was).

Some of the prices in the Guinness are kind of funny though. Bob Casey is one of the more expensive locks!

Crash

Funny quirk I just noticed on the Guinness one: playing 60+ minutes is +2 points for that player, however, a loss for that team is -3 for that player.

So you're better off having a player who wont come on that a player from a team you know will lose, if you think there isnt a chance of them scoring a try.

Hmm....maybe I shouldn't have put quite so many Italians in my pack. But they were the best players! I don't want to live in a world where Sergio Parisse can lose you points in a fantasy league!

Crash

Yeah i've fooled around with my scots and italians so unless they're potential try scorers, they're guys who aren't even in the 22. I feel dirty now though

edit: oh, potentially if both Ireland and Wales were to lose this weekend, i'd be completely screwed

flyswatter

I tried picking my team for the irish times fantasy game and loads of players are missing. WTF?

Disco Bandit

its hard not to want to have an all ireland/wales lineup with sebastian cheval for good measure... damn rules.
