Pros my backside, if you have a bit of time on your hands give it a go, it's a good laugh.

I see the team changes thing seems open so can you keep changing up until match day to know your players are picked?

Hi ormond lad

Will you be accepting new members after the first match starts?

This has been a bit of a pain in the ass in other games when people who get great scores after the first or second rounds and then want to join new leagues so they can top them as well.

You think you are doing great, suddenly 3 new guys come in miles ahead of you.

Don't know how others feel but I'd be against it.

.ak

Am I reading the rules right.. You can pick ANY of 8 forwards? They don't have to be frontrows/secondrows/backrows?

Podge_irl

Yup. Think the only non-backrow in my pack is Healy!

.ak

Although I can see Ross being flogged to death for the 80.

Normally id accept them into the pool but if more are like you and against it i will not accept them into the boards pool.

We seen it in the superbru Heineken cup league where someone managed to top the pool and was delighted, then midweek a new player came in from nowhere straight to no1.

Anyone else doing the http://espnscrum.fantasyleague.com/ game, you have to pick players in positions so is more realistic.

By the way in the IT game sometimes you should think who would make man of the match even on a loosing team, you get points for that and for assists, It's not all about the wings and back rows Richie Gray got me a lot of points over the last few years.

mfceiling

Just added a team there for the crack.

Probably be at least a week before i'm challenging kidney for his place!!

Anyone know when the France/Italy teams will be announced trying to make sure everyone I've picked will be playing (not that it will help!)

Some names on the bench for the French, great reserves to be able to call on.

Hoop66

No Vincent Clerc? Not even on the bench, weird.

Injured, afaik.

Hoop66

Thanks.

That's him out of my team then.

[Jackass]

I'm in! I'll try not to forget about it after the first round this time! :pac:

Feeder

I need to get one more Italian forward outside of Parrise, any suggestions ? Zanni maybe ?

Although I could also go for a Scot forward outside of Gray.

I have Barbieiri at the moment but not sure if he is a regular starter

beglee

Yep Im looking at Zanni or Barbieri. Just need confirmation of who's playing.

I've stuck my team into the boards league there

Hype710

Barbieri comes off every game before the hour mark, worth bearing in mind! Although he is a great ball carrier so is more likely to pop up with a try. In terms of Scottish forwards, Beattie might be a decent shout.

Feeder

Cheers Hype that's good to know, I really think Scotland will be awful and Italy might spring a couple of surprises this year. Does he have a regular replacement every time or just doesn't have the legs for the full 80 ?

Ah we have until kick off of our match anyway (1.30pm) before teams are confirmed so hopefully will get starting line up for Italy tomorrow or later and decide then.

ionadnapokot

Signed up.
Cheers

Podge_irl

Italian starting line up is on the FIR website.

Fizman

Care and Farrell expected to start for England?

Edit: Ah, have just seen that Youngs is named.

V_Moth

Go Mighty Moths

Am going with Barrit/ Fofana / Davies / North / Gilroy / Farrel / Machenaud / Beattie / Brown / SOB / Parise /Robshaw / Dusautoir & Heaslip. Mid-table obscurity beckons...

All the matchsquads for the weekend can be seen here: http://www.rbs6nations.com/en/matchcentre/7991.php?section=lineups&fixid=153764 Might be worth a bookmark.
