    Gents,

    6 Nations beginning in t-minus 6 days, i don't know if there's a thread about this already.

    If anyone wants to join the game/setup a boards mini league, the links below.

    For all the rugby aficionados out there, tips and squad selection would be great:D

    Seems to be little interest this year. Im sure we've had quite a few playing in the past.

    Any boards.ie mini league setup?

    I'm working on a team now, checking the lineups etc. Although Italy seem to have not announced theirs as yet

    Here's a few tips.
    Unlike some other fantasy 6 nations games the irish times game allows you pick any 8 forwards and any 5 outside backs ie you dont have to pick props/2nd rows who are less likely to score trys than backrows. you can pick 8 backrows if you want. pick wingers not centres

    Not too fond of the way it's set up but I'll do it as per usual. Gone for a fairly standard outside backs of visser,cuthbert,fofana,zebo and brown. Well maybe not that standard know that i look at it. Tempted to go with michalak as fly half for the first week as they have italy,and then replace him with sexton or farrel for 2nd gameweek.
