Just logging into it now, shambles of a set up.

You don't have a designated kicker any longer? So everyone's back line is going to have Laidlaw, Spedding, Hogg, Halfpenny and Farrell?

You get negative points for missing kicks, so Hogg and Spedding are actually a bad idea, or at least neutral. Tbh I wish they didn't force a designated kicker, but gave highly punitive negative points. IE 1 for getting it, 3 for missing it. So any kicker than was hitting less than 75% was punitive.

Serin will also goal kick for France according to Iroced. So there is some choice.

Which one are people using? The irish times one isn't loading for me.

edit: IT just loaded now.

edit: seems intermittently working.

ITs one crashing all day... not a great start

This IT one is the worst thing I've ever seen. Terrible performance.

I joined this one cause the IT one was annoying me.

The only thing that bugs me is it's very rigid with the positions. Itoje playing at 6 for England but you have to pick him as a flanker in this one. Williams playing on the wing for Wales but you have to pick him as a full back. Moriarty down as a flanker but he's playing 8 for Wales too.

On the IT league, do kicking points count for captain's double points?

I don't know but I'd guess Halfpenny. Made my final changes tonight - thought I'd never get on to the damn site.

I'm guessing Biggar will be kicking. That's who I nominated anyway...

I hope to feic not, I added 1/2p into my team specifically to have him as kicker

.ak

Hmm... I'm going on the basis that Biggar is the 'incumbent' kicker for Wales as it were, and he's been brilliant off the tee... Think it might be odd just to let HP take over.

Bloody IT one has already frozen my team - only let me have three transfers. Assumed it would be unlimited til gametime

Fantasy rugger open to change til 2:25. Boards league has 22 as of now.

Re Bigger / HP - I avoided these as kicking options as there is too much uncertainty and given HP has a bit more range they could split duties.

Just wasn't worth risking uncertainty. I've Luke McClean as my bench fullback. Seriously tempted to stick him in as he's starting at 12 and could have a busy day against boschball.

There is. code to join is pouroval

Just had a look at my team there and two bench positions have switched with first team positions. I emailed the team to myself after I finalised it earlier so I have a record of the original. This is on fantasy rugger just incase anyone had similar.

Well Autume tests series wasn't to be followed... Lopez kicked.

He did, and therefore I dropped Laidlaw (who got about 15 points) and chose serin, which remarkably finished on 0!!

Biggar screwed me, had him as my kicker.

sydthebeat

the irish times (sh!te) has no points given to serin ???

and how the hell did rory best get joint top front row points with ross ford?? the pleasure of not getting subbed?

errlloyd

7 Syds Beatniks 229
8 Just Another Manic Bundee 228
9 The wire 227
10 Freebies Fliers 227


Top team having made the key choices of both Greys, Hogg, Laidlaw, Halfpenny who were all among the best in their positions. The best possible team would have scored 290 points, and if J Grey or Halfpenny was captain would have scored 318. It was thus. Richie Grey and Alex Dunbar scored more points than Launchbury or L Williams, but were omitted as 8 Scots would have made the team otherwise.

Fantasy rugger has been updated, top 10 after week 2:

1 Junior B squad 220.10 349.40
2 Welwinster 196.20 340.60
3 Saracens, a great bunch of lads 182.90 322.00
4 Sands81 187.60 303.60
5 Nucifora's Nemesis 182.50 298.70
6 Feel the Byrne 175.00 297.50
7 Mad's XV 170.20 293.60
8 Johnney's Got Ya Covered 156.20 289.30
9 Up your Swiss 152.20 286.00
10 Arsebiscuits RFC 172.40 277.40


I am a bit annoyed that FR doesn't seem to automatically sub players who don't make the match day squad. I ended up with 0 points for Best, I assumed George would be automatically put in.

Biggest winners this week were people with Stander as captain and Jackson as kicker.

Doesn't sound like a team name i'd choose.

The fantasy rugger league is currently being led by "Junior B squad", they're 80 points clear so it'll take a miracle for them to be caught now. Only 20 points split 2nd - 5th.

"The Chunks" lie in last place, 100 points behind. An odd team selection on show, having about 5 players in the team that never actually play.

Apparently I won the Superbru league, which seems to be the one no one cares about
