    Hi Gents,

    So further to the discussion in the 2017 thread, I've created a poll so we can settle on an option.

    There are some boardie leagues live on some these sites already, the purpose of this post is for the rest of us to make a decision on where to set up our team.

    I'll close the poll on Thursday at 10:00.

    Which fantasy six nations league do you want to join 18 votes

    ESPN
    0% 0 votes
    SuperBru
    38% 7 votes
    Official 6N
    11% 2 votes
    Irish Times
    16% 3 votes
    Rugbypass
    33% 6 votes

    ESPN for me.
    Superbru is live already and captain of pools has already sent invites to those whove played boards.ie pools before on the site

    Irish Times Budget was very low (70m), but they have increased it to €100m as was very difficult to put a team together

    Ultimately I am going to end up with a team on all three... So I guess it doesn't matter to me...

    So lads for whatever reason this poll isn't closing until tonight but may as well leave it run until then. It's looking like ESPN is the front runner so when the poll closes this evening we can confirm on here how to join whatever league is live.

    Are there any of them running like Irish Times used to? No budgets, picking locks and centres, and added complications like that? Just pick your team with some considerations about # of players per team and things like that and work away...

    🤪

    Having a back three of Hogg halfpenny and Watson I think is more how it went

    Managed to get to ~6500 overall :D

    Got absolutely slaughtered with one of my natwest teams though. That fantasy really rewards players for just being on the winning team, and I had no Welsh.

    Thought I was in serious trouble till the England game, had Watson, Farrell and Simmonds. Just snuck into the top 1000

    Had Halfpenny in and dropped him for Hogg. Dang. Still, just outside the top 5,000 so not a bad weekend.

    Just inside top 5000. I switched Guirado out last minute, other than that, can't really complain about the players I picked! Was never picking Halfpenny!
