    Anyone fancy joining a league? Just for a bit of fun, no prizes, other than bragging rights.

    In case you don't know http://fantasyrugger.co/ is run by Ian Madigan (and presumably others). They claim to have the best scoring system awarding points for lots of different aspects of play in the various positions. There's a couple of players and websites have their own leagues and are giving away decent prizes to the winners. Madigan is giving away 6N tickets for Ireland vs Wales. Dan Biggar is giving away Wales v Scotland ones.

    Anyway... I'll create a league for Boards and if anyone wants to join feel free.

    Now to think of a name....

    "Bring Back Andrew Trimble" or maybe "The Kieran Marmion Appreciation Society"?

    EDIT: League is called "Down To Ruck" and I regret it already. The code is weZuOKjit4tgdHQY

    LINK TO LEAGUE IS IN POST #8

    Was chatting to some of the lads in work about fantasy team websites for the RWC and this looks as good as any I guess. Only issue is I'm not sure my hair is random yet shapely enough to join.

    Could some boards experts maybe weigh in on this... molloy? .... ak?

    I just set it up, about 10 minutes ago. Maybe it takes a while to appear?

    This is the link it's giving me... http://fantasyrugger.co/league/index?LeagueSearch%5Bprivacy_code%5D=weZuOKjit4tgdHQY

    Here's my team. I'm hoping to never have to make any substitutions. Although I've just realised Australia (and 3 other teams I can't figure out) aren't playing in the first game week so I have to make one already .... S**t, Scotland aren't playing either.

    I'm in with my hastily assembled team. It's awkward enough to put together without having to worry about who is playing when so I just selected one for the whole tournament and hoped for the best.

    So am I right in thinking the idea here is that we see how our individual teams do against each other?

    Totally new to this :)

    I've managed to join, but I can't get back in thru the link, can't see any other teams or anything, is that normal? Will it take a few hours to show up, or are we a ghost league.

    Yeah, pretty much.

    You can join other leagues that are giving away prizes too. There's a few on the "Featured Leagues" page.

    I made it a private league so only people on here could join. You should be able to see who else is in the league but you can't see who is in their team. I assume this will change when the tournament starts.

    Wait, what is a gameweek?

    It'd be weird if a gameweek wasn't considered the first round of fixtures. Otherwise there'll have to be a lot of subbing for teams not playing?

    I asked them on twitter but they never got back to me. I had previously assumed that some teams would have two fixtures in the one week at times but it seems that some teams are missing from the first game week. I'm working off the list they give as game week one meaning no Australia or Scotland and two other teams are missing too.
