Welcome to Season 8 of the Aviva Premiership fantasy rugby game.  Below are the rules of the game which must be adhered to.  If there are any situations that arise in the course of the game which are not covered by the rules, a final decision will be made by the RFU (SJE) as to how the situation will be resolved.


Senior Squads wrote:
The maximum squad size is 40 senior players.  If a team has more than 40 players in their squad then they will be fined £1 million per player over the permitted amounts per day for the first seven days. If after 7 consecutive days a team still has more than the permitted number of players then the team will be fined £2 million per player per day, and fined 1 league point per player per day for the next seven days. If after this time a team still has more than the permitted number of players in their squad, the RFU (SJE) will remove players at its discretion to bring them back under the permitted numbers. There will be no right of appeal to players being removed.

Be aware that all tier one international matches which are played during the season will count in the game, and players selected in the match day 23's for those matches will not be eligible to play for their clubs on that weekend, therefore you must give due consideration to the make-up of your squad.
Academy Rules wrote:
Each team will be allowed to have an academy squad of 23 players.  Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1993.

Any player, who is at any Premiership club in real life, either in their senior, academy or AASE squads, can be bid for on the domestic bidding page. Players who are at your own club in real life and are coming through the academy system must be bid for if you want them in your own academy.
Transfers wrote:

  • Domestic (other AP Teams)
    Each team has a budget to use in the purchase of players. Domestic transfers between AP clubs, regardless of nationality of player, should be negotiated between the respective managers, and then confirmed on the Domestic Transfer Confirmation Page.
  • Domestic (Championship and below)
    Each team may during the season purchase no more than 5 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will receive two additional bids to be used exclusively on academy age players. These players must be bid for on the National League Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by the RFU on its own merits before being accepted or rejected.  No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.
  • Foreign
    To make a foreign transfer (i.e. from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by the RFU against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.

    There will be a summer foreign transfer window, which will run as follows.
    Player Draft
    Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will participate in a player draft beginning the week of June 22nd. Both sides will be allowed to draft two players each. The draft picks will go as follows; 1. Worcester 2. Wasps 3. Wasps 4. Worcester.

    Round Bidding
    There will be two rounds of bidding. The first window will run the week starting June 29th and the second the week starting July 3rd. All sides will be allowed to sign one player each during the window. These bids are not protected if you do not have the funds in place to bid during the window you will lose the bid.    

    Open Bidding
    From July 13th the foreign market will be open to all bids similar to previous seasons. Due to the world cup the window will remain open till the end of September.

Player Releases wrote:
Managers may choose to release players from their clubs, for which they will be offered compensation

Compensation will be paid as follows

£2 million – current international (must have played international rugby in the previous 12 months)
£1.5 million – former international
£1m – top flight experience
£0.5m – other

All released players will be deemed to have joined a Championship side and can be bid for on the National League Bidding page.
Retirements wrote:
There will be no compensation for retiring players.  Should a player who retires decide to come out of retirement and play again, then he will automatically go back to the club who he was playing for in the game when he retired.
Fixtures wrote:
There will be 22 Aviva Premiership games per season, plus the play offs. There will also be European Rugby Champions Cup, European Rugby Challenge Cup and Anglo Welsh Cup matches.  These games will take place once a week. A match thread will be put up every Monday. Home teams must be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams must be named by midnight on Wednesday. Failure to meet these deadlines is punishable by the addition of three match points to the oppositions final score, unless both sides fail to do so. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 20:00 hours on Sunday. Managers will pm the scores that they think will happen from these games (apart from games in which they are involved).  An average of all predictions will be taken, and then 0.5 points added to each teams score for each prediction that had them as the winner, and that will then be the final score.

Managers are asked to provide detail as to why they have predicted a result.  To be considered a descriptive prediction this must be a full 3 lines long when entered into the text box.
Teams wrote:
When naming your team, not only should you put the starting XV and replacements, but also tactics that your team will employ. Results will be affected by the tactics described.

In addition, each team must have the following:-

For domestic competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 of those must be in your starting XV.

For European competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 6 of those must be in your starting XV.

At least 2 props and 1 hooker on the bench.

All players must be eligible (not injured or banned).

Failure to comply with these rules will result in a 1 league point deduction.

If you fail to submit a team for a match, then the other team will be automatically awarded a 30-0 bonus point win. If both teams fail to submit a team, then it will be scored as a 0-0 draw.
Injuries and Suspensions wrote:
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated by me.

Players banned in real life will be ineligible for selection in this game for the duration of the ban.

Inclusion of injured/banned players will result in them being replaced by players on the bench, and the bench not having eight players, which may result in punishment if it concerns the front-row.

Punishment for fielding an ineligible player will be loss of one match point.
Financial Rewards wrote:
There will be no rewards for the result of an individual match, instead the managers will receive cash for predicting.

£2m for descriptive predictions
£0.25m for scores on the doors predictions
Bonuses will be awarded on a scaled basis i.e. 2m for 5 games, 1.6m for 4 games and so on
If you fail to predict without first advising me that you are unable to do so that week, you will be fined £1m for a first offence, £2m for a second offence, £3m for a third offence etc upto a maximum of £5m per fine.

AP finishing positions.

Champions: 8m
Runners Up: 6m
Playoff Semi Finalist Losers: 5m
5th: 4m
6th: 3.5m
7th: 3m
8th: 2.5m
9th: 2m
10th: 1.5m
11th: 1m
12th: 0.5m

Heineken Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £2 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £3 million each
Runners Up - £4 million
Champions - £5 million

Amlin Challenge Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £1 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million
Champions - £4 million

Anglo-Welsh Cup

Losing Semi Finalist - £1 million each
Runners Up - £2 million
Champions - £3 million


If your budgets falls below minus £10 million for any reason, the administrators (SJE) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation (foreign transfer value) in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

Probably as good a side as we could have put out. I would have liked to have seen Burgess start, but can understand that they may be worried about positioning up against the likes of Giteau

Can't believe Barritt gets another chance- his form is abysmal.

Can't believe that bench either.

Why hasn't Slade been given a go? Surely they havn't just picked him too play 20 minutes vs Uruguay?

I'll take that win. Scrum a bit better with subs on. Biggar good again as was Bradley Davies and Gareth Davies. Cuthbert didn't have a great game, M.Morgan showed sparks, Hook unfortunately didn't cut the mustard.

A snatch and grab win but onus on England to beat oz now

Cracking game. Fiji front row subs a big step down, you can see the change. Fair play to them though, makes our result look pretty good. A win against Aus and we can still top the group bizarrely.

Just back from the match, Gorgodze was an animal and the Georgian 12, 13 and 15 were amazing! NZ took Georgia lightly and a few NZ fans were frustrated with them not kicking to the corner as much. Carter was out of sorts, nice to see Naholo score and Savea was immense and took 2 players to stop him each time.

A great atmosphere too

Prop I was there my 8 th game attended at World Cup so far. Was there yesterday too for best game I have seen so far this tournament

Minnow teams so much better these days defensively and play on edge.

I have watched the other 2 Georgia games at kingsholm and that today was there second team pack except gorgodze. Having watched him live 3 weeks in a row I can say gorgodze is world class. His work rate is so high.

Your Morgan, Billy ,Hughes, palu, Denton, waldrom types should watch him. Exceptional work. That's why he can play 6,7 also.

My observations of wc so far


- England threw it away and as only team to get bp vs Fiji should feel
Confident vs Aus
- best wc ever to attend- volunteers amazing and logistics so well organised
- been to villa park, Wembley and off to city of Manchester and Newcastle so impressed how it's a national World Cup.
- England front row great vs Wales Cole and marler killed them
- dicipline awful. Our pen count at breakdown massive. Cole gives away so many pens but a lot are due to
Not having a proper 7 and unit. Australia could kill us
Here
- Wales future bright- Gareth Davies a star, Tyler Morgan and Francis will be better for having a real hard time at that age. North still young etc. Wales well
Set
- carter awful
Tonight along with many others yet great vs Argentina- difference being pack awful for nz tonight
- nz players look off pace tonight.
- no form team of wc
- I
Have money on sa and France as winners so see how it goes
- faumuina and Crockett would not get in most Prem sides scrummaging wise. Any injuries and nz will struggle

The breakdown has been a bit of a lottery.

I watched Cole get pinged last week and he looked spot on. He got done for not supporting his weight when he would never have been done for that in the AP or EC. 5 mins later the Welsh got a pen when they were doing exactly the same thing.

It's been so inconsistent throughout the WC, worst part imo.

To be honest you Don't really want your tight head being one of your main breakdown people but we are poor there. He needs to listen to the ref as often you hear the ref telling him to stop and he carries on.

England discipline since June been awful. Agree re
Reffing.

Cole not the only England player to get pinged a lot but probably most noticeable. He really is not helped by back row. We seem quite naive in this area. I hope launch helps here.

Worried by pocock and hooper combo but think we will win as I can't bear thought of going out

We are pretty dreadful at the breakdown, the whole backrow add little really.

SL needs to bite the bullet with Armitage post WC. We'll also have Hughes involved who has the most turnovers in the AP.

Robshaw & Wood are on thin ice, neither have impressed so far.

I can see Itoje & Clifford coming through next year.

Agree Clifford and itoje are probably next in line but still have to prove themselves. Can't see where Hughes Fits in as Billy and Morgan have 8 spot and he is not a 6.


Wood and robshaw have been disappointing but best options in the poor squad Lancaster picked

Think they know that if they stop SA getting a bp win and concentrate on beating Samoa next up they could end up topping the group as Japan have really thrown that group wide open. Not sure if they will stop them though.

I think they could have beat them if they'd have went for it. This isn't a great SA side.

Agree with you. Odd approach as could have won it this week and rested for Samoa and then be good for the qfs.

Hogg should have been red carded. anyone who dives in rugby should be banned for 12 months. As great a player is to watch and make no mistake he is a joy he is a toxic character.

Seymour Is a proper finisher. Great score

He didn't really dive, he just laid there. Out of order though agree, too much of that stuff lately.

Magic by Hogg ruined by an awful pass. He does that a lot off the left.

C'mon Scotland!!!

It's one of those things where if you don't stamp on it then it will grow. Dan Robson should have been hung for one he did last year. It's something that really winds me up.

Hogg is as talented as JOC was and I don't want him to go the same way. He has been involved in some really poor incidents Hogg and not many of his team mates have a nice word to say about him. He is such a talent.love watching him and he lights up the game. Has talent to play anywhere. Could not be a bigger fan of him playing wise just hope he realises his supreme talent

Great Reffing Owens. It was the Scotland man who did it, there was no way pietersen could have put him down safely. Best ref moment of wc

Weir makes about 3m every pen to touch, infuriating.

Agree there, not much in it. Surprised commentators calling for a yellow

Most refs world yellow that incorrectly. Barnes and Owens so far ahead of rest of world ref wise. They have empathy for the game

This is awful.

SL and team have to go. We've regressed at a rate this year, we don't look anywhere near a pretty average Aus team. I can't believe we're playing so badly again.
