We are waiting on Pullthestrings to pick his players in a couple of positions, LDCPete to do the same aswell as inthefastlane.

Steven you can pick your loosehead prop and first winger, while Luke you can pick your fly-half.

Im going offline now so hopefully the above people will do the aboves, then if your next in line just follow the path that I stated please.

Thanks guys will be on later, to update some action and players hopefully.

Managed to get my phone on this, so will try and keep in touch! Got a full hip flask and @ the cricket

Fabien Pelous
Serge Blanco
John Eales

Are my picks!

jesus prop McCaw & Zin Zan!! ouch

I will pick Jeff Wilson and Craig Dowd

feck jeff wilson

Argh I was going to go for wilson oh well:
Prop-Olo Brown
Wing-Ieauen Evans (welsh )

Guys I am offline tonight and most of the weekend. I am wanting to put quite a bit of research into a few of these, and won't be at a Pc till monday morning. Bare with me basically.

My fly half choice is Larkham.

Olo brown. nothing to be sniffed at. great player

Olo is a great shout, was on my list too.

Will do my picks in the next hour, just sorting the kids out.

See hon, my knowledge as a front rower with the old man on the end of the blower!! Ahh whiskey and cricket

Ahhh prop at the lashings listening to a bad cover band drinking G&T perfect!

I'm going for Matfield

1 over, rain again so we're off to the pub

Raining everywhere Prop, was you going to watch Gloucestershire v Essex or Glamorgan v Hampshire or some other stuff?

Driver you have to pick your number 4 lock and a full-back.
LDCPete sorting his kids out nothing wrong with that.
Pullthestrings you have a couple of picks.
Banafan action man your turn to pick at fly-half.

fly half ok on it. not sure I am sober enough yet!

are we still dong the two choices on each go? or isn't just the fly half?
otherwise I am picking fly half and 1 free choice?
bear let me know ?

Here are my picks for the rounds where it is my turn.

1. French International and first Frenchman to play Super Rugby Christian Califano
6. 1981 French Grand Slam winning captain Jean-Pierre Rives
7. England's greatest ever openside Peter Winterbottom
8. One of the hardest men ever to grace a rugby pitch, Wayne 'Buck' Shelford
9. 1995 World Cup winner Joost van der Westhuizen

Couple of quite chancy ones I reckon but I'm hoping the younger guys will look them up and see how highly they are rated.

Bakkies Botha and Christian Cullen

From rounds six and sixteen to ten and twenty you only pick one player in the first position stated, as we haven't picked starting hookers, props and scrum-halfs.

Free choices will be seperate and will be left till last.

yeah that makes sense and is fair. I thought having after choice would be unfair!


In that case in that vase I will have a quick think and choose in 1 second

Forgot I need to do a winger as well, will be back in a sec.

Was very close to going for califano myself Pete.

Hon you won't be able to pick your free chocice untill the very end i don't think. Like I can't pick a 2nd scrum half untill all the first scrum halfs are done.

My lock choice is David Giffin

ok after a lot of thought. this might be a contentious one but I am going for the top lions points scorer. a player who's defense is fearless. some one how even after 4 years out through injury is still up in the top scorers position. someone who if lush come to shove you know will kick the points. and who is now currently playing the best rugby of his life . . .

Johnny wilkinson

11. One time leading try scorer in Super Rugby Joe Roff.

My other Lock Choice is Wade Dooley and my Full back is Gavin Hastings

arghhh roff dam it - he's the man

My loosehead shortlist was Du Randt, Smith and Califano, so when I saw I was 9th pick I didn't think I would get any of them, so really pleased nobody went for him.

Hon,

I refuse to agree Wilkinson is playing better now that he was fro 98 - 03.

If he was Toulon would be in the HC next season

anyway yeah

Johnny wilkinson is mbchoice for flyhalf

nah steve seriously I haven't seen himplay better rugby for a long time ntkp points scorer I be top 14 2 seasons running and plYkng some amazing rubgy. he's really coming out of his shell.

and dont forget rugby is a team game other wise picot and contepomi would have won the world cup n

Time for Luke to get busy, Prop's turn to pick his locks and full-back, Pullthestrings will be along later no doubt.

And time for me to pick my fly-half.

Do i need to pick a winger to go with Bakkies?

I really sh I t out on locks position on the draft.

Driver - RIP 606 wrote:Do i need to pick a winger to go with Bakkies?

No mate, can't do the second winger until everyone has had a first one (round 11)

For my fly-half im going with Grant Fox.

grant fox. nice

All luke, pullthestrings and prop choices then.

We just have to sit back and wait

Driver, BBM prop and tell him to pull his finger out! lol

LDCPete wrote:Driver, BBM prop and tell him to pull his finger out! lol

Done!

Also with Luke, banafan picks are right behind is so we would get the ball rolling quicker because banafan never stops for a minute with games like this.

yeah we have to be a bit patient dude.
I am going o be out almost all day tomorrow without Internet as well!!

Prop said Matt Burke and will get back to you on the lock tomorrow

Ahh just Luke and pullthestrings now.

Poor banafan bet you are dying to get in there asap.

am cool mate not in any rush. I will be holding you all up tomorrow!

LDCPete if your still around I will let you choose your full-back mate.

YeaH am thinking on it mate, can't decide but will let you know shortly.

BREAKING NEWS.

It says luke is online on the portal, fingers crossed he is ready to get thinking, banafan you might be in luck very soon.

oooooooooooo

He has gone offline, unlucky banafan he has made you wait.

Pullthestrings is usually on at night, maybe we can get some luck through him.
