Congrats Driver...nice having a bit of wedge eh

Have to say I can't wait for the season to start, am getting very impatient now.

Marker....congrats driver

Dont mind picking up the match threads if you want Driver mate

And Sale 1st up....nice 5 points there

We shall see abouth that Prop my boy!

Think I have Wasps first up, got a few things in store for 'Arry!

Me neither Pete! I'm pre-planning my teams right now along with my Tactics (Weather permitting of course lol ).


Shame i'v just worked a week in hand Pooly

Would be great Johnny mate if you could mate , might as well wack Exeter 42 Leicester 0 down in the results section for the first week

could my first 5 games be any harder?!

42-0... Thats being modest Driver mate
No worries with the match threads at all mate

You might want to put a weakened team out away from home in week 2 Nick. Give the boys a rest during that hard opening run

Who you got stnick?

We don't care about what you and 'arry are going to be doing...it's the rugby that matters!

during the World Cup period I have...

Saracens v London Wasps
Bath Rugby v Saracens
Saracens v Worcester Warriors
Leicester Tigers v Saracens
Exeter Chiefs v Saracens
Saracens v Newcastle Falcons


Difficult to call who will be strong during the first few weeks of the season, but I'd say that Tigers and Falcons are potentially very very tough fixtures.

I might start planning my team and tactics soon.

Driver when is we have to have done our foreigns by?

And I thought you were on my side since I became a mod prop, your card is now marked!

Ah cheers pete: so i'm seen as an easy 5 points am i?!

Now did I say that prop? or did I say that it's difficult to call?

Un knot your knickers and man up, I thought you were a big tough prop!

Prop


Tough few opening games for me

Leicester Tigers (A)
Newcastle Falcons (H)
Bath Rugby (A)
London Wasps (H)
Saracens (H) - Easy win though this one
Northampton Saints (A)
Ospreys (H) - LV
Saracens (A) - LV


14th (Sunday) Steve

I can't see anything in the WC sides, it's going to be very tight. Think we could have some surprises at top and bottom

Heres a question.

When injuries come around will they be based on the amount of game time played by players with a bit of a random factor as well like last year?

quins, sale, northampton, newcastle and gloucester

They will be SJE

Hope coonie and Strauss do not make wc squad

I think it's unlikely Strauss will go Mat, BDP, Smit and Chilliboy will be the 3 hookers in the squad.

Cheers Driver

I know just hoping PDv does not see sense and pick them. Anything possible with him

Anything is possible with him.... except seeing sense, so I think you're probably safe.

South Africa team for weekend in PDV's head

1.Fourie Du Preez
2.Jean De Villers
3.Butch James
4 - 11: Seven Dwalfs from snow white
12.Flying monkey from Wizard of OZ
13.The Referee
14.Bart Simpson
15.Peter Griffin

I reckon playing the referee at 13 is a cracking idea.

especially outside the flying monkeys

Could be the new Jauzion with the Ariel vision he'll bring to the game from 12.

Strauss and Coonie are big outside bets really. Chill seems to be ahead of Strauss with some really good impact performances and Beast/Steenkamp seem likely to go as LH's.

My whole team is dependent upon whether Joe Simpson makes the WC squad, be interesting to see the England team this weekend and whether he makes the bench or not...imagine they will want to give Care and Flood a game together.

Also hearing that Halfpenny might not make it...

Tuilagi is definitely oging now, so its good old Lualala in the backline for me, just working out best 12 I have as a partner for him.

http://www.espnscrum.com/england/rugby/story/145824.html

anyone see this happening?

Not really but it's good to keep Foden on his toes, he's a class above Armitage though I think

No chance, Foden is head and shoulders above Armitage - though not a bad second option to have and must be a bench player as can cover wings, 13 and 15...

I think Johnson knows who is going to start and its a case of him sorting out a few other issues, he wont change from -

1. Sheridan
2. Hartley
3. Cole
4. Lawes
5. Palmber
6. Croft
7. Moody
8. Easter
9. Youngs
10. Flood
11. Cueto
12. Hape
13. Tins
14. Ashton
15. Foden

Players under threat for me are Sheridan and Cole with re-emergence of Stevens, Moody for Haskell and the entire midfield.

Reckon Cole is alright

dont know Steven, when was last time he started for Tigers?

i'd start with cole but stevens must be close for a spot. good impact player too.

i would say delon on top form is at fodens level but foden is more consistent and has a better temper. i may be slightly biased but reckon matt may agree with me on that one?!

When Foden is on top form I'd say he was better than Armitage - he's turned into one of those players that gets the whole crowd excited each time he gets the ball.

Armitage can be great, but I'd always want Foden in my England team. I'm thinking that we might need to move Cueto on quite soon - could Armitage start on the wing, is he good enough positionally to play there? As he'd give the same sort of game that Cueto offers, but he can score tries too!

yeh agree there foden on top form is better, hes better than most on top form though. best in NH.

wouldnt start Delon on the wing although he can do a good job there.

who would you have on the wing? i think Cueto adds some balance to the back three but he just doesnt score tries and I dont think you can have a winger at international level who does that

not monye or strettle
banahan or sharples I guess if not Cueto.

See Sharples coming in more over the next year or so, he's progressed beyond sight. Could be a great partner for Foden/Ashton

I'll bring up this quote when I beat you then!!

hope your not being drafted into the riot police are you pete?

No, I used to be riot trained but gave it up about 4 years ago. Friends of mine from my force have been sent up there to assist though. My eldest daughter was a t a rehearsal for a show in Croydon this evening which had to be cut short and everyone got out in a hurry. Worrying times mate.

We had riots in Bristol a few months ago. They were idiots and police should have been heavier handed. Armitage is the equal of foden but his attitude stinks.armitage has a kicking game which foden does not have

I live in between Croydon and Colliers wood both of which are burning :/

Police need tear gas, rubber bullets etc
