I'll be Ok when the World Cup ends...

But surely they'll be resting after it.

Quiet you !

Am in

Decided to give it a go so I'm in too.

The Eventual Champions are all signed up lads. If my fantasy football form is anything to go by expect me to lead the table from now until May.

Built myself up for a massive fall but I'm alright with that Have ye all seen the statistics {fan sign up} yoke on the left hand side of the site? Really good to see a fair amount of Italian fans playing (could be neutrals supporting them but I'm hoping that the Italians are starting to love the pro12 already). Poor Scots at the bottom though

Just joined the league, and let my 2 year old make most of the selections for me. Just hope I do as well as I did on the ESPN fantasy league.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Im so annoyed; turns out I went in with only 14 players! I don't know how... wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't just three points off the top

That prop slot could have made the difference

Still got today's results to add in, but I definitely paid for rushing to put my team together only an hour before the season kicked off. I'm slightly ashamed to say that a few of the players I picked didn't even play this weekend....

I had three players that didn't play Notch....could easily have that second spot of yours had I not been a complete gobshoite Only week 1 though plenty of time for me to cut down your lead and RDW's of course....

Haha, well, yes. Plenty of time for the natural order of things to resume...

I did the sports guru one to be honest.

POOL POSITION
Global 49 / 1,934 (TOP 3% - GREAT!)
Ospreys Fans ► 9 / 249
Autopool 041 ► 2 / 20

I are kicking bottom to be honest

Oh I'm third in the forum pool

I took Rodney Ah You out and stuck Duncan Jones in at the last minute. Head wrecked.

I like this game though, the points are based on minutes played, defensive displays and attacking bonuses. That’s much better than any other fantasy rugby game I’ve played so far. I hope to stick with this one!

I wish they'd hurry up and put the Scarlets scores in there. I've got Rhys Thomas. should be good for a few points...

If only I have chosen the leagues current top try scorer....

Blues 3rd choice loosehead prop - Sam Hobbs

New leagues is up and running for this season

League - 606v2 2012/2013

Tried to join Scarlet, says the league does not exist?

I've gone with.

Well lads

Don't post much but read quite often. I have gone for


Richard Hibbard

Alastair Kellock
Ian Gough
John Barclay
Peter O'Mahony
LEO AUVA'A
Greig Laidlaw

Not sure why madigan is down as a winger but hopefully he will be kicking for the first few weeks. Don't know how but managed to have 15m left

If any of you are having problems joining the league try copying and pasting the following

League Name

606v2 2012/2013


Password

988ead2a

I have picked a team, how do I enter it into a league ?

In the league section, just type in this password - 988ead2a

ScarletsSpiderman made a clerical error and missed out an extra 8.

cheers Mick

Right, now I've been added to the 606V2 league I am ready to lord it over you all when I crush you.

Also I think somebody should make the 606v2 league into a sticky.

What leagues are everyone in and how do I join them ? There are only 6 people in the 606v2 league, then I am in a Welsh league and an Ospreys league, but I want to be in the same league as you lot.

Cheers for clearing that up.

Did you think I was being sarcastic? Because I wasn’t! everyone knows that you cram as many kickers into your team as possible, that’s the spirit of fantasy rugby, if the game developers accidentally put an outhalf on the wing, then it’s our prerogative, nay DUTY to exploit that to it’s fullest. And at 5.5 there’s no doubt he’s undervalued!

Re-working myself through the boxset again. Guessing you're looking forward to the new series.

Jeebus no Mick! I knew you weren't being sarky. I was just responding in kind, so to speak.

Anyway sure we all know Madigan is only fourth choice kicker ....

Oh yes, Filming started yesterday I believe, Ron Howard posted photos of the cast on twitter. I nearly blue myself with excitement.

Thomond and Notch are also big fans, it’s a mystery to me how it’s not more popular to be honest. It’s the finest TV comedy ever made IMO.

I have a feeling he will be first choice this year, just a sneaking suspish.

Tut, Tut, I am shaking my head in arrogance at the sheer stupidity of this side. You have gone and picked to many centrally contracted Irish players, thus they will miss half the season due to being wrapped in cotton wool by the IRFU. Anyway your side is far to inferior to the mighty warriors side.

I couldn't even predict who will start for Ulster (my team) with the central contracted players missing never mind make calls for who will play for Munster and Leinster.

Needless to say, there will be some serious fine tuning when the teams are announced!

Lord Dowlais - just looking at your side, you have only 1 goal kicker in your side, surely that is going to hamper you.

Clivemcl - is Ruan with the Saffer side for the 4Ns?

Yeah Pienaar is away with the saffers for the 4 nations Scarlet he came on v Argentina at the weekend.

So that keeps him out until the end of October then.

Yes but I have a lot of players who will be getting a lot of game time, also I have tried to put a lot of potetial try scorers in there.
