Nice one mate

Predictions needed from:

Driver
Fluxy
Steven
Luke

Jeremy, what/who do you feel could make the biggest upset of the 2011 RWC?
Tom, Scotland

Hi Tom, I think you might be setting me up here with you coming from Scotland?! No surprises in Pool A, France and New Zealand to qualify.

Dan Carter will hope to inspire New Zealand to their first World Cup crown
Pool B two out of Scotland, Argentina and England, likely to be Scotland and England, and I would be surprised if England didn't top the pool.
Pool C, Australia and Ireland qualify.
Pool D, Wales and South Africa qualify. Surprises are likely to come in the quarter-finals.

Not sitting on the fence at all Jerry!

Fellas.. Come on!

I've done mine?

There's extra time Sam.

I know driver's away in tunisia bud.

Let's get these end of season votes in guys!! Don't want to have to be chasing you all come Sunday.

England team



Ben Foden, Chris Ashton, Manu Tuilagi, Mike Tindall (captain), Delon Armitage, Jonny Wilkinson, Richard Wigglesworth, Andrew Sheridan, Steve Thompson, Dan Cole, Louis Deacon, Courtney Lawes, Tom Croft, James Haskell, Nick Easter



Couple of interesting selections, great to see Manu Tins combo and Wilko at ten. Sarries back up scrum half starts for England in a WC game.

AUGUST MOTM:

Congratulations to the winners!

1. Bathite
2. Pull
3. Prop

wooooo I won something again!!

Guessing we need to start talking about erl 5 soon then!! I'd say maybe aim for transfers open 1st october?

Good idea prop, im definitely up for it like I said.

What teams will be included, I think as the French teams will be far more superior this season due to capturing Super 15 players, I think there should be more.

Maybe cut out teams like Bath, Northampton and Ospreys out. Leicester, Saracens and Leinster still have very strong sides.

Cut out the Heineken Cup Finalists out of a best of Europe competition? What a fool!


I'd suggest Racing Metro need to be included as well as possibly Ulster. Sadly Bath might miss the cut.

And obviously Gloucester need to reappear yeah Saints have to be there!!

Perpignan are very good aswell and Racing Metro.

Leinster should be included, Leicester are still strong and have depth, Saracens have added well. Northampton even though they got to the Heineken Cup final, are still weaker than Leinster, and understandably on paper Leicester and Saracens.

8-10 teams possibly Pull?

Biarritz, Clermont, Perpignan, Racing Metro, Stade/Toulon, Toulouse, Saracens, Leicester, Leinster, Ulster?

Season 5 won't be until after the RWC

Might do 10 teams - 5 from NH and 5 from SH..

Loving the sound of that Pull! really exciting! Would be awesome to have S15 in there and after the WC means that I will be in the country and available to help as before.

So.......?



SH

Reds

Blues

Crusaders

Stormers

Waratahs?



Who would be the 5th? Brumbies had a shocker, so did Rebels, but have signed Beale and JOC. Maybe Sharks?



NH

Toulon (definate, big signings)

Toulouse

Leicester

Leinster



Leaving: Sarries, Munster, Ulster, Biarritz, Stade (lots of signings), Metro, Clermont (signings!)

I'd probably go:

Northern Hemisphere
Toulouse
Toulon
Leicester
Leinster
Ospreys?

Southern Hemisphere
Bulls
Crusaders
Blues
Reds
Waratahs

I want a good scope of the world, not necessarily the best teams.

Do options and a draw again, thought it worked well

True...

Northampton/Clermont/Stade over Ospreys

Pull

I'm currently trapped in 32 degrees heat with an all inclusive bar and I'm getting less sober by the minute till Monday so I won't be on a CPU to predict.

I wish you could all understand my pain!

Sorry to hear that drives, sounds awful!

Chin up Driver

Sorry to hear that Driver...sounds like an awful experience!!

Morning.. Bathite - do you want to calculate results?

Yeah ok, will be tonight though

FINAL SCORE

Congrats to old man Pooly, Toulouse have been at the top of the league all season and rightfully win ERL 5 after a convincing 30-22 win in the Playoff Final.

Toulouse 30 - 22 Scottish Highlanders
(T) Read, Genia, Medard ; Jane, Whitelock
(C) Carter (3/3) ; Cooper (0/2)
(P) Carter (3/4) ; Cooper (4/5)
MOTM: Carter

Werthers Orginals all round!

The double!!!!

Cheers lads, promise not to be Toulouse again

Well done mate, how did you decide teams last time around? What about for ERL5?

Pooly

Cheers Luke, first win on ERL that.

Was a draw to see who picked in what order. Think I came out 2/3

Can't believe that someone would pick 2 teams before choosing Toulouse! Shocking

Think 207 was before me, he fancied a challenge with Highlanders. Didn't do too badly!

Wow, good lad, that's really impressive. I figured that they would have been near the bottom of the pile

Good work Pooly, i'll have a for you!! Roll on ERL5!!

Yer Bathite I'd just won it with Toulon (also 1st pick) and with a budget of around 50m, decided to go to a worse team for a 90m budget. Might be a division 1 team next year

I think we should go the reverse order of last season

The Reds would be all mine

Pls don't give Steve the Reds.....he'll have a semi on all season

Good to hear people mixing it up! Different winners each year in the ERL?
