howdy all,

as we close in on the final few rounds, one cant help but wonder just how both the official spXV ladder and the very competitive fanatsy rugby/superbru ladders will turn out. exciting times.

oimatey continues his wicked run in the cup challenge, so we need to continue cheering for him enough so that he can beat his opponent, but not score higher then us, LMAO, :oP

kings have been the most friendly team for the fantasy folks, always naming thier team ahead of others, so thanks to the EP boys, and if it wouldnt be too much trouble, lets beat those cheetahs and give my kiwi teams some breathing room in the top 6, ;o;z, :o)

hurricanes have the bye this week and the chiefs, sharks & force the week after, so transfer ur players accordingly.

here is a link for the match officials in round 15
www.sarugby.com/forum.cfm

and as always, good luck to ur teams both in the spXV and in the fantasy realm, :o)

Crusaders: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Tom Marshall, 13 Ryan Crotty, 12 Tom Taylor, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Codie Taylor, 1 Wyatt Crockett.

Replacements: 16 Ben Funnell/Laurence Corlett, 17 Joe Moody, 18 Dominic Bird, 19 Luke Whitelock, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Robbie Fruean, 22 Telusa Veianu.

Israel Dagg recalled, Robbie Fruean dropped, Codie Taylor starts and I'm guessing Tom Taylor will continue taking the place kicks?

Chiefs: 15 Robbie Robinson, 14 Patrick Osborne, 13 Charlie Ngatai, 12 Bundee Aki, 11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 8 Matt Vant Leven, 7 Tanerau Latimer, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Craig Clarke (c), 3 Ben Tameifuna, 2 Hika Elliot, 1 Pauliasi Manu.

Replacements: 16 Mahonri Schwalger, 17 Toby Smith, 18 Michael Fitzgerald, 19 Sam Cane, 20 Augustine Pulu, 21 Dan Waenga, 22 Lelia Masaga.

Patrick Osborne replaces Lelia Masaga and Ben Tameifuna replaces the injured Ben Afeaki.

Waratahs:15 Israel Folau, 14 Peter Betham, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Matt Lucas, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 John Ulugia, 1 Benn Robinson

Replacements: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Paddy Ryan, 18 Will Skelton, 19 Mitchell Chapman, 20 Brendan McKibbin, 21 Rob Horne, 22 Tom Kingston

Berrick Barnes replaces Rob Horne, Matt Lucas replaces Brendan McKibbin (I assume Barnes will take over place kicking duties), Sekope Kepu replaces Paddy Ryan and John Ulugia replaces the injured Tatafu Polota-Nau.

Rebels: 15 Jason Woodward, 14 Tom English, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Rory Sidey, 11 Lachlan Mitchell, 10 Bryce Hegarty, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Scott Higginbotham (c), 7 Scott Fuglistaller, 6 Jarrod Saffy, 5 Luke Jones, 4 Hugh Pyle, 3 Laurie Weeks, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Nic Henderson

Replacements:16 Shota Horie, 17 Paul Alo-Emile, 18 Cadeyrn Neville, 19 Gareth Delve, 20 Nic Stirzaker, 21 James Hilgendorf, 22 Kimami Sitauti

James O'Connor was apparently keen to play but common sense prevailed.

Bulls: 15 Jurgen Visser, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Dewald Potgieter, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Juandre Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling.

Replacements: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Grant Hattingh, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouche/Jan Serfontein, 22 Lionel Mapoe.

Two new props, Basson in for Mapoe and Meisiekind in for Serfontein. A decision will still be made on which one of Louis Fouche or Jan Serfontein will play off the bench as they both have what they're calling "niggles".

*update*

crusaders, chiefs, rebels, waratahs and bulls have been updated, :o)

good move from the crusaders bringing back dagg into the starting lineup and shuffling the midfiled to accomodate taylor. it meant benching fruean, but some time on the bench could do him some good as he hasnt been an 80min player all year. maybe the impact role might suit him better.

interesting to see the chiefs bench masaga and start patrick osbourne, no problems with starting osbourne, but i would have benched tikorotuma instead.
crusaders scrum have demolished the brumbies, blues, rebels and highlanders in thier last four game, so the chiefs are really going to have to muscle up here. i would have started to, by smith over manu, manu hasnt impressed me at this year.

wartahs alone have forced me to use two transfers this round which sucks, plus digbys out this weekend so im really on the ropes on foxsport, :o(

Hapless Stompies: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Jean de Villiers (c), 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Louis Schreuder, 8 Nizaam Carr, 7 Don Armand, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Eben Etzebeth, 4 Gerbrandt Grobler, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.

Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Chris Heiberg, 18 Marius Coetzer, 19 Rohan Kitshoff, 20 Dewaldt Duvenage, 21 Gary van Aswegen, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.

What a laughably crap team! The lack of depth in the Hapless Stompies' squad is further proof that they are genuine relegation candidates.

Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Ryno Benjamin, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Robert Ebersohn, 11 Willie le Roux, 10 Elgar Watts, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Lood de Jager, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Coenie Oosthuizen.

Replacements: 16 Ryno Barnes, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Ligtoring Landman, 19 Boom Prinsloo, 20 Sarel Pretorius, 21 Riaan Smit, 22 Raymond Rhule.

Ryno Benjamin replaces Raymond Rhule in the only change.

*update*

stormers and cheetahs have been updated, :o)

i need an outsideback and im seriously thinking of recruitng willi le roux, the chances fo them putting on a big one against the kings is good.
my other cndidate is woodward from the rebels, hes a goal kicker with some serious tow.
 

 CM - Tomane is in the wallaby squad. 

Blues

1 Tin Perry, 2 Keven Mealamu, 3 Angus Ta'avao/Sam Prattley, 4 Culum Retallick, 5 Ali Williams, 6 Brendon O'Connor, 7  Luke Braid,  8  Peter Saili,  9  Piri Weepu, 10  Chris Noakes,  11  George Moala,  12  Francis Saili,  13  Rene Ranger,  14  Frank Halai, 15  Charles Piutau

Replacements :   16  James Parsons,  17   Ofa Tu'ungafasi,  18  Anthony Boric, 19 Kane Barrett,  20  Jamison Gibson-Park, 21    Baden Kerr, 22  Jackson Willison

Serious problem here -  Luatua has a neck injury problem and is not playing,   Ta'avoa has a knee strain and may be replaced before the match

Not good news there. Willison on the bench is also a bugger for my lineup.

Brumbies

 1. Scott Sio, 2. Stephen Moore, 3. Ben Alexander, 4. Scott Fardy, 5. Sam Carter, 6. Peter Kimlin, 7. Colby Faingaa, 8. Ben Mowen, 9. Nic White, 10. Matt Toomua, 11. Joseph Tomane, 12. Christian Lealiifano, 13. Tevita Kuridrani, 14. Henry Speight, 15. Jesse Mogg.

Replacements: 16. Siliva Siliva, 17. Ruan Smith, 18. Jordan Smiler, 19. Fotu Auelua, 20. Ian Prior, 21. Robbie Coleman, 22. Clyde Rathbone.

*update*

brumbies and blues have been updated, :o)

the good thing about steven luatua being out is that he will be in most peoples team, transfers are really being pushed down my neck of the woods though, :o/
 

*update*

crusaders have been revised after an injury to owen franks ruled him out of this weeks game.

Not sure whether to sell Stephen Luatua or not. I know I'll regret selling him if the Blues make it to the playoffs. I have to sell one of my locks to make space for Hugh Pyle (top performing non-Wallaby) and it's out of Luatua, Abby Elizabeth and Luke Romano. I think I'm going to dump Luatua but the risk is it'll cost me a lot of $ if I ever want to buy him back again!

I'm also looking for a non-Wallaby non-Reds loose forward. I already have Matt Hodgson from the Force and I've earmarked one of Gareth Delve or Scott Fuglistaller for round 17 so I'd prefer a Brumbie or a Waratah.  I originally earmarked Pat McCutcheon or Lopeti Timani from the Waratahs but neither has been involved lately. Anyone know anything about their availability? Probably safer to go with Mitchell Chapman if I'm picking a Waratah . . . or else Colby Faingaa from the Brumbies?

@rooy,

no need to worry about the playoffs, as transfers are unlimited in there, so make ur picks accordingly, but from what JK was saying, luatua is at 80%, but they were just applying a caution first approach, especially as hes played every game so far.

so i would prob sell stephen if anything & keep luatua on the bench where he can pop back into ur team next week without u having to use a transfer.
i would bring in pyle this week, but transfers are a real prick this week.

in regards to good loose forwards, force have some real good looseforward stocks, hodgsons average is very impressive & i almost recruited him one week but a last minute team annoucment from jospeh allowed me to not recruit an extra loosie that week.
but auela from the brumbies and dennis from the waratahs are very good players to consider for round 17.

Sasuke, Dave Dennis was added to Dingo's Wallaby squad after George Smith picked up an injury. Not sure if he'll be involved in round 17.

My problem with Luatua isn't a lack of transfers for the playoffs, it's the money I lose if I sell him and buy him back. I paid $128k for Luatua and he's currently worth $197k, meaning I can only sell him for $162k. If the Blues make the playoffs and I decide to buy him at his current price, I'm losing a whopping $35k. it's a difficult trade-off between transfers and cash!

@rooy,

scratch dennis then obviously, but i wonder who the wararaths will get in as replacemnts, cos they just lost their entire incumbent loose forwards, o_O

i never seem to have a problem with the cash side of things, i prob operate at a loss like the example u mentioned, but all in all i always have more then enough cash to get whever i want. at the moment ive got 548k to play with and im looking to vring in jj for horne, pyle for de jager and nick phibbs for kingi. but it depends on wether du toit is starting or not.

i guess we all got our problems to deal with lolz, test rugby is not faring any better either, have only got three transfers left their too. ive sold all the players that arent playing this week and im going to have to replace them with non brumby or red aussies with the rnd 16 byes and all OZ darby in rnd17 in mind, jeebers, i need a fantasy asprin, :oP

Sasuke, I'm generally well within my budget in the Foxsport game but I did get a nasty fright a week or two ago when I tried to buy Dan Carter and found out that I couldn't afford him. I was then forced to sell the injured James O'Connor which sorted my problem for that round, but I'm quite a bit more careful about my budget since then.

There's no question that the rearranged fixtures due to the British Lions tour have made this year's S15 Fantasy comps much more complicated than usual. Like you, I've also used a lot of transfers in the Testrugby comp these last few rounds and I have no idea if I'm going to be able to field a full team in the weeks ahead . . . but I think I'm a bit better off than you if you're already down to your last 3!

Sharks:15 Riaan Viljoen, 14 Odwa Ndungane , 13 Piet Lindeque , 12 Meyer Bosman , 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod , 8 Keegan Daniel (Capt) , 7 Willem Alberts , 6 Marcell Coetzee , 5 Franco van der Merwe , 4 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Kyle Cooper, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.

Replacements: 16 Monde Hadebe, 17 Wiehahn Herbst, 18 Jandre Marais, 19 Jean Deysel, 20 Tera Mtembu, 21 Tian Meyer, 22 Sean Robinson.

The Beast is back! Pretty good team I reckon considering all the injuries. Come on Sharks!

Sasue

I sshould like normal people sleep at night and not fiddle around on the fantasy sport site,    When I read that Luatua is out - I went on site to put him on the bench and replace Bekker - since he was injured and is unlikely to play for the Stormers again.   Since Luatua plays at loosie - I did the inexusable - I forgot he is actually on the Foxsport programme given as a lock - so I charged in remove George Smith and put in Higginbotham - only afterwards did I realize that was not what I intended to do.   End result - my locks for romorrow are Pyle and PPieter-Steph Du Toit.  Already used the cancel button and could not cancel it.

I have already got nine players in my squad that will be able to play in Round 17.  I hope they give us six transfers for that Round and there will be four in Round 16.   I would be bale to put 8 key players on th bench for Round 18 and if we get 6 transfers for that round as well - I will be only one player short for that round.  

Now for the bad news - I have a slight interest in the Highlanders, Forces and Reds teams and there has been no team announcements yet.    They may announce the teams by 14:00 New Zealand time - which makes it in time for closing if fixsport - but a bloody akward time in SA.   Bloody inconsiderate of them.   Howeer, nothing much I can do - but to hope that Genia and Cowan are playing for their respective teams.

 Mike -  Wondered what time zone you were in as you always seem to be posting - truly dedicated to the fantasy cause my friend !

Not to burst the bubble but looking at your current roster (can't see all changes for the current round) but of the Aussie players you have I only see 4 that could participate in Round 17?

In:

Fuglistaller

Pyle

Robinson 

Cowan

Out (in Wallaby squad):

Higginbotham

B Robinson

Genia

O'Connor

Folau

Tomane

There's a change to the Bulls team. Frik Kirsten starts at tighthead prop and not Werner Kruger.

Apparently their names were mixed up by mistake when the team was initially announced. Kirsten starts and Kruger is on the bench.

*update*

sharks have been updated, :o)

at spXV level, that sharks team is great. even with their injuries this year, its difficult to see why they are so low on the ladder, injuries were an issue, but the teams they have played should have done better then what they did.

@mikey,
heres a lsit of the number fo transfers available for the remaining rounds,,,
Round 14 - 3
Round 15 - 3
Round 16 - 4
Round 17 - 6
Round 18 - 6
Round 19 - 6
Round 20 - 3
so it looks like ur sorted with ur plans.
ive currently got 6 players ready for rnd17, would of had 7 if it wasnt for stupid horne, so im forced to make at least two pro rnd17 transfers this week as opposed to the one like had planned originally.

im seriously considering not even wasting a transfer on the halfbacks, as they really tend to be low scorers, instead im thinking just keep mcibbin on the bench and hope he gets some decent gametime, this will allow me to bring in recruits elsewhere, possibly even 3 with that cursed all OZ darby in mind.

oi-matey & Sasue

I really am in trouble then.   The last time we wrote about when the Dean's squad will be leaving - you said that they will be available for Round 17 - and I took your word for that and made two transfers of selected players this week so as to make sure I can get to 15 players for Round 17.   Will the squad members not be available then for that Round - because they are still playing this week -  when in fact are they going to be out of selection for Super 15?

CM - thats a tragic misunderstanding. Position has always been that 25 man Wallby squad will be held out of Round 17. If you go to thread 29 in the forum about the various leaderboards you can see the discussion there regarding Horne and his surprise inclusion in the squad messing up plans for the Round 17 roster.

Sorry bro.

Reds

1 Greg Holmes,  2  Saia Faingaa,  3  James Slipper, 4  Rob Simmons,  5  James Horwill (c), 6 Jake Schatz,
7  Liam Gill,  8  Radike Samo,  9  Will Genia (vc), 10 Quade Cooper,  11  Luke Morahan, 12  Anthony Faingaa,
13  Chris Feauai-Sautia, 14  Rod Davies, 15  Jono Lance

Replacements : 16  James Hanson. 17  Ben Daley, 18  Ed O’Donoghue, 19  Eddie Quirk,  20 Beau Robinson,
21   Ben Lucas, 22  Ben Tapuai

Nothing unexpected - they should be far too good for the Stormers.

Highlanders

1 Tony Woodcock, 2 Liam Coltman, 3 Ma’afu Fia, 4 Brad Thorn (captain), 5 Josh Bekhuis, 6 TJ Ioane, 7 John Hardie, 8 Mose Tuiali’i, 9 Aaron Smith, 10 Hayden Parker, 11 Hosea Gear (vc), 12 Ma’a Nonu, 13 Tamati Ellison, 14 Jason Emery, 15 Ben Smith

Replacements : 16 Andrew Hore, 17 Bronson Murray, 18 Joe Wheeler, 19 Elliot Dixon, 20 Fumiaki Tanaka, 21 Colin Slade, 22 Tino Nemani/Trent Renata

*update*
highlanders and reds have been updated, :o)

thats a very strong highlanders team, best one they could field minus the injuries of course.
im getting a good feeling that they will put on a big score against the force, though it wont be the first time ive been wrong regarding the landers, lolz, :oP

im surprised to see faainga start over tapuaii, especially as faaingas been pretty kak at 12, tapuaii is a million times better then him.

Just for the reccord - the Chiefs has named an unchanged team for the game tomorrow.  The team is as follows:-

Force

Replacements :  16  James Hilterbrand, 17  Tetera Faulkner,  18  Rory Walton, 19  Richard Brown, 20  Brett Sheehan, 21  Junior Rasolea, 22  Sam Norton-Knight

This announcement was made long after fantasy closing times - modt unfair - I believe.
