Sasue

I give you one guess as t who of the coaches is on the shit list this week.   Kirwan beats the hell out of the others - byt I think the Brumbies and warathas coach is fighting a nassive battle to get to him. I need confimation of selections by these three scheizters  before I cn finalizew my selections for this round. 

Brumbies: 

Jesse Mogg, Henry Speight, Tevita Kuridrani, Christian Lealiifano, Joseph Tomane, Matt Toomua, Ian Prior, Fotu Auelua, George Smith, Ben Mowen (capt), Sam Carter, Peter Kimlin, Dan Palmer, Stephen Moore, Scott Sio.

Replacements: 16 Edgar Marutlulle, 17 Jaco Engels, 18 Rynier Bernardo, 19 Devin Oosthuizen, 20 Nicolas Vergallo, 21 Waylon Murray, 22 Elric van Vuuren.

Hope they do not lose by too much - a  loosing margin of 25 should be th best the Kings can hope for.

*update*

*kings have been updated, :o)

u know guys, im really looking forward to my testrugby.com team hitting the field this week, already used a good chunk of my transfers though, LMAO, so i gotta make the rest of selections smart & safe, :o)

also i hope folks note that afeaki is starting on the bench this week, hes a regular in most peoples teams.
as long as their arent any more surprises for the week, i should be fine, but kirwans late naming of the team has me worried too, :o/
 

Sasue

The Western Force did not give a team for the match - they merely gave a list of 23 players of which 4 are flank forwards.   That mean that one of the flank forwards are bound to sit out.   There is no indications of which of the players will be on the bench and which ones in the starting line up.  The one player I had problems with of whether he will be starting or on the bench is Wykes.   He is replacing a player that was on the bench last week - but that could mean that one of the locks of the starters last week - could move down to the bench.  In view of the past history on Wykes I would think McMeniman would be on the bench and Wykes in the starting line-up.  I do not expect many other changes from the team of last week - but for the return of Hodgson as captain.

Since a squad like the one published is not at all helpful to fantasy players I looked atthe situation as to th past and especially the Reds game.    Based on the study made and the recent past history of players, I have compiled the following as the likely team and bench members:-

Force :  1  Pek Cowan,  2   Nathan Charles, 3  Salesi Ma'afu, 4  Sam Wykes, 5  Toby Lynn, 6  Chris Alcock, 7  Richard Brown,   8 Matt Hodgson (c),  9  Alby Mathewson,  10   Sias Ebersohn, 11 Alfie Mafi, 12  Kyle Godwin,  13  Winston Stanley,  14  Patrick Delitt,  15  Will Topau

Replacements :  16   Heath Tessmann,  17 Tetera Faulkner,  18  Hugh McMeniman,  19  Angus Cottrell/Ben McCalman, 20   Mick Snowden,  21  Junior Rasolea,, 22  Jayden Hayward.

I think the above would be as near as possible to the actual team named - but don't blame me if there is a mistake - I tried my best.  Maybe you should put in the above team - with a cautionary note.

Now onto my favourite coach of the Blues and the bullshitter from the Waratahs.   May spmebody please fry Kirwan's balls and feed it to the pigs and may somebody kick the backside of the Waratahs coach - maybe that will wake them up.  LOL

I have finished my squad for Test Rugby and am waiting for the team announcments for the Waratahs and Blues to finalize the Foxsport squad.   This week I am going to kick ass big time.  Steyn is gone and now Jordaan is going to perform really op class and I put in Du Toit as my one lock on Testrygby - nice and cheap and he is bound to score better than Retallick.  LOL 

@mikey,

i recruited du toit as soon as i seen his name in the squad, thought he was good last year, but hes seems to be the type of player who gets better the tougher the game is, so its quite scary what he could turn into in a Boks jersey.
an lock pairing of ezebeth & dutoit is somehting that im warming up to big time.

got rid of marcel cotzee from my team for the first time since the sharks/lions game in early march, an end to a one year relationship, :o(
knowing my luck he will make a million tackles and score 20 tries this weekend, lolz, :oP

Sasue

You are a friend and a gentleman - So I don't mind at all.  Tell me why do you cotton on to the players I mention on this site - first Labuschagne - now Du Toit.  My competitiveness is a goner.  LOL

Anyone else having a tough time picking locks this week?

Blues suck as well.

Canrugby

I had plenty problems elsewhere - but nothing  at lock.   The easiest position possible - I went for Du Toit (very nice and very cheap) and Bekker.   Wish every othe position was as easy as that one.   Sasue also went for Du Toit.

@mikey,

unfortunately for me i only get to see the SA talent at blitzbok, u20, CC, spXV and Bok level, so i do pay attention when folks here say look out for such and such.
so no surprises, du toit was a natural selection as was labschange, ur tips on both labuschange was well worth the gamble and im sure du toit will follow suit, :o)
jordaan and allende are massive disapppointments though, & while i never or will ever recruit allende, jordaan is out of my team as soon as i get a free transfer.

i love my testrugby team at the moment, but kirwan is really screwing me up at the moment, need that team announced ASAP, very nervous in regards to testrugby, cos i already recruited my blues players, :o(

@canrugby,

steven luatua is real good value for money, one of the top locks on both comps, but kirwan is being a right royal prick, hope he dosent name his team after the deadline, a possibilty since thier games on sunday, o_O

sam whitelock & bekker are perfomring very well too.

Sasuke,

I know of him now. I also need a hooker and Parsons is on my radar but they need to name their bloody team!!! The Blues do this every weekend. Very Annoying.

Screw the Blues and Waratahs coaches - use barbed wire.   Less than 10 hours to go and no team announcements yet.   I am lucky - i have no players from those two teams in my Test Rugby side - but have Robinson *Waratahs and Piutau in my Foxsport squad

Sasue

At long last - hre is he team for the Waratahs

Waratahs

1. Benn Robinson 2. John Ulugia 3. Paddy Ryan 4. Sitaleki Timani 5. Kane Douglas 6. Dave Dennis (c) 7. Michael Hooper 8. Pat McCutcheon 9. Brendan McKibbin 10. Bernard Foley 11. Drew Mitchell 12. Rob Horne 13. Adam Ashley-Cooper 14. Peter Betham 15. Israel Folau

Replacements 16. Luke Holmes 17. Sekope Kepu 18. Mitchell Chapman 19. Jed Holloway 20. Matt Lucas 21. Ben Volavola 22. Tom Kingston

Kirwan is a lousy fucker - repeat that after me - Kirwan is a lousy fucker.

It is twice now that the Blues has not announced their team in time to participate in the fantasy selections with real confidence.  I have had to include Piutau in my Foxzport selection - but in the ciircumstance I have to sit with him - hoping he would play in the end.   I am really happy that is the only player from the Blues I have in any of the selections - and I am sure that Sasue is in a worse situation. 

*update*

waratahs have been updated, :o)
 

*update*

blues have been FINALLY updated,o_O

and now mikey dosent have to kill kirwan, cos piutau is playing, :o)

Sasue

Thanks for that one on the Blues.    Kirwan - all is forgiven until the next time he does the same.  LOL

Listen rather than going wih nothing iro the Force team - I still suggest your putting in  the team I suggested above -with a precautionary note that there may be differences as the starting line up and bench, because they are not about to give the team before an hour before the actual match is being played.   I have no players from the Force in my teams  - but  others may not be so lucky.

@mikey,

hae updated the force team with a little sidenote, got a feeling that maafu will start on the bench, faulkners been one of the standouts for the force in 2013.

force have a good chane to pip the cheetahs, smart moneys on the cheetahs of course, but no goosen, & forces win over the red last week dosent make this outcome all black and white.
sias and mathewson while rejects from their own countries are building a nice combination and becoming stars in their own right, but small fish big pond is an accurate description of the aussie confernce, LMAO, :oP

good luck to ur team, i gambled a bit on foxsport, white benched alexander, rennie benched afeaki and coetzee benched fourie plus the crusaders vs kings was weighiong heavily on my mind, so i used up a bit of transfers & gambled on by not chnaging any of my props. im counting on afeaki to come on for the chiefs and at least score 15pts for my team, that will make my gamble.

uzumaki clan!!!

The Blues suck donkey ass.

Don't mind my lock combo, so missing out on Luatua wasn't to bad. But I wanted Parsons. Had to go with Hanson and I'm not happy with that choice as I know Faingaa will probably replace him quickly.
