The first games are two SA Derbies and we have to select for fantasy rugby players from the playing squads of the two teams for our fantasy rugby squads.
As a joke I made the following selections bearing in mind that the teams to play will be the following:-
Cheetahs vs Lions - Bloenfontein
Sharks vs Bulls - Durban
Props : Beast, Oosthuizen Bench : Malherbe
Hooker : Bismarck Bench : Strauss
Locks : Du Toit, De Jager Bench : Etzebeth
Back Row: Labuschagne, Botha, Van der Walt
Bench : Luatua
Scrummies : Reinach Bench : Pretorius
Flyhalfs : Goosen Bench : Anscombe
Centers : Serfontein, Jordaan Bench : De Villiers
OB's : Le Roux, Mvovo, Marais
Bench : Ben Smith
I would have selected other bench players - but basically have players on the bench that would start their campaign the following week and the limitations on transfers that would be in place and costs will also be headache
The changes I will make for the following week would be to move all or some of the bench players to the starting line up and include the following players to augment the squad:-
Props : Slipper
Loosies: Hooper. Higginsbotham
Centers : De Allende
OB's : Folau, Savea
Now lets see how clever other members are with a longer term forecast.
