Fantasy Rugby - New Zealand Herald Dream Team

The results for last week was not recorded on this site earlier, because I was so busy trying to sort out the Round 2 issue.  
However, for what it is worth - here are the results for Round 1:-
Clevermike           =     446Waimak               =     420Lightbringers        =     396Marshatron          =     384Brycy's Battlers    =     382AllBlackz90          =     377Hurricaned          =     351Ali Williams          =     340Black Power        =    317 Wardad              =    306
I see that the teams selected by Justin Marshall (Marshatron) and Ali Williams had been added to our saruckersforum league (Hurricaned may also be one of those)  and we need to up our game to beat those two (or three) rookies comprehensively.
Round 2 will end Today - so we will not know the final results for Round 2 before tomorrow afternoon .
The clever members of the League were those who had Milner-Skudder as captain.          

 The provisional results for Round 2 thus far was as follows:-
1.   Brycy's battlers       =     4962.   Black Power            =     4743.   Clevermike              =     4464     Wardad                        =       406
5    Waimak                  =     4056    Lightbringers           =     3967     AllBlackz90                  =       390
8     Hurricaned                   =       367
9    Marshatron             =     36610   Ali Williams                  =       200


There are still some games to play ands the above figures needs  to be audited as well.          

 Difference between seventh abdctop four really s cap. I lost fifty odd points wrong cap choice. Barrett went over 100 tho. 

 Forgot I was in it so didnt get to change out non starters ,Whens the next round start and lock-out?

 Wardad
As I could make out the first game for Round 3 starts on Tuesday - however check the team selection thread I posted earlier, please.
This is a nightmare situation.   We do not get the team announcements early enough to make sure we have the righ t playing players in our teams.

Thanks for the above.  Black Power and Brycy did very well this Round and must be congratulated on their achievements.
I am not sure how I am going to handle Round 3 - since the first game is on Tuesday afternoon - England time and the last games on Sunday.  We will by Tuesday have really no team announcements for the  upcoming games and it will be a mammoth guess as to who would actually play this week.
I hope we would at least have the AB team before closing time this week,  Some of the games are crucial for tead wanting to fo through to the quarter-finals, eg
*   South Africa*   Australia*   England*   Scotland
None of the other games are crucial for qualifying for the play-offs.
One would assume that the above teams would select their top players for the games and it would be helpful if members could come up with suggestions as to who should be considered for inclusion.  
I will give my choices by tomorrow evening and hope others would help as well.
       

 Re Aussie I heard about 12 or so players out of the Urugray game won't be playing.. Foley, Pocock, Hooper, Folau certainties though. RE NZ v Georgia, NZ well be playing close to their top side, so 1-8 should be 1. Woodcock 2. Coles 3. O Franks 4. S Whitelock 5. Retalluck 6. kaino 7. Mccaw 8. Read I am guessing. Backline possibly 15. Skudder/Smith 14. Naholo 13. Smith 12. Nonu 11. Savea 10. Carter 9. A Smith. I am just guessing their, but likely.

 I would say that you are likely correct.  If the AB's keep on changing the team like they did against Namibia - the top players will not have the necessary game time by the Quarterfinals.   
I was frankly disappointed in what Whitelock and Romano produced against Namibia and that against a team of amateurs and part-time players,   
Insofar as the Springboks are concerned - the team except for the injury cases is likely to be the same as the one that played in the Samoa test.   We will know by today whether De Allende and Kriel will be available on Saturday.   Same with Matfield.  I would say the team is likely to include Le Roux, Habana, Pietersen, Pollard, Du Preez, Vermeulen, Louw, Burger, Etzebeth. Malherbe, Strauss and Beast, but may be incorrect and would look at the medical reports expected today.
