There are three Fantasy selections that will be coming up, namely -
* Superbru* Test Rugby* Foxsport.
There is also that Dream Team selection of the NZ Herald. Insofar as the latter oe is concerned I have lost the info when my computer system was destroyed by a lightning strike. You may have more info on that one.
Insofar as Test Rugby is concerned - I think that Rooinek started a League years ago called Stupidzone (SZ) which is still in operation. Test Rugby is not live yet - so we wil have to wait to start with a membership drive - that will happen in the first two weeks in February.
Sasue used to take charge of the Foxsport membership and league formation - but he has been missing from the site for 4 months. The Foxsport Fantasy competition is not live yet - and one can only hope he is back soon when this competition opens up. Matter of fact I miss the guy - he really knows his rugby.
I will have a look at Superbru and will do the necessary. The fact is that with Superbru cost of players is not an issue - but the limitation of team membership is. In that case the limit is four players from any team - so you can pick internationals without having to take into account player costs. But that is not always the best way to go. For instance - Carter would be a good proposition - but is he going to produce points? He has been out so often from competitive rugby over the past year - one would not know.
Please check on the Dream Team issue and report back on the issue.

There are in fact dozens of Fantasy Games - and last year I was involved in four games - which is way too heavy a work load and I think that we should try and limit the selections to two or three competitions at most.
Some of the games entails selection of players for a dream team where you cannot change players during the competition and replacements are limited to players who have longer term injuries only. I think the two games you mentioned above are both in that category. That basically entails a one-off selection and may not be of interest to members
