I also participated in Test Rugby - but since you only have to pick twelve players and not a full team - providing as well for bench selections - Test Rugby is more or less like an extended form of what Superbru calls Fantasy Light.
The real challenge is where you must select a full team of players inclusive of bench players. It is more challenging than Test Rugby and even though I am also participating in Test Rugby - I am less interested in that one than in Foxsport.
I am very happy for you iro of your performance on Test Rugby - and certainly congratulates you in your achievements in that competition. However, If I have a straight choice between Foxsport and Test Rugby - I will not participate in the Test Rugby competition at all. I am sure that you would do even better in the more challenging Fox Sport competition.

As a matter of interest our League is after Round 3 ninth in the League competition against 1311 Leagues and I am at present in number 141 out of more than 15 000 participants.
We scored big-time in Round 4 and might move up significantly in the League competition and members will advance strongly in the individual competition too. The final outcome on Foxsport iro of Round 4 will only be announced today and all our League members are looking forward to where our league would be this week. In the case of Foxsport - the League members compete against each other in the points table - as well as a Head-to-Head competition - but they also work together as a League to improve our League standing.
Having lots of time available as a pensioner - I also participate in a competition run by the New Zealand Herald on exactly the same lines as Foxsport - the only difference is the funding issue - and in that competition after Round 4 I am in position 10 out of 7533 participants.
In any event I am much more interested in the full version of Fantasy rugby - ie Foxsport - than the abridged version of Test Rugby.
