Sasuke San: 


Here's my Fox Fantasy Rugby team. Not too different from yours but I think with Braid, Beale & B Smith you will get more points than my team. For some reason I am reluctant to use my wild card so I am still playing with an average team. Haven't made my final decision on if to start Dagg or Le Roux. probably go with Dagg as he makes less mistakes. Hoping Retallick will have a big game as he was out for a week.


PR: Ben Robinson, ben franks, VC (R) S Van der meer

HK: Nathan Charles , (R) Clemin Lewis

LK: B Retallick, sam whitelock, (R) F Uys

LF: ardie savea, kerean read, Pieter Labuschagne; R Jaco Kriel

HB: TK Barlow (R) TJ Perenara

FH: A Cruden, (R) marnitz boshoff

CT: Ryan Croti, F Steyn, (R) Reynold Lee-Lo

 Hell - what a problem
I have the following:-
Foxsport
PR   -    Ben Franks, Tendai Mtawarire - Reserve Frans Malherbe
HO  -    Deon Fourie - Reserve Adriaan Strauss
LO   -    Sam Whitelock, De Kock Steenkamp - Reserve Willem Steenkamp
LF    -    Ardie Savea, Lappies Labuschagne, Luke Braid - Reserve Warren Whiteley
SH   -    Cobus Reinach - Reserve Faf du Klerk
FH   -     Kurtley Beale  - Reserve Marnitz Boshoff
CE   -     Ryan Crotty, Damian de Allende - Reserve Pat McCabe
OB  -     Charles Piutau, Ben Smith, Israel Folau - Reserve Alofa Alofa
My locks are the poorest of the poor - but is due to the non-availability of Etzebeth and Du Toit.  
The Sharks are under-represented this time around - but mainly due to injuries and my hesitation waltz on Lambie.

Superbru
PR   -    Ben Franks,  James Slipper - Reserve Frans Malherbe
HO  -    Deon Fourie - Reserve Adriaan Staruss
LO   -    Sam Whitelock, Pieter-Steph du Toit - Reserve Flip van der Merwe
LF    -    Marcell Coetzee, Lappies Labuschagne, Steven Luatua - Reserve Scott Higginbotham
SH   -    A Smith - Reserve Luke Burgess
FH   -     Patrick Lambie - Reserve  Aaron Cruden
CE   -     Ryan Crotty, Damian de Allende
OB  -     Charles Piutau, Willie le Roux, Israel Folau - Reserve Jesse Mogge
Could not replace Du Toit after late injury - Last week it was Lambie - this week it is Du Toit - what a show
Test Rugby
Super 15 
 FR  -  Bismarck du Plessis, Adriaan Strauss
 LO  -  Kane Douglas, Lood de Jager
 LF   -  Matt Todd, Marcell Coetzee
 FH  -  Patrick Lambie, Marnitz Boshoff

strong looking team there boys, u should all do well this week with ur team of spartans,

i hope others name their teams here too, and unlike personal information online everywhere, i promise that info wont be sent to anyone, except uchiha clan incorporate for fanatsy purposes, LMAO,

@mikey,
our 6nats teams are very similar bar two players, great minds think alike, lolz,
ive been thinking of bringing in ken owens though, i still have 5 transfers left, but still a bit of time before im forced to make up my mind.

there is something about ur spXV selections on foxsport and superbru i found very very interesting.
u have ben franks starting in both teams??? o_O

i know how u feel about the NZ forwards, especially the tight 5, i only hope that others dont mistaken this puzzling selection of urs as some kind of false bravado.

i know u used ur wildcard this week, so u have plenty of time to swap out ben franks, LMFAO,

just pulling ur leg brother mike, ben franks is a good work horse and a good selection.
my ideal props would be ben afeaki and coonie, but coonie is inured and chiefs chop and change their two big bens far too much,

 SasueOn second thoughts - New Zealand props generally are not worth it - but was forced into using Franks as a result of  -
*   Coenie being injured,*   Malherbe not being in the starting line-up; and*   the Bulls having a bye.
He would be gone as soon as normality returns to the set-up. 
The lock situation is also been influenced by the absence of better locks on the injury list.   Really desperate measures sometimes needed.  In his earlier games Jaws was his useless self and last week Whitelock was shown up by a rookie - so I am still reconsidering.
Hav e decided to change my mind a wee bit - especially because of the Chiefies poor tight 5 and am going with De Kock Steenkamp at lock - instead of Pyle and brought in Deon Fourie instead of Bismarck.  That gives me some scope for future change.

@luckyluyke,

im thinking the same thing about folau, brumbies are a much tougher team but on par with the reds, so folau might have another blinder.

deon fourie is going to score big, would be surprised if its anything lower than 35, but i will prob stick with folau, i love the attacking mindset of the waratahs who are my favourite team to watch in the spXv at the moment. their brand of rugby is the kiwi brand and at the moment, a much better product, soemthing that the kiwi peeps need to rememdy.

@mikey,
i see, so ben franks the All Blacks 5th best prop is better then the Boks/sharks props beast and jannie, the lions cheetahs and even highly rated kitshoff??? o_O

what an eye opening statement from one of sarugby.coms respected bloggers,
lolz,

i would like to applaud u on ur courage with such a telling confession, it cant have been easy for a proud saffa rugby fan like urself.
NZ front r ow props everywhere applaud u,

 Sasue
Have fun - will see what happens next week.  Ben Franks is to weak a prop in scrumming - he made his points outside of the scrum.  From a scrumming perspective really not up to standard.   Made some tackles outside of the scrum - but otherwise useless.

Yeah, but as some SA bloggers say repeatedly, "kiwi teams play net ball & don't have a tight five..." or words to that effect. So what's with so many people picking Ben Franks, lol

LF: sergio parisse, louis piccomoles

HV: jonthan sexton, owen farrel

CT: brian odriscoll, gordon darcy

brought in ken ownes cos he was cheap and it freed up enough cash form me to bring in the legendary brian odriscoll as it will be the last time anyone can pick one of the best centers to ever play the game.

 He guys turn your lights on......
Not one of you pundits selected the #1 hooker in world rugby now.
Fox selected Fourie (Stormers) as the hooker...goodness me what year are they watching (re-runs of yesteryear) ?
The best SA scrum-half is plying his trade in France. Ex-Shark's scrum-half Rory K.
I still rate the Welsh scum-half as the best presently playing.
On the issue of SA props....Kisthoff is getting buckled and out scrummed in all the Stormers games I have watched. I never have rated him highly.
Their is a guy who plays for the Bulls - Marcel V D Merwe who is a powerhouse in the front row. Expect big things from him.
