Round 5 byes   -   Chiefs , Hurricanes

Round 6 byes   -   Brumbies,  Jaguares, Kings, Sunwolves

Round 7 byes  -    Cheetahs, Crusaders, L

This week will be interesting - with the first match between the Bulls and Blues are played.   Despite their losses I rate the Blues and I cannot see how the Bulls can pull of f that one.  
There are multiple problems coming up with the byes in Rounds 5,6 and 7.   I have a number of Chiefs and Hurricanes players - but I can put them on the bench in round 5.   I have only one Jaguares player in Round 6 - but with the Lions off in Round 7 I may have some problms to take care of.  

 To the top with this one.

I've got a few Canes in my side. Duh Luke's Canes lol. But just bench Peranara and Barrett. Got Pulu of the blues and Zellinga on the bench who should start for the Cheetahs. I have to take out Julian and ASO, and Retalluck. Prob going to bench Ardie. So I don't have to use a trade to bring him back in. Lots of my big fantasy scorers gone for a week. So be interesting. Villjoen of the Stormers should play so I'll bench S Stevenson. Have to stick with Ismael of the bulls if he plays hopefully. My likely team. Fantasy hasent been updated too taking a long time. That lions centre what's his name van rensberg? Best centre in super rugby. Props: Kepu, Slipper Hooker: Jarsfield Locks: S Whitelock, De Jäger Backrow; Schatz, Mohojoe, Whitely SH: Pulu FH: Zellinga IB: Ioane, Van Rensberg OB: Ismael, Skoser/Tucelet, Viljoen Scrapping a team their. But should be full starters.

CleverMike, the list above as the Crusaders playing the Blues when actually they are playing the Force (you have it correctly under the heading). 
3ku1, yes many Kiwis will have selected a fair few Canes & Chiefs and I am one of them so this week will be difficult with 3 trades.

 Sorry - the Force issue was corrected. 

 Waratahs and Crusaders Updated

 Force and Rebels  Updated

 Fyi for everyone who has Slipper in your fantasy team. He's been ruled out for the season. Achillies injury apparently. I haven't got a full starting side. Missing one player. I had to go with one lock so I could get a full backrow. I'm hoping a lot of these players are starting or I'm pretty screwed. Props: Kepu, Niche Hooker: Jarsfield Locks: De Jäger Backrow: Pablo Matera, Mohoje, W Whitely SH: Pulu FH: Zellinga IB: R Ioane, R V Jansberg OB: Ismael, Fukouka, Viljoen

 Cheers guys ,pity Rooie has pulled the pin over rubbish from some other site .Its like immigrants taking their feuds with them .

 Hopefully Rooineck is still participating in Fantasy Rugby, he's leading so I can't imagine he will quit that.

What happened to Rooneck?

 He may have at least temporarily left the forum as he got a bit upset.

Ahh yeah Beeno can be a dick. He's upset me a few times :D

It wasn't Beeno, on this rare occasion he was innocent. Anyway, Rooineck will be back I'm sure. This board is hard to beat as it has an perfect mix of nutcases & a few who knowledgeable blokes.

 Thanks Luke
All teams you provided updated. Why is Sopoaga not playing at all?

 He's still out injured. 

 Luk e
Slipper is out with what could be a longish injury  absence - so have a look at your props again. 

Yeah I read that. He's gone for the season. Do you know if Ox Niche is playing this we?

 Not yet - will update the team asap.
Stormers updated - I cannot understand how the pedestrian Dan Kriel is selected ahead of Dan du Plessis (who is on the bench) .  A few of the starters are not even on the bench for the Stormers on a regular basis. 

@mikey,

it is the sunwolves, teams are often fielding weaker lineups when playing against weaker teams.

 
I gain the impression they also do so when playing teams they think they cannot beat away from home.  

Is Kolsi a shout? I have to take Ardie out.

 Bulls: 15. Warrick Gelant, 14. Travis Ismaiel, 13. Jesse Kriel, 12. Jan Serfontein, 11. Jamba Ulengo, 10. Handre Pollard, 9. Piet van Zyl, 8. Hanro Liebenberg, 7. Nick de Jager, 6. Ruan Steenkamp, 5. Lood de Jager, 4. Jason Jenkins, 3. Trevor Nyakane, 2. Adriaan Strauss (c), 1. Liza Giqobucko 16. Jaco Visagie , 17. Pierre Schoeman, 18. RG Snyman, 19. Jannes Kirsten ,20. Rudy Paige,21. Tian Schoeman 22. Burger Odendaal, 23. John-Roy Jenkinson

 I have a problem at BR myself and am considering Kolisi as an alternative. 

Matera from the Jaguarers is an option. Averaging over 49. Playing Reds at home.

 15  Dillyn Leyds, 14  Bjorn Basson,  13  EW Viljoen,  12  Dan Kriel,  11  Saebelo Senatla,  10  Robert du Preez,  9   Dewaldt Duvenage,
Some serious pace in this backline. Will their defence be adequate
MIKE COULD YOU PLEASE PUT THE MIGHTY STORMERS AT THE TOP OF THE THREAD WHERE THEY NATURALLY BELONG!

AS FOR MY PAL ROOINEK HE WILL BE BACK AS HE IS TAKING A WELL DESERVED BREAK AND REGAINING HIS SANITY. ALWAYS REMEMBER WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF UNHINGED KBBS HERE AND TOADS LIKE DENSE DENISE!!!!

 Beeno the Stormers again is on Saturday Night EST . That is why the Stormers or the Stompies are listed where they belong. 

 This is a mess - Instead of putting the team on their website - the Cheetahs  put the following:-

Returning from injuries and new to the starting line-up: Ox Nche, Justin Basson, Raymond Rhule, Nico Lee, Francois Venter and Sergeal Petersen.

Johan Coetzee, Paul Schoeman, Shaun Venter and Fred Zeilinga moves from the bench to the starting line-up.

Torsten van Jaarsveld will be starting on hooker while Elandré Huggett moves to the bench.

Henco Venter moves from flank to no.8, while Niell Jordaan moves to the bench.

Other players moving to the bench: Tom Botha, Tian Meyer, Niel Marais and Ryno Benjamin/Clinton Swart

I could not find the team of last week to reconcile the situation.  Can someone please help. 
I GOT IT RIGHT AND POSTED THE TEAM
