Bottom

Been solid when I see him play and a big unit, just what we need in the second row

A Welsh lock is hardly an inspiring signing, what next......an Aussie prop!

Always expect positivity from you! B.davies, charteris and Evans would all be great additions to any league team. Just because AWJ is welsh doesn't mean all welsh locks are rubbish!

What next a Scottish flyhalf...

Nothing great about Evans!

Davies is a good lump & Charteris is canny if not overated. Slim pickings after that.

Lou Reed, is meant to be quite good?

AWJ is garbage! He's so over rated!

He's lineout work is shotty and doesn't offer that much round the park , he's not fit to wipe Simon Shaw's arse.

Top 5 enforcer Locks

1.Bakkies Botha
2.Brad Thorn
3.Patrico Albacete
4.Richie Grey
5.Courtney Lawes


Top 5 set piece locks

1.Paul O'Connell
2.James Horwill
3.Sam Whitelock

Huge gap

4.Steve Borthwick - best lineout operator in English rugby
5.Alistair Kellock - ran scots lineout for years and it's been there main strength.

"4.Steve Borthwick - best lineout operator in English rugby"

Aaaggghhhh!!!!!

I know the top two are on the decline, but didn't think they'd be rated so highly still. Surprised you hadn't mentioned Pape too, to be honest

Borthwick and kellock? Loads of names I'd have in that gap. Bekker nallet pape

Do we still get an U21 foreign transfer, or has that been a non starter??

Had an easy evening in work yesterday and was doing some "research" for my next match as I've noticed Sarries havent rotated an awful lot so far and decided to compile a list of the players who have started every game this season in the league.... Did it a bit rough but is 99% accurate!... Does fatigue play any importance to anyone in predictions because this list is quite big!

Should I name and shame? Every team in the league is guilty but some a lot more so!...

I wouldn't been adverse to you naming and shaming, I'm recording my players appearances and rested some big names last fixture. It was commented that it might have cost me the win a few times, but it's part of the long league, need rotate and I am prioritising home games. Also notice people playing 6 Nations players last week as well, which should have an adverse effect in my eyes

Go on SJE, name and shame fella.

The best rotated teams in the league are Northampton Saints and Newcastle Falcons with just 2 players playing the maximum. The worst offenders are Exeter Chiefs and Sale Sharks with 9 players.

Should be noted that Chiefs, Worcester and Quins have missed a teamsheet this season but I personally dont see that as a reason to let fatigue go.

The key point in all this for me is that the Saracens pack must be absolutely knackered especially after 2 hard defeats in a row and they have the unbeaten Saints next

With 6 nations players I hadnt much issue with irish/French lads playing last week Batthite as they had had a week off and you can generally get more game time out of a back but forwards were marked down by me

I suspected that I might be up there with the worst offenders, but in my defence I didn't bother looking at who the other managers who had the Chiefs had played.

In relaiton to fatigue, are we working on the presumption that players would have played a full season leading up to where we started the game? Difficult to judge fatigue in relaiton to a shortened season.

I am only taken the half a season into account. Not considering what came before this game kicked off so everyone started on a fresh plate.

Have to say there must be some very tired packs going around the league at the moment though! 5 starts from 5 is alot of game time for the pack and I will definately be taking that into consideration on this weeks predictions

Happy with the England team. 10. Farrell 12. Barritt 13. Tuilagi is defensively solid in midfield and gives us physicality going forward. If we have the right game plan I think we could beat the Welsh here.

Game on!

Parling in as well. looks good. Farrell to kick for the corners and leave Parling go at the lineout in their territory where hopefully Barritt and Tuilagi can do some damage

Re rotation / fatigue:

Franks and Attwood are the only players who have started all the games for me, but I have made a big point about using my bench and specifically said that Shaw and Wilson/Perenise have come on after 50 mins to ensure they all stay fresh and to give impetus off the bench.

Quite proud with that

And I'm very optimistic over the England team too. The midfield will be a tasty battle, some big hits on Saturday!

What are the game times this weekend?

Check the page!

Really happy with England team, unsure of Farrell at 10 but rather him there than 12 or 13. Best midfield available to us I reckon

Don't have bbc or sky sports at work, what page?

Due to injured players been named in lineups over the last few weeks:


Week 5

Sale - Mark Cueto (returns week 11)
Wasps - Karl Dickson (returns week 10)
Quins - Tom Lindsay (returns week 11)
Worcester - Ben Morgan (returns week 11)

Week 4

Gloucester - Freddie Burns (returns week 10)

Week 3

Gloucester - Freddie Burns (returns week 10)

Week 2

Gloucester - Freddie Burns (returns week 10)

The following fines will be handed out(sorry Prop esp):

Gloucester fined 3m
Sale fined 1m
Worcester fined 1m
Harlequins fined 1m
Wasps fined 1m

Id ask opposition managers to do a quick check on opposing teams when named to prevent this happening again.

Ok i think i somehow need to find more time for this game.....really not doing well!!

I had my head in my hands looking through each week and saying Burns involved Prop. He was on bench most weeks which makes it even worse! Sorry dude

Still early in the season prop, got plenty of talent to be in the top four. Go on laddy

I'll be incorporating points deduction for playing injured players in the future so you all got off lightly!

Ah cool!! I'll remember that!!

If the Bulls and Sharks stopped practising kicking balls, and tried passing every so often. They'd might be able to catch a ball and score some points!

Argh!

I've got 20 mins before I have to leave for rugby. Shall I do tactics on here, update my Fantasy Football side or update my Fantasy 6N side?!

Pfft, no committment

Just watching Blues Crusaders, Ranger at 13 looks good, as does Kaino at 8. Can't believe Piri missed that drop kick at the end!

I saw some highlights, Freaun looked very good. As did Bleyendaal, looks like he has some potential.

Yeah Fruean did, maybe he breakthrough year for the ABs? Not that he is even fit to lace up Conrad Smith's boots!

Pooly - is the foreign U21 open yet?

Wow, Sexton's pass for the second Bowe try, incredible
