Injuries:(Available week in brackets)

AP R12 - Will Carrick-Smith
AP R13 - Scott Williams
HC/AC R5 - Toby Flood
HC/AC R6 - James O'Connor
AWC R3 - Rory Best

Maestri only other one that interests me

Maestri + AAC 4 Romano + Romano

I'm kind enough to sell him twice

Rougerie

I play Rougerie 13

Who could leave with Hogg in the deal?

Think Hogg is a different class. Any of your wingers?

Still don't fancy it mate

All of those with the exception of Tolofua and Kolisi are first choice players for me, so whilst I am not overly keen on selling any, if it's a deal that will better me in the long run I am prepared to listen, but the starting point is going to have to be with players who would start for me as well.

McCaw, Cruden, JOC, Youngs, Faletau

Sorry mate neither are for sale unless its a silly offer pretty happy with my 2nd row at the moment

The only player i can see you parting with for him is Brussouw and he keeps getting picked on for poor form although he is playing pretty well.

Whilst i'm here i'm interested in Kelly Brown. Also would you consider loaning SBW out now he is in Japan?

Brown + ???

for

JVN + ???

Also would you loan either Burguss , Cowen or Doussain out?

Might not be on much until Thursday, but am most likely to go for pretty much the same team, give or take a few changes on the bench.

I thought you might do, which is why it is such a shame that Julien Bonnaire put in a motm performance for Clermont this weekend, getting two tries and dominating the lineout (he might be making his home debut this weekend!).

The following players have picked up injuries, they will be available to play again on the week stated.

Soane Tonga'uiha - AP R5
Paul Doran- Jones - AP R6
Alex Goode - HC R1

your injuries are bad ones. You should see mine though they are ridiculous. Grey Ferris and May

just in time to play me matt. perfect.

although for me losing mac is a blow.

Hartley's darts are the equivalent of triple 20 each throw!

Can't believe the injuries this week, was looking forward to seeing Tiny and my Tongan go head to head! Been quite lucky that Domingo has put a string of games together.

My biggest loss is Fofana though! You've been unlucky with the two English though.

I was waiting for someone to comment on that, so I have printed out the random.org page where I generated the injuries and am happy to post it to Facebook or tweet it if people want me to.

Always tough when you are running the game and have a team. Having said that, mine do hurt me just as much, as I've lost 2 EQ players who would always be in my matchday squad, and I am very light on EQ numbers, so will probably have to use players this week, who didn't even get in their clubs matchday squad in real life last week, which I am sure I will get slated for.

Pete, it's bound to happen - last year I think I had 2 times when I lost 3 EQ at once, just one of those things.

I'm just lucky this year that I also havent got about 10 players out injured in real life too - absolutely screwed a few seasons ago with that - think at one point I had half my pack out and then had Foden, Ashton and Hartley crocked in the game too!

No pete injuries are random. i was lucky last year unlucky this year. thats the way it is with injuries in real life

Getting none of your first 15 injured is pretty lucky though......

My side is going to look so different this week its untrue.

You looked pretty awesome this week, was quite surprised you lost.

People look at different things I guess, I thought your lineout was mustard

I thought the lineout was where i could have won it. Chris had a top back 3 out and is one of the strongest teams during the RC no doubt. 6 nations is a git for him with his backline.


Glad i managed to get CJ stander in otherwise my backrow would be a bit light with Fasivalu out on loan and burger and Saull struggling.

Glad i bought lapandry in. Very good operator in a very good clermont side

Yea Lapandry is a good player, bit like Croft.

Clermont have great side, Domingo has been looking good for Chris. With Ric coming through they could have French props if Mas isn't fit.

Barcella coming back well too for Biarittz, just hope he can stay fit

They also have Debaty off the bench too. Somehow elvis vermaulen is still in their squad.

He does a decent job for them, use him loads in lineout.

random.org printout.

you can check the numbers to make sure they match up if you want to Pooly, teams are alphabetical.

Haha.....you biting?

I'm not doubting your integrity but you can imagine how it looks lol

Not at all, but I knew when I got the numbers and saw that mine came out as the only one where all three were from the bench that somebody would comment on it, so it was easy enough to take a quick picture on the phone.

I like everything to be open and transparent on this game, as that way people don't start feeling as if they are hard done by.

Not willing to lose any of them 3.

Dunno mate. I'd only be looking at Best in return out of what you have, and then I lose my only EQ hook option which I don't want to do.

Who you got available then mate?

I'd be struggling to do a mental offer to be honest, so lets have a look at Scott Williams, AAC or george Lowe. What we looking at for one of those?

I can't really include Bismarck in a deal for any of them. The gulf between him and next best in the world is huge.

I can see this being a struggle as I'm not after losing key men, and all the players of mine you want are key players.

What for Scott Williams or George Lowe, neither of home are first choice for you when everyone is available.

Apparently Benjamin has picked up a quite nasty neck injury and is out for at least 4 months

Rumours that thorn may join Biarritz. Kahui only been out 4 months but apparently 2 months from fitness which is unreal as shoulders at least 9months
In read you have worlds best player currently. So so consistent

Gray significantly beefed up and everywhere in loose. It's his darts I like best. Oshea done a great job at quins.

England should have him.
Not a Lancaster fan at all.

England launched there kit at dry brook rfc a local club near my home. All my idiot mates have pics of themselves in new England kit with robshaw on Facebook. Amusing

For me robson is same as Parling 2 great players but England will never win anything with them.


Robson a 4.5 and decent lineout and very good carrier and tackler.

Parling out and out 5 great lineout zero carrying but excellent work rate.


Both lack int class. Robson great captain for Saxons or to bring through players. Palmer better than both of them. Last nights rugby club feature on him very exact.

A leader and great at unsung work with more class ball in hand and offloading

Need to be a pretty big offer pal

Ben will be a star and Rennie already is.

Lakafia + Ben

for

Brown + ????

Not seen enough of Ric to deal on him , Wilson is playing for Tynedale whilst Ben has just won S15 lol

Really don't want to lose Rennie , gets good ratings every game.

No thanks,

I didn't see it , i went to watch West Stags vs Seaton instead , health 29-12 win for Seaton. West won't even post the result on there website.

I'm not looking to get rid of any of my big players at all, but potentially guys like Wyn Jones, Cips, Tait, Craig and Webber.

Leave Pocock alone :'(

Brussow and a gain or Robshaw

Franks

I like my all english front row options and at very least make my bench easy so i can include some super stars so not for sale.

Alberts is one of the worlds best 6s and can play 8 and 4 so would need a big offer but i would sell him.

have a look and let me know

Maestri and kelly Brown?
