Good play Youngs, C'mon!!!!

Quick thinking from Youngs. Thats why hes in the side!
Ashton is coming back to his best support running has been great the last few games

Great line, we're looking great when the backs get involved.

Anyone fancy Hougaard? To trade/buy, I'm not interested about whether you want to date him

Anybody got a half decent tight head to swap with another position??

Sorry I need mine

Need a big second row now too

May have Deacon available

I need a good LH

Looks like they're expecting a battle up front with that bench!! Poor Harris though, from kicking the winning goal to dropped!!

Pretty busy mate, barely on here at the moment. If someone could knock up a team sheet, that would be great. Fixtures and squads all on the page, so just needs some copy and paste

Does Jeremy Guscott watch any rugby at all? What a t wat

Hi Jerry, with the summer tours coming into their final weekend of games, what is your current World XV based on the performances you have seen? Alastair Telford, UK
Hi Alastair, it would be something like this: Israel Dagg; Julian Savea, Pat McCabe, Sonny Bill Williams, Bryan Habana; Berrick Barnes, Will Genia; Tendai 'Beast' Mtawarira, Bismarck du Plessis, Dan Cole, Eben Etzebeth, Juandre Kruger, Scott Higginbotham, David Pocock, Kieran Read.

Beast over Healy and Jenkins?
Has Cole been that good over Franks?
Etzebeth hasn't been outstanding, neither has Barnes
McCabe at 13?

McCabe plays 12, not 13. Guscott is a tool, I don't think he watches much rugby tbh

That was my point exactly, complete lack of knowledge. Just hears a name and that they played well and chucks them in I reckon

Sevens Update.

Quins - still one short on your bench, can't have Southwell twice
Worcestor - need to provide a bench
Wasps - can someone please do a team for Nick?

Also did Jerry watch the Beast against England? Not exactly SA's best player

Right then lads, good work on the 7s.

Just waiting for Worcester's subs bench and we are away!

Don't forget, prediction scoring is football style, 2-1 = 2 tries to 1.

Charteris, Davies, Retallic, Ryan, Toner or Maestri? Or someone older and even lumpier?

Bakkies? Availible all season and still a monster

Not sure how many years he has left. He would be ideal, and if I go for expensive top of the range experienced SRs, I'll look at him, maybe Thorn (now in Japan though), Hines and Pape. Or I can trade for the likes of Deacon but I hate giving up my players

Maestri has impressed me, as has Ryan. Still think POC is the best lock available by quite some way though. Great all rounder, great leader

With Bathite on locks.

Botha was poor for Toulon, thought Shaw had a much better season as did Maestri & Pape.

Retilick looks a talent and I really like Ryan, Romano etc.

POC is a real class act though

Thats doesn't happen very often! haha!

I'm a big Bekker fan as well, but the dude always gets injured 1 week before a SA squad!

Yea he's quality, love Thorn too and probably none better at 4 but can't have more than 2 seasons left max

Can't be many better athletes in modern pro sport than Thorn. In a brutal position, in a brutal game at 36. Played league, union, NH, SH etc. Hell of a CV and much fewer injuries than most.

Thanks guys

Anyone interested in Mordt, Hougaard or Maddock? If not I'll release at least 2 of them soon. They aren't bad players, just have enough options in those areas that they are unlikely to play much.

Or I can loan them (I realise this is unlikely)

Driver
Nick
Fluxy

Get your scores in lads

Will do today mate

Corbs out, Marler starting. PDJ on the bench.

Good that Marler is getting more exposure, especially as Jannie Du Plessis isn't the best tighthead out there. But I think Corbs' sub appearance last week was impressive and showed why he is probably still the best option despite Marler's top club form.

Under the cosh at work mate won't be able too

Cruden/SBW ripping Ireland up here....

And McCaw is back, Cane is class, SBW and Cruden definitely go up the rankings

McCaw was majestic, even from 8 he was everywhere

So gentlemen, have I missed much?

New Zealand destroying Ireland.....Wales getting beat again in the SH

Same old same old then.

I've missed a week of tranfer rejection; who wants to try and do a deal?

Care Johnson tuilagi waldrom Goode all impressing for me. So much of the play and little scoreboard pressure. Come on lads. Faz still kicks too much

Think we need to send Faz back to and get to adapt his variety and game. I know the kicking tactic will work for Sarries, but with Ashton, Goode and Barritt outside him next year he needs to knuckle down and learn to vary his play and patterns with those boys. Flood is the incumbent without a doubt. it's a shame Goode was never stuck with at ten, has all the attributes to make it there. A shot in the dark but a possible lineup of Flood, Goode and Tuilagi could have some great potential.

Farrell frustrates me so much. Clearly a decent player and plenty of potential but he kicks far too much. I don't think we put together more than 3 phases until the last part of the game as it was kicked away.

Manu is the absolute boy. He absolutely loves it.
