Guys,

Had a bad week last week so apologies for no match thread.
To finish the cup up in time for the start of the season I'm going to look to play 2 matches this week. Putting a thread up for Round 6 in next 20 minutes.

Can we get teamsheets in by Wednesday, Predictions Thursday, Results Friday Morning.

Semi Final team sheet up Friday lunch time. Team sheets by Sunday and predictions open till Tuesday morning to bring us back to normal.

Sounds good Johnny, just go with what we can get.

I'm on phone most of week so I'll just bang same side in

Team sheets in by Wednesday please:

Just so you know I may struggle to do all of that due to getting things tied off at work ready to go away!!

I can copy and paste your last teamsheet if you want mate

Super XV of the year...

http://planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3824_7971415,00.html

Interesting that so many haven't been snapped up in this game. Are we cack at picking talent or is Planet Rugby cack at picking a team?

Well Greyling is a LH not a TH........

Yep, I was being a bit facetious! There are always some questionable ones in there, but still, compared to a Jerry Guscott XV, it is spot on!

Yea it's a pretty spot on team to be fair

I'd say it's because we have limited International picks and International experience and quality generally trumps form at Club level, even S15 and even excellent form.

It could be the lack of sleep from the past few days, but could it be coincidence that Hape probably has been Englands best 12 since Greenwood? Discuss...

Olly Barkley?

Hape....Barkley.....aaagghhhh!!!!

Aus:

Kurtley Beale, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Rob Horne, Anthony Faingaa, Digby Ioane, Berrick Barnes, Will Genia, Scott Higginbotham, David Pocock (capt), Dave Dennis, Nathan Sharpe, Sitaleki Timani, Sekope Kepu, Tatafu Polota Nau, Benn Robinson.

Replacements: Stephen Moore, James Slipper, Rob Simmons, Radike Samo, Michael Hooper, Nick Phipps, Drew Mitchell.

I was watching a few videos on YouTube and he has a highlight one that goes on for eleven minutes. He really had something. Shame Manu wasn't around a little earlier or were experimented other than the RWC game against Georgia. Could've been good.

Pooly - do the 4N selections effect selections for the Summer cup?

No Pull mate you have your full squad available to you for the summer cup games as they are only a bit of fun to keep us ticking over

Allen should have been our 12 for a long time now. He's been so solid and consistent, just terribly man managed. In my book he's capable of competing with the likes of D'Arcy, Faingaa, McCabe, De Luca, Mermoz and with more experience, who knows? He'll never be at the level of SBW or Steyn, but a well rounded player and still very young

Allen will never be a good Int player imo, he lacks too many attributes.

Never had a proper chance. Many said Robshaw wouldn't make it as an international

Robshaw was always going to make, he is Prem player of season twice. Allen is a good prem player but I don't see anything in him to suggest he'll make it at Int.

Not even the fact that he has a proven track record with Manu, seemingly nailed on England 13 who has been struggling in combinations with pretty much every other centre we've tried?

Sorry not been on for a while lads. Been very busy. Will be able to be on here more come start of season proper. Just very busy at the moment

Pooly: could you forward that p.m to sirj for me please, sirj can you pester him for it!!

Argentina team:

Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, Gonzalo Camacho, Marcelo Bosch, Santiago Fernandez, Horacio Agulla, Juan Martin Hernandez, Nicolas Vergallo, Rodrigo Roncero, Eusebio Guinazu, Juan Figallo, Manuel Carizza, Patricio Albacete, Julio Farias Cabello, Alvaro Galindo, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe

Replacements: Bruno Postiglioni, Marcos Ayerza, Juan Pablo Orlandi, Tomas Leonardi, Leonardo Senatore, Martin Landajo, Martin Rodriguez Gurruchage

Pretty much good to go aren't we?

Gloucester (Take from his holiday page)
Wasps (Is someone caretaking/same team as last week)
Sale (Ollie struggling for time - same team as last week)
Worcester (Struggling for time - same team as last week)

Updating the match page now...
Haven't got a PM yet Pooly/Prop...

I'll sent it across this afternoon/evening fella!!

South Africa: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Bryan Habana, 13 Jean de Villiers (captain), 12 Frans Steyn, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Keegan Daniel, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.

Replacements: 16 Adriaan Strauss, 17 Pat Cilliers, 18 Flip van der Merwe, 19 Jacques Potgieter, 20 Ruan Pienaar, 21 Pat Lambie, 22 JJ Engelbrecht.

How does Willie La Roux not get a look in!!!

Meyer doesn't like flair players

Odds on Bekker getting injured before kick off? Will almost certainly break down during the game

Pat Cilliers? Not sure I've heard of him

He's Lions prop I think, big lad decent in scrum.

Tough on Kruger (injured?)

Yeah Cilliers has been pretty good all season, shame he's a tighthead as I want a loosehead!!
