Waiting List
1. pullthestrings
2. Bathite

Welcome to Season 5 of the Aviva Premiership fantasty rugby game. Below are the rules of the game which must be adhered to. If there are any situations that arise in the course of the game which are not covered by the rules, a final decision will be made by the RFU (Ozzy3213) as to how the situation will be resolved.


Senior Squads wrote:
The maximum squad size is 40 senior players. If a team has more than 40 players in their squad then they will be fined £1 million per player over the permitted amounts per day for the first seven days. If after 7 consecutive days a team still has more than the permitted number of players then the team will be fined £2 million per player per day, and fined 1 league point per player per day for the next seven days. If after this time a team still has more than the permitted number of players in their squad, the RFU (me) will remove players at it’s discretion to bring them back under the permitted numbers. There will be no right of appeal to players being removed.

Be aware that all tier one international matches which are played during the season will count in the game, and players selected in the matchday 22's for those matches will not be eligible to play for their clubs on that weekend, therefore you must give due consideration to the make up of your squad.


Academy Rules wrote:
Each team will be allowed to have a listed senior academy squad of 20 players. Players who are in the senior academy must be under 22 years of age as of 1st September 2012 (therefore must have been born on or after 1st Septmber 1990). Players who are under the age of 20 (so born after 1st September 1992) AND are in the academy of the club that you are managing in real life, DO NOT need to be listed as senior academy players as part of your 20, but are available to you in this game and cannot be poached by other clubs without paying you a fee.

Should a player not listed in your 20 senior academy players, but part of the clubs academy in real life move clubs in real life, then you will have first option of promoting him to your listed senior academy. If you choose not to take this option he will become property of the club that he moves to in real life in this game.

Transfers wrote:

  • Domestic (other AP Teams)
    Each team has a budget to use in the purchase of players. Domestic transfers between AP clubs, regardless of nationality of player, should be negotiated between the respective managers, and then confirmed on the Domestic Transfer Confirmation Page.

  • Domestic (Championship and below)
    Each team may during the season purchase no more than 3 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. These players must be bid for on the Championship/National League bidding page, and each bid will be considered by me on it's own merits before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.

  • Foreign
    To make a foreign transfer (i.e from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by me against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.

    Foreign transfers will unlimited during the off season and 2 during the season. The exact dates of the two transfer windows during the season is to be confirmed.


Player Releases wrote:
Managers may choose to release players from their clubs, for which they will be offered compensation

Compensation will be paid as follows

£2 million – current international (must have played international rugby in the previous 12 months)
£1.5 million – former international
£1m – top flight experience
£0.5m – other

If a released player plays in real life for a team outside of this game he will be deemed to have returned to that team. If not then he will be deemed to have signed for a Championship side. If another manager wants to pick a released player up, they will have to bid for him in the same way as for a foreign or Championship/National League player.

Retirements wrote:
There will be no compensation for retiring players. Should a player who retires decide to come out of retirement and play again, then he will automatically go back to the club who he was playing for in the game when he retired.

Fixtures wrote:
There will be 22 Aviva Premiership games per season, plus the play offs. There will also be Heineken Cup, Amlin Challenge Cup and Anglo Welsh Cup matches. These games will take place once a week. A thread will be put up for managers to name their teams on Thursdays, then on Fridays, managers will post the scores that they think will happen from these games (apart from games in which they are involved). An average of all predictions will be taken, and then 0.5 points added to each teams score for each prediction that had them as the winner, and that will then be the final score.

Teams wrote:
When naming your team, not only should you put the starting XV and replacements, but also tactics that your team will employ. Results will be affected by the tactics described.

In addition, each team must have the following:-

At least 10 England qualified players in your matchday 23, and at least 5 of those must be in your starting XV.

At least 2 props and 1 hooker on the bench.

All players must be eligible (not injured or banned).

Failure to comply with these rules will result in forfeiting the match and a 1 league point deduction.

If you fail to submit a team for a match, then the other team will be automatically awarded a 30-0 bonus point win. If both teams fail to submit a team, then it will be scored as a 0-0 draw.

Injuries and Suspensions wrote:
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated by me.

Players banned in real life will be ineligible for selection in this game for the duration of the ban.

Inclusion of injured/banned players will result in them being replaced by players on the bench, and the bench not having eight players, which may result in punishment if it concerns the front-row.

Punishment for fielding an ineligible player will be loss of one match point for a first offence, two for a second offence and so on.

Financial Rewards wrote:
There will be no rewards for the result of an individual match, instead the managers will receive cash for predicting.

£1.5m for descriptive predictions
£0.25m for scores on the doors predictions
If you fail to predict without first advising me that you are unable to do so that week, you will be fined £1m for a first offence, £2m for a second offence, £3m for a third offence etc.

AP finishing positions.

Champions: 8m
Runners Up: 6m
Playoff Semi Finalist Losers: 5m
5th: 4m
6th: 3.5m
7th: 3m
8th: 2.5m
9th: 2m
10th: 1.5m
11th: 1m
12th: 0.5m

Heineken Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £2 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £3 million each
Runners Up - £4 million
Champions - £5 million

Amlin Challenge Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £1 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million
Champions - £4 million

Anglo-Welsh Cup

Losing Semi Finalisst - £1 million each
Runners Up - £2 million
Champions - £3 million


If your budgets falls below minus £10 million for any reason, the administrators (ozzy3213) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

Dollman has looked tidy at 12 , Muldowney always impresses me when he plays.

Basics side exeter , Barnes summed them up when he said they get 9/10 on the basics.

New scrums are strange. Still find yourself waiting for the 4 commands and get caught out.

I have only played 20 mins with them and they are tricky to get used to. Easy to forget them when playing as fatigued.

From watching the games there are less scrum penalties which is good. Top level might be different though.

With Croft likely to be out we seriously need a firing Wood. I hope Haskell gets in the mix too.

Hows Palmer & Haskell playing Chris?

Hartley is having a blinder today - looks really up for it this season, great try!

Palmer needs a few more games to get into the swing of it, Haskell been doing quite well, doing a lot of work that goes unnoticed, but can drift out of a game, not sure if he's got the rugby brain to sort that out though.

Morgan is being used a lot in the lineout which is weird. Apparently he was good yesterday.

He is such a lump. With kalafoni Morgan wood and qera we have some carrying options. We miss Hamilton whenever he does not play and have thin numbers

Morgan is 2nd choice for England until he lasts 80 minutes every week. Waldrom played pretty well against the Boks in the summer tests.

I really wanted Narraway to kick on but he seemed to hit his peek , such a clever player.

He played really well in NZ tour before with Haskell and Rees on the flanks.

Was that the tour that Rees outclassed McCaw at every breakdown - what a player he was.

Think Morgan got a bit of a rude awaken playing at altitude and then the physicality of the Boks, he was very good in the 6Nations.

Been down at my sisters. Bought my mum a photoshoot with all her grandchildren for her 60th and it was booked for Saturday. Had to do it down in Chippenham as it's murder trying to get my sister up near mine or my mums, so ended up staying down there and she has no Sky tv.

Just watching the Aus v SA game now.

Oz were a lot better than they were against NZ.

AAC had the best game I've seen him have for a long long time in a Gold shirt. Hooper brilliant as was Shipperley an Alexander.

Habana good for SA.

AAC best position Steve, runs good lines and works well as decoy as always straight.

Decent wing but more for defence I think. Always thought he was best at 13, 15 then wing a fair bit behind.

Alexander so good in loose, i really like him at LH as less focus on his scrummaging.

Hit the line well and went looking for Work.

Aus bossed the pack battle , Higgenbottom try was a kick in the balls for the boks.

AAC double tackled someone.

Alexander a very strong TH though. Probably the best prop in the world when it comes to playing both Loose and Tight.

Dickson was canny, if Welsh game they all had free for all. Was so easy.

Alexander much better at LH for me, plays most of his club games there. Not many better on both sides tho

Always liked Alexander, not a massive scrummager though which always hindered him on here.

1. Alexander
3. Jones

Would work a treat though, perfect balance of scrum anchor in Jones and loose work in Alexander.

Mako has won motm in both games so far, best side step for a prop I've seen too!

Billy has lost a shed load of weight, think that is two games in a row he's lasted the full 80mins - the first half against Quins he was immense, carried the ball and made yards every time he touched it and just 20 years old!
