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.

Runners Up: 6m

Re: Homepage
Results, scorers and league table updated. Going to be really tight, as although there a reasonable gap points wise from top to bottom, everyone is within striking distance of the next couple of teams above them, so a good couple of wins in the rounds after the European games and you are right back in it.

4N players back will be massive, its crippled sides this year. Injuries of real players will be key during AI.

Bonus points could be massive this season, especially TBP's, as not man teams are picking them up at the moment, so the ones that do will be in a really good position. Tigers are 6 from 6, but no TBP's means they are not running away from everyone else.
Am seriously looking forward to getting Habana and Ioane back on the wings!!!

Just watching the Irish vs. Saints game.
Tiny getting seriously humped in the scrum and looks absolutely knackered after about 20 minutes. Never seen him this bad before.

Scrum not such an issue as anyone can get humped as a one off, more concern is he looks really unfit.

Hooper has been a sensation. Deans or whoever is in charge is going to need to try and find a way of integrating he and Pocock into an Oz backrow.

Burns yes to full squad. Saull saxons. Kruis no chance yet. Good prospect though. Looks tidy.
Pete tiny been like that most of last season and all of this season.harden got smashed yesterday.apparently wood went ok but level of smashing harden got distorted.
Every prop has a player they struggle against and harden has struggled with James before. Wood always gives Castro problems yet struggles vs Murray

Just watching end of Gloucester game. Davey Wilson is back to his Falcons best, in great form. He's smashing the scrums and carrying really well, Gold has worked wonders with the lad.

If you boys don't mind me commenting on here I will. But I agree with you Pooly. Like I said to CJB, Wilson is probably second best EQ TH at the moment.

He's really in some great form and better at covering LH than PDJ is (def a TH), would be ideal bench option for England if he stays fit

Definitely. Watching that game you could see that Bath have brought in a system which makes the most out of James and Wilson in the loose. It will help him to no end.
It was a strange game though, had the Glos disallowed try counted I wouldn't have minded them winning. But I thought that Bath perhaps should've won that one.

Ouch watching glos game. Harden getting mullered. To be fair huia Edmonds does not scrum. Wilson looked good but much easier when James dismantling harden.
Wonder why harden struggles so much vs James yet has the better or even of ayerza,tiny and humaan
Bizarre.
