Hmmmmm, Need to think of some talented 10s.

Who do people rate the highests from

Francois Trinh-Duc
Dan Bigger
Rhys Priestland
Paddy Jackson
Juan Hernandez
Beauden Barrett

Any more?

Barrett is at Sarries.

Priestland pre dip in form.

Bigger probably the most out of that list although Jackson looks a real talent.

Ian Madigan looks very exciting, would fit in very well I reckon. Especially with him likely to be starting 10 for Leinster and possibly Ireland.

Centres for the Lions?

I've gone with; Roberts, BOD, JD2 and Manu

Think I'm the only one that is excited to how a midfield of BOD and Tuilagi woul work, after seeing what BOD brought out of Roberts in 2009!

Id agree there Flux, not totally sold on BOD but there's nobody else

I wouldn't be utterly shocked to see Sexton at Centre. Also Roberts looked (still one dimensional but) a bit closer to form against us

Roberts is too one dimensional, but also too obvious as well. It's easy to defend and turnovers. Like Manu, if he could develop an offloading/kicking game they'd be dangerous

Still think (not hope) that he'll be starting 12 for the Lions. I expect Gatland to pick his favourites. Scott Williams would frankly be a better option as a bolter

I think Matt Scott looks handy. Also reckon Wade or May will tour as the Bolter.

Made the mistake of reading the comments on the BBC rugby website on Guscott's questions thingy. Is that site catnip for tossers?

What did it say? I can't accept the opinion of Guscott any more.

Not Guscott himself. Let's just say that the jingoistic vitriolic insightless ignorant claptrap there makes our Wales-England threads look like a tiddlywinks forum

Need to translate there mate

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21932866 take a look at Michelangelo and eThel's conversation for some nostalgic 6N fun

Looks a right laugh CJ.

Warburton has to tour but so does Robshaw imo, two class acts

Tipuric does for me, not sure if Warburton can recapture his form through the blues

I think Tipuric has been overhyped a little personally, I do rate him highly tho

Bit of an oxymoron mate. I think he deserved the hype, he's not McCaw level. But he can be very good

No I like him but the hype is received is crazy. I thought he was just ok against us but people (the welsh) were stating he was world class.

Shrewd but smart, I think Baxter and Gustard are very clever additions for the tour to Argentina.

I will try to update the table. Should be done by tomorrow evening.

Sweet, can you create a page for next week mate?

I wouldn't mind getting a full sweep this round

You can do

Anyone up for a deal?

Welsh - I'm looking for a bit of quality. And Bath I'm looking some depth strength outwide.

Can offer 1/2 p for the right deal

So with Kurtley Beale indefinitely suspended from the Rebels, does this open the door Jesse Mogg for the 15 shirt against the Lions?

Here's the up to date table, only mover this week was Glos as they lept above Chiefs. Elsewhere the chase for the second home leg in the play-offs grew closer, and Wasps managed to close the gap at the bottom of the league.

6 points from home play off!!!!!!!!!!!!!

closing it up, and with the last few fixtures, as well as euro games its going to get a lot closer!

Just checking your sums Fluxy;
Tigers should be 66 points, Worcester 35 & Irish 26 looking at that table

Good old accountants

nearly time for my foreign to be answered

Somebody needs us!

Despite my slight mistakes, I'm not paying your tab - I think Pooly is covering it

Have we got any interest for the vacant jobs lads? Anyone in mind, get advertising, would be good to have a full compliment again.

I've pinged off PM's to some regular posters, nothing

Wouldn't even mind if it was until the end of the season, just seems a little quiet on here. And rather keep this one going seeing as I started here rather than the older version.

What about Beshocked? Where's Rowley when you need him...

Beshocked didn't like it, he's very opinionated and got annoyed when others didn't see things his way.

Bathite just whinged all the time, it must be something to do with the B's!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

But you have to build a side that everyone will rate, part of the game lol!

Beshocked I knew was a little opinionated, but was still solid on here.

Sad to see Bathite go, he was reliable and created a good side with Bath. You two just had too much of a lovers-tiff

Its a-bit like Arry would've done great on here, but didn't fancy it. Some of the lads on the other game seem to think this one is below that one in quality - in my own opinion.

Each to their own, I wouldn't have Bathite back.

That league has been running 5 or so years, it's took a while to get steady.

I had have him back in a flash if he wanted to come back. Was a solid manager, and had some good banter. Just because you two couldn't see eye to eye all of the time doesn't mean he was bad.

Yeah true, but its only become uneven because its changed managers so often. I'm not saying I'd want that here, but many mangers is better than no managers.

Yea we need a couple of managers

yh id have him back as well

i hope we keep it going im really enjoying it.

No reason to sack it off, leagues suffer with managers losing now and again.

We've got a good bunch at the minute so just 2 more and we're flying

I want to cry

?

Not watching the Gloucester Quins match, Flux?

No at work, is it bad for your boys then?

We lost by 2 points in a cracking game, one we easily could and frankly should have won. Can't see us winning the AP this year (doubt on even the top 4 possibly) unless we win every remaining match, and we really needed the win here to build confidence for Munster next week. Can see us winning nothing else this season and finishing 5th possibly
