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.

Kerr-Barlow has outplayed him in this one. 9 was a problem shirt for the AB's for a few years, but now they have a load of talented young 9's all fighting for it.

Ben smith is a great watch but his defence is lacking. Like Andre taylor also but they are so good to watch and dynamite.
Make things happen and unlock defences. Play them with right players and you have such a threat.
Watch out for the blues winger been on 7s scene and about 23 Lomu esque no idea if he has same defensive deficiencies as Lomu but he is built. Can't wait to watch blues they will lose lots but score loads pitua etc mint attackers

To be fair a lot of Super Rugby back three players aren't brilliant defensively. The ones who are good tend to be the regular internationals.

Very true Pete. Great to watch though. Think Pitua could challenge Dagg once his defence improves he looks unreal

I've not seen enough if him to judge to be honest. Just hoping the guys I have in this game hit some form as I have a few SH players in my squad.

S15 players make the latter part of season. Burger back and goosen genia and carter on for could see me emerge as a contender.
Hard to win away though

Pitua looks a real star, such power & pace.
They reckon he could shift Dagg to wing but read he's being groomed for 13

Watching the Blues vs. Canes. Loads of pace and power in the Blues backline, they will score tries this season but they are defensively all over the place.

two late tries saved Sa'e blushes a little. Dissapointing. Those there said Karl Dickson was magnificent for Quins.
Great start for the Reds. Folau's defence found wanting bad time.

Yeah I was concerned. He is struggling out there is Folau, but I remember SBW struggling on his Union debut.

I'm surprised they started him at full back, I'd have thought he'd be better on the wing to start with.

Cooper started off better than last week here. Spot on there, wing the better call but think they have gambled that he takes like it to water.
As I say that he is charged down. Done enough to stop the try though.

Re: Homepage
He has been man of the match at fb in every pre season game pre season against the the likes of Crusaders.
I would say wing would be best to start though. I watched Jason robinsons debut and you would never have thought he would be a decent union player.
Good wheels Kane Douglas. Terrible kick cooper. Has cooper been playing well ? Just put the match on? Thought he went ok last week vs brumbies

He has been better than last week. Put in a good tackle on Folau with Ioane and a nice flick. Last week his kicking was good but he only started to create stuff when chasing the LBP late on.

Cooper is going alright, his pack are giving him decent ball. Only Hooper and Timani fronting up really in the Tahs pack.

Shouldn't have been allowed. Forward pass phase before the try. The Video Ref is allowed to back two phases according to Super rugby commentators yesterday.
Have to back the Tahs from this point.

fine break from Quirk. I wasn't happy when he didn't pass it but fairlplay to the lad. That was a massive try for Reds season if they hold on.

He's a lump Mat. With the exception of the fly half Noakes, the rest of the Blues backs were all polynesian. Big lads with loads of pace and power. If their pack get them on the front foot they will trouble any team.

Youngs good off the bench! Lucky with the try but very diffcult for the ref to see accidental offside.
