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 Finalist - £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.

Only EQ. Under current rules, foreign releases have gone back in to the foreign market. This is changing in the summer.

It will our lack of depth at th costs matches. Harden did this a few weeks ago. We are a better side with him. When he was out earlier in the season our
Form went a bit.

Nacewa and contepomi retiring.

Kahui back this week

If Saints signed North that suddenly turns their backline into something very good.

See that Lancaster and Rowntree are complaining about Walsh's reffing at the scrum and breakdown.

I have issues with hits scrum reffing. Both sides giving penalties away but he had come into the game thinking Wales had a stronger scrum so gave them benefit of doubt all game.

Wales pushed without the ball in and we took too long to adapt to this. Jones really tore into Marler, will be a good lesson for him.

Jones seemed to bind badly on Marler too and drag him to the ground - there were some odd calls, twice Hibbard popped up first and Wales got the penalty. Didn't understand that at all.

The scrum is such a pain though as the amount of resets in each game is getting worse and worse.

Actually quite looking forward to the England summer tour now, when you look through the clubs there are quite a lot of good youngsters who should get their chances.

Everyone knew that was happening Chris.

So far only Joseph, Corbisiero, Gibson and Moates have left, not the end of the world.

JJ is quality on hard grounds not sure Bath is the right club for him, think he would of suited Quins better.

Is an odd one with Bath if they are thinking of playing Eastmond in the centres - couldnt imagine that working all that well. Must be frustrating for guys like Ben Williams and Ben Mosses though as both seem pretty good and on the verge of breaking through into the first team.

Yeh Eastmond / JJ wouldnt work for me. could be proved wrong.

massively rate Yarde. I know your not a stats fan matt but he is in the top 5/10 for things like clean breaks, defenders beaten, metres made etc. I've been to every Irish home game this season bar one and he has been our best back.

Think both Jj and eastmond are a bit light in defence. You can go through them so can't see that working.

Maybe Jj will be back 3 for them

JJ played fullback in a couple of games for Irish in the Amlin and was pretty good. Handy winger also. Such a good turn of pace he can burn past his 1st man easily. fullback could suit him.

Martin Johnson backs AWJ for Lions captain. I'm not even sure he'd get on the plane in my squad. So much being read into one game. Welsh up here are still going on about it! It's their world cup final every year!

What I mean is Steve is that they are both light hitters and and people can get their arms free to offload easily so the 2 would not work together. Jj a decent enough defender. Eastmond learning he misses
Quite a few and gets steamed through as he goes a bit high for his size but that's probably due to league. Tindall went through him a few times recently. He is a strong little lad though and ripped the ball off one of our big lumps in the tackle

I am hoping JJ gets a fresh start at Bath. There is little doubt that 10. Ford 11. Biggs 12. Eastmond 13. JJ 14. Banahan 15. Abendonan is exciting but it relies and awful lost on Banahan getting over the gainline from the wing. I am no fan of his as a 12. Bath pack not renowned for its carrying either to be fair.

Exciting in attacks but quite dodgy in defence. Eastmond, Ford, Biggs, Banahan and Bendy all not the best defenders.

Is Lee Dickson meant to be signing for them from Saints to replace Claasens? If so first all English backline in the AP?

They could do with a second row like Hamilton though, maybe a prop like Henry Thomas too.

Whens Thomas out of contract?

Classens is a big blow to Bath, he has been the heartbeat of their side for years. Dickson is good though and could do a similar job.

Awj would not get in my lions squad as a baggage handler. That's why Johnson is an ex England coach.

Hard to pick a captain as they need to be first name on team sheet.

Abendonan is exciting but it relies and awful lost on Banahan getting over the gainline from the wing. I am no fan of his as a 12. Bath pack not renowned for its carrying either to be fair.

Banahan been more 13 this year with eastmond 12. They work better that way than the other way around strangely as I would not have picked it that way.

Well at least we will have a couple of players on the bench! Maybe.

its unbelievable how that one game has changed everyones opinion on the Lions. before it the team was england dominated now we dont feature at all and wales dominates it.

people say that england players played themselves out of contention v wales. what about ireland being poor all tournament and winning one game?! no-one really mentions that.
