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.

Deserves it in my opinion. Has had a superb consistent season. May had a long injury spell. Also Yarde is a better defender so that probably helped.
Wade and Yarde is a seriously exciting combo. The two wingers in the AP who beat the most defenders this in the leauge this year.

Cruden great for chiefs today. Carter runs over the top of him for
Crusaders try straight after and cruden misses quite a few more tackles.
Just like quade cooper the question is does
His magic outweigh his non defence? Today cruden defo does and whilst
He misses quite a few tackles and goal kicks in the match he has a match winning performance.
Got to love sky go when delayed at airport this morning.. Have invested in a IP blocker
To be able to watch lions etc via sky go in America.5quid
For month bargain.
Check the Kerr Barlow interview at half time. Makes frank Bruno look like Mensa

Re: Homepage
Rebels been so much better without Beale and JOC! Shows team value of team spirit and togetherness. Caderyn Neville is a top lock his combo with Pyle who is also great is fantastic.
Neville has been Aussie squad and must be at least bench.
Timani horwill
With either Pyle or Neville is great.
Simmons an awful lock

You really don't want to be a fly half when Lawes is hitting like he is today.
All key players for Saints have shown up - Tigers really need to sort out their lineout, triggers a lot of their problems as its crap ball to the back and Saints just load the front to put YOungs under pressure there!

Barnes is clearly favouring Tiggers in the scrum. There have been at least two where Saints should have had penalties as Mulipola wasn't driving straight.

Oh Dylan! Muppet, shouldn't have said that - but then look at Richard Cockerill and his behaviour constantly throughout the first half and nothing happens with him either.
First time I've seen a red card from that this season, been happening so much with players having a go at refs, Flood did it in the first ten minutes too. Maybe Barnes should have gone with a yellow to avoid the game getting ruined.
Backs to the wall stuff!

Would probably say that anyone who watches this game or the last 4-5 games Foden has played in will completely disagree with that particularly comment. Cracking try that, why they needed to go TMO is beyond me for that.

Burrell has been great here and foden man of match. Youngs darts are awful. Hartley will be out of lions now so hope we take a hooker with darts. Youngs could lose the game if he throws like this.

Suggest you rewatch when Tait just waltzed past him, his defence is really not up to what is was. I was massive Foden fan but he's not the player he was.

Re: Homepage
It is worrying when Saints reserve hooker has better darts than England's first choice - its what has kept Saints in this game as Tigers haven't got an attacking platform at all - though I am sure now that I've said that they will score a try from quick ball from a lineout.
Foden has been great for months now, all round game. Tait breaks a lot of tackles, just because you miss one in an entire game doesnt make you a bad defnder
