Welcome to Season 6 of the Aviva Premiership fantasy 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 (SJE) 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 its 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 match day 23'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 an academy squad of 20 players. Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1991.
Any player, who is at any Premiership club in real life, either in their senior, academy or AASE squads, can be bid for on the domestic bidding page. Players who are at your own club in real life and are coming through the academy system must be bid for if you want them in your own academy.
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 5 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. These players must be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by me on its 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.
There will be a summer foreign transfer window, which will run as follows.
Structured Window
No cash will be used and each team will get effectively free transfers by way of a draft, which will run 12th, 11th, 10th …… 1st, 12th, 11th,10th… 1st place side. This will run from 10th June 2013 until all teams have had their two picks.
Open Window
Open transfer window, teams have unlimited bids provided they have the financial resources to cover them. Teams may only bid for one player at a time.
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
All released players will be deemed to have joined a Championship side and can be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page.
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 match thread will be put up every Monday. Home teams must be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams must be named by midnight on Wednesday. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 20:00 hours on Saturday. 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.
Managers are asked to provide detail as to why they have predicted a result. To be considered a descriptive prediction this must be a full 3 lines long when entered into the text box. If you are not providing a descriptive prediction you will be restricted to predicting a 1 point win either way.
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 match day 23, and at least 4 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.
£2m 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.

When you are that close to the line you just smash the ball carrier or try and put him off his pass - Goode wouldnt have got to the other Frenchman if the pass had been made.
I do rate Goode, but he got that call wrong - wasn't helped by the rest of his defence though!
So you'd come in and leave the 2 men into a 2 on 1 against the full back?
Maybe you should of been a hooker Chris...

I'd smack the ball carrier every time as a fb that close to the line.

Just looking at the Fickou try Barrett has nobody covered Driver! Burrell had to come in for the tackle. With Chris Goode should have made the tackle on Fickou

Burrell had to take the carrier, he can't be sure he'd be covered.
I see your point Driver as he'd have more then likely been caught but Burrell couldn't know this.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Surely you'd back your inside man at international rugby to make the tackle though.
I don't think it's fair to blame Goode for it though as what Chris was doing originally , 2 on 1 is one of the hardest things to defend as your instantly in 2 minds about what to do.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Burrell didn't have an inside man, Szer was straight through with somebody chasing him.
I don't think it was Goodes fault, although he should have done better for the Huget try. As should of Nowell and Brown.
I honestly don't think anyone was to blame, we played really well but just fell short.
The amount of ball we had it should have been put to bed.

Just back from Paris and less annoyed by Goode and his defence than I was straight after the match
His d was poor on 2 tries but Lancaster made silly subs and was to blame. Great game and billy v and care worked well

Good news for England though Mat - means we wont be going with Brown on the wing and Goode at fullback. Get the balance back again.
Lancaster will go with the same 23, can't see him making changes after what he's been saying this week.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
One thing Mears did have was great darts, not many better around.
Crazy as in his has a broken nose and it was nearly touching his ear on Saturday, I thought he'd be out for a few weeks at least.

Same squad for Scotland game.
I thought Ford or Watson might have got a bench spot.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Didn't think Lancaster would change the squad - if he can't see that the England bench setup is all wrong then I worry about the job Lancaster and Catt do. Surely should be looking at giving players who can shine at the WC a taste of international rugby now, as opposed to giving Dickson, Barritt and Goode more caps.

If Ford is his 2nd choice he needs to blooded.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
Agree with you there - would it be Twelvetrees going to 10, or Goode?
I can't see any team this year getting a Grand Slam, so such much will be on points difference in the Championship and not to have any backs who you can bring on in the second half to score tries is a huge mistake.
Would have liked to have seen Youngs, Ford and Watson or Daly.

Re: Season 6 Homepage III
I heard Daly had a poor game in Scotland, might have played himself out this 6N.
I'd have definitely went Youngs/Ford/Watson on the bench from the original squad though.
Ford covers 10
Watson covers WG/FB
May covers 13
Farrell & Burrell cover 12

Daly was ok, in the sense that the whole team were absolutely awful - Robson and Slade both got yellow cards - the RFU website seems to have all the Saxons games on live when they play.
Wasps need to just stick and play him at 13 now, should be better next year as think we've signed Rob Miller from Sale, so fb will be covered nicely!
