Welcome to Season 7 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 (SJE) 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 1992. 

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 National League 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.

    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.

    The window will open from the 9th of June but only to those sides that finish 8th and below at first. They will have a week to make one signing each before the window is open to all.     

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 National League 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 European Rugby Champions Cup, European Rugby 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. Failure to meet these deadlines is punishable by the addition of three match points to the oppositions final score, unless both sides fail to do so. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 15:00 hours on Sunday. 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. 
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:-

For domestic competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 of those must be in your starting XV.

For European competition at least 8 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 6 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 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.
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 upto a maximum of £5m per fine.

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 (SJE) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation (foreign transfer value) in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

Burns to start at 10 on Saturday.

Cipriani has played himself on to the bench according to SL so that suggests to me Twelvetrees was likely to start at 12??

My guess at the backline:

9. Care (50/50 fitness)
10. Burns
11. Yarde
12. Twelvetrees
13. Tuilagi
14. Ashton
15. Brown

Haha, he's certianly been getting some stick.

I think he's taking the brunt a little unfairly tbh. He plays well then makes a bad error which sticks in the memory, the problem is he makes about 3/4 of these a game so I don't people ever move on.

Eastmond showed up quite well but got bumped off a fair few tackles, I'd like to see him involved at least.

36 missed lots
Of tackles and gave an offload that cost the try.

Have said for ages he tries
To do too much. He is a unit but never hits a hard
Line. He always tries to be the footballer and is not great at it.
Poor decision maker

36 did good stuff and bad. Unwarranted criticism overall. Him and Tuialgi had minimal game time together which we need IMO.

He just needs to cut out the major errors, that offload was a bad call.

Thought Eastmond was good on defence. Dealt with everything thrown down his channel fairly comfortably. Only missed the one according to the stats. Gave Tuilagi alot of room to work in. Definite potential in a link up between the two.

Player ratings for 2 nd test

http://www.therugbyblog.com/new-zealand-v-england-second-test-england-player-ratings


To be fair I think 36 is a marmite player some people like him others
Like me really don't.
Also seen him get a 7 in others
My issue is he has the ability but he does not play his size or challenge the opposition enough. He made a cracking break but then gave a poor pass when he should have gone to ground. He then creates space with great distribution and then stand a
At first receiver and then gets it wrong.

He just does not take great options and hesitates. This leads to him panicking and forcing the pass.

He also has a known weak shoulder defensively and the 3 or 4 he missed Saturday are a regular at glos.


That said there is something wrong with our backline. No back 3
Have stood out as
They do not get chances. Too often the ball is shipped to them too early or behind them.

I think our patterns are all
Wrong and we are trying to play a game that we are not equipped to do. Our centres are not great in anyway attacking and our ten is not
A natural distributor.

Should we revert to playing a territory 10 man style which we are effective at? Our
Defence is great

Agree with SJE about Eastmond, thought he was very good the week before last and unlucky to have been dropped. Was very quick up on the defensive line and went low each time.

Twelvetrees has all the attributes to be the no12 we need, but I can't see him ever stepping up. Makes too many errors and silly decisions. Is a shame and it isn't like he hasn't had his chances.

Burrell and Tuilagi would be interesting, especially with Burns picking their lines - after last week Burrell should never play at no13 again, such a specialist defensive position and Smith had a field day against him. Put a lot of pressure on Yarde there too.

Lancaster will go Burns, Twelvetrees - can see him sticking to his guns with Tuilagi out wide as well, even though it didnt come close to working.

Lancaster's stubbornness is my worry as well Chris.  Was plain to see that Manu out wide did not work, but I think he will stick to his guns and go with it again which for me will be a huge mistake.

Agree Pete, I think anyone could see it wasn't working after 10 minutes. Thought Lancaster had been improving when to use his subs after the French episode in the last 6Nations where they cost us the game.

But he did some odd ones this weekend, not moving Tuilagi in at 13 early, even before half time and getting Webber off for Hartley when Webber was playing very well and not looking tired.

I'd say he also needs to start with his best players and get them on the pitch for as long as possible - so I'd start with Lawes and Vunipola even though Parling and Morgan have had good tours. Webber is also a better option off the bench than Hartley who isn't an impact sub.

This is a game we need to win.  All this learning from defeats is fine, but at some point you have to have learnt the lessons and you need to get results.  A win this weekend will lay down a marker and say to all the other teams that we are a real force now.  He has to pick the team that gives us the very best chance of winning.  For me, that is this....

15. Brown
14. Ashton
13. Tuilagi
12. Burrell
11. Yarde
10. Burns
9. Youngs (if Care injured)

1. Marler
2. Hartley
3. Wilson
4. Launchbury
5. Lawes
6. Wood
7. Robshaw
8. Vunipola

16. Webber 17. Mullan 18. Thomas 19. Attwood 20. Haskell 21. Dickson 22. Cipriani 23. Eastmond

I'm not sure if Launchbury will start, he's looked very jaded.

Eastmond went well but did get bumped off a few when he went high, I do like him though.

I'd be tempted with that side with doubts over Launchbury

Pete I'd agree with your England team completely there, need to win so put out the best team. Haskell has been in great form and deserves a spot on the bench.

Bench place for me would be between Eastmond and Watson, think the latter will become an England regular - could be a bit of a star for us.

Fail to see how we can pick yarde this week. They will kick at him knowing he can't kick which is them winning the territory game. Think they found a huge fault in his makeup.

ALL BLACKS: Ben Smith, Cory Jane, Malakai Fekitoa, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (c), Jerome Kaino, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Tony Woodcock.

Reserves: Keven Mealamu, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Patrick Tuipulotu, Liam Messam, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Ryan Crotty.

Surprised Fekitoa is starting, very unlike Hansen. Crotty is the safe option, outstanding defence and good basics like Smith. Fekitoa could be unreal or he could be got at.

I think Barrett must be closing to edging Cruden at 10.

That doesn't seem the opinion from what I've read. Most want Cruden with Barrett from the bench.

Barrett has looked good coming on to be fair, but easier to shine as an attacking 10 when you come on late on with the game breaking up and your pack on top.

Can't wait to see SBW back, him and Cruden had an amazing understanding.

Your Spain sweepstake not going too well Pete!

I can't see Carter getting back into the NZ fold unless he comes back storming for Saders.

Carter a different planet to others. Best ten ever. Like mccaw they will move heaven and earth to get him in the side.

Nz herald and other influential nz papers keen to seen cruden out of the team. Rather harshly he has not had above a 5 out of 10 for both matches

Likewise Conrad smith will be in no matter how well Fekitoa plays: he sets the tone in defence and attack

Carter was bang out of form before he went on sebatical, he's getting on so is a lottery how he'll come back. Cruden has been rushed back from injury and has been ok, he'll improve for 4n.
