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

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.

Anyone else think that Twelvetrees looks like a different player for England playing outside Ford? That's two games in a row where no one has criticised him, looks far more composed.

Ford for me changes the dynamics of the backline completely, the timing of his passes for both Joseph tries and hasn't missed a tackle in 2 internationals.

Backrow also now seems to have a great balance with Haskell, as allows Robshaw and BV to play much more their natural games - for me Wood far better player than Haskell but Haskell seems to suit the team more.

It
Was noticeable when croft come on
Yesterday how much more comfortable we
Were in the Lineout.

A devent lineout team like POC heaslip and toner could get at us I feel.looking forward to the Dublin game.
We have 6 tickets between a group of us going so
Hoping I win the raffle to get to attend the game.

65 mins into England game. Must be honest I'm pretty envious of the bench you can bring on! 

For all the flak may takes and yes it was quiet and butchered the 3 on 1, he created Cips' try with 3 men going for him. Vunipola makes ground each time he takes it on and twelve trees looks a lot more confident now.

Exactly no other player would have done that. He makes
A hash of some defending in a bit prop which is so
Unlike him as he is so strong defensively usually.

Agree on May there, personally think he's a brilliant player that scares defences and makes a lot of space for others to attack. He does have the odd poor game and yesterday was probably his worst for England but still conjured up a bit of magic for the Cips try.

Was disappointed with the intensity we showed in the first 60 mins in the pack where I thought only Robshaw and BV really stood out - bench changed things.

Know what you mean about the bench Prop - how do you think today will go for you? Had a bet this week of England by 25+, Ireland by 6+ and Scotland by 3+ so am sadly going to be cheering on our friends north of the border this afternoon (sorry)

I rate Twelvetrees, he rarely looks too bad in an England Jersey. His Int form is generally better than his Gloucester form, maybe it's playing with better players?

I don't think Croft and physicality should ever be used in the same sentance.

Just seen mays attempt at a tackle for final try, pretty embarrassing!

I'm hopeful Chris as I always am but with Lee out we have the Blues 3rd choice tighthead on the bench! Big fan of Scotland and their back line. I think it'll be close and I hope for a 3 point win but wouldn't be surprised if Scotland take it.

May can do some brilliant things but the lad had zero rugby intelligence, his decision making is beyond bizarre and his defence is awful.

Is it worth the bad stuff for that off moment every 5 or so games?

He has been brilliant defensively until that miss yesterday. His working back with the back 3 and his taking of highballs is top drawer.

Made 1 howler in int career. What seems to have escaped attention is in the build up to that try both england centers missed tackles that allowed the man straight through and for the ball to be recycled and out to the Italian 13 who got through may.

We missed loads of first up tackles yesterday. Attwood and Watson missed quite a few.

That may tackle is not classed as a missed tackle which shows you the problems with rugby statistics

2 weeks in a row May has directly cost us a try, in what part is that brilliant defence?

His kicking game is poor, he consistently makes bad calls running into traffic. His good moments are serverley outweighed by his poor and awful. Time to give him some bench time or send him back to Gloucester to work in his game.

Pooly think we've all got the message on your thoughts on May lol.

Mat the guy who missed the tackle on the build up to the Italians try was Tom Youngs, was very surprised to see him do that. We missed 25 tackles or something stupid like that, May missed two of them, so there are a lot of players who missed tackles yesterday.

Burrell missed quite a few, as did Watson who should have really nailed the second Italian try scorer and that was as bad as May's miss. Was very unlike England in that area.

Prop I think you'll beat Scotland, I don't think their back row is as strong as the English in terms of supporting the backbone nullify Roberts and Davies and that should also let your back row into the game more.

A lot of papers are very surprised they didn't have Adam Jones who they are saying has started to play quite well again in recent games. Been very poor otherwise, but 3rd choice tight head for a clubside is a huge risk to take.

The problem with May's missed tackles are they're always costing tries. His defence is a huge worry.

But...Ashton, Wade and Yarde aren't the greatest defenders and last time Nowell played for England he was positionally pulled all over the place. So I see that they all have defensive issues, but all offer great attacking threats.

I may bit a bit biased but I'd always want Wade playing for England, or at least given a chance - if he gets a sniff of the tryline he scores and that is at any level - his defence has also improved this season, but would never want to see him up against someone like Savea as he'd do a good impression of a rag doll being thrown around.

Wade definitely deserves a chance and should be ahead of the rest of the wingers putting pressure on May, but I'd start May against the Irish. Still think Burrell looks out of sorts in an England shirt.

Burgess playing as well as I've seen.

Homer playing well as well.

May should stay in. Only person who can match him in attack is Wade who's defence is no better.

Why change back line that's working.

He's not having a good game in the loose either today.

Turning into a good game though - two really good tries there. Starting to like Bath these days - good to see so many young English and the style they like to play.

Used to coach Jackson Wray, never thought he'd go on to get over 100 games for Sarries.

Jackson Wray has been outstanding. He has gone up a level since I last watched him. Really really dynamic carrying so far.

Inglis a freak. He stepped at least 2m in the NRL grand final. I was sitting directly behind him. The guy did well too touch him let alone tackle him.

Haven't seen him have a bad game this year. Really impressed with him. Amazed at how the Sarries pack has bullied the Bath one out of the game - they have such a great coaching set up as a lot of their players you'd say are just average AP players but they get so much more out of them.

Inglis is just a brilliant rugby player - you'd pay money to get into a stadium just to watch him play.

All part of the learning process. He has to take a few smashings but does highlight the need for a bit of experience in big games.

This one should be good as well - not sure who is going to win at all, liked the look of the Scottish backs last week and home advantage could swing it.

I'd agree Matt, think we need to look at north and Williams over cuthbert too!! Williams was excellent today as were Webb and biggar

I think after May's defensive lapses it would be worth giving Wade a go. If he is deemed weaker in defence (which I don't buy), he will offer much more in attack in comparison to May. 

If Brown is out, I'd like to see Nowell back into the squad. He offers much more from 15 than the wing for me, although I'm sure Goode will be looked at. 

Prop, Would you consider moving Halfpenny to wing for Williams, or continue with Williams on the wing, and Cuthbert dropping out for North?

I'd be happy with halfpenny on wing as Williams os more dangerous from full back and north on other wing

It's a knock they always happen when coming back. Grade 1 is really just a heavy bang. 1 week max usually

Played very well on his return though! And not his knees.

So many injuries these days, wouldn't surprise me if they set a limit on number of games a Premiership player can play in the next few seasons as human bodies can't really cope with the hits they are now taking.

He's had a brilliant season for us this year - never thought I'd say this but am actually sad to see him go!

Really good positive buzz (sorry) around Wasps at the moment, especially after that win against Quins - Robson and Snickler both had a few goes at Simpson during the game, not sure what Simpson does to annoy Robson so much!!!

Simpson is keeping his shirt warm Chris Wink

Decent signing for Irish, I'd have took him at Falcons.

George Robson's shirt might be a bit big for him.

Simpson v good again yesterday, Hughes was also a beast (again) - the one who impressed me though was Thomas Young at openside, the managers son - schooled the Quins backrow all game.

Hi all. How is everyone?

Been popping on here quite a bit during the 6N to read your chats, bit stalker-ish but it's nice to get some un-biased opinions Whistle

Everything much the same here? Season 7 - impressive thumbsup

Hey pull fella! How's things? I've realised I've now done 5 years in this league last month! Odd to think how different my Leeds team was!
