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.

Which games have you got?

Me and three mates shelled out £3k for tickets, got some pretty ropey games:

France v Romania
New Zealand v Georgia
New Zealand v Namibia
Ireland v Romania
Quarter Final 2 and 3

Managed to offload the France and Ireland tickets but hoping to go to the other games. Getting accomodation in Cardiff for the quarter final double header is proving to be difficult!

Pull do what many others do and stay in bristol or Newport.

Cardiff does not have enough rooms for any event so those bristol and Newport always packed with supporters and near by.

Bristol a great city for drinking. Only a 60 quid taxi from cardiff if you want to stay in cardiff late

Just watching England game from Weekend. 

55 mins in after Youngs try.

George Kruis looks more like a international every minute , some poor calls in this game but Watson too full back does mess up your back line.

Bristol is what we're thinking - I went to uni there and my mate (one of the 4) lives there, so makes sense. Would've just been nice to go out in Cardiff and soak up the atmosphere. £60 aint bad between 4 to be fair.

Jonny May ties in 3 defenders to feed cips for try. His pace alone causes so many problems for a defending team.

I'd still leave him out the Ireland game, Jack Nowell is the guy for me!

Is Tuilagi back for Ireland?

I'd think about

11.Joseph
12.Twelvetrees
13.Tuilagi
14.Watson
15.Brown

Don't think Tuilagi is back just yet - not sure if Brown will be fit to play as if concussed in a game isnt it a minimum 2-3 week layoff these days? Only change otherwise might be around Twelvetrees for Burrell.

Moving JJ from 13 in the starting line up is madness. Tuilagi or not.

Only change for an injury. Nowell onto wing and Watson to full back is what I think will happen.

Leave Twelvetrees on the bench.

I'd prefer a solid option at FB against Ireland, Goode is the only option. I'd drop May from the squad and bring in Nowell with possibly Wade on the bench.

Same halfbacks and midfield.

I don't think Goode will get a look in. The fact they've kept Nowell suggests Watson will shift to 15.

Agree with you there Steve, no other reason for keeping Nowell and letting Goode go back to his club. Has a nice balance to the backthree, but few rugby papers saying that Brown will be given a week off and then train as normal from next week.

May will start. Need game breakers. This sun reader mentality of dropping a player for one missed tackle makes you question people's intelligence.

Haskell himself said he was the cause
Of the try in wales. May made a real hash of that tackle for
The Italian try.
It was no worse than toomua steamrollering over twelvetrees for the try in autumn series 2 years back.

May has always been great in defence. It's not
As if he has done an Ashton and let us down many times in defence.

Moving JJ is stupid also as you want him at 13.

Twelvetrees had a good 15 against wales and played ok vs a poor Italian team so why would you start him.

Burrell, Watson, Attwood etc missed loads of
Tackles and brown stupidly let in the first try for Italy yet nobody seems to hone in on it.

I'd biasedly argue that the first try was Watson's fault. Had hands on the man, so Brown went for the other who would have scored if the Italian had passed, then inexplicably Watson went for the other despite basically already being in the tackle anyway.

"May will start. Need game breakers. This sun reader mentality of dropping a player for one missed tackle makes you question people's intelligence."

I'd agree but it's not 1 missed tackle is it?

His defence is poor at Int standard, he's been shown up, AP is different to Int.

I'd also question his brains and decision making, he's had 10+ caps to iron this out, it's not 1 game. He's provided 2 moments of quality and countless errors, he's not good enough.

Good signing for Saints if that comes off - Paterson would fit into that pack very well. They do need to find a replacement for Manoa though, he is going to be a huge loss for them.

Lot of clubs making some good signings, London Irish have impressed me and quite happy with Wasps' signings so far, do still need a top quality hooker though.

Fluxy I think his agents said he was staying at Sale a few weeks ago, says that he owes the club a lot and was full of praise for Steve Diamond up there. He's really changed his career around again and was great to see the reception he got from the Twickenham crowd when he came on the pitch

I'd be surprised if Toulon was ever a realistic option, why would they want Cipriani?

Because he is a top class fly half would be my initial guess.

They met to discuss the options but Cipriani wanted to play for England so staying in the AP.

To be honest if he did move, he would be virtually available all year round, ala wilko. 

He would start for them and with Nonu & bast in the centres make a great foil for them,

Cipriani is far from a top class fly half imo, Sale is his level.

We will probably have an idea how good he now is at the end of the 6 Nations, if he makes regular bench appearances it will tell us a fair bit, I reckon he'll have earned himself a spot in the world cup squad for sure

I would have Cipriani in a heart beat for Falcons. Kicks goals at a relatively high level consistency and has become more aware of a tactical kicking game, which suits him more now I think

His goal kicking is reltivley poor even at AP level, he's not a good FH imo.

Folks,

I've noticed lately the length of tactics has begun to creep up again. Its not written in the rules but we had agreed to use a circa 500 words limit previously. Can we all try to keep to this please?

Yeah, and what are the possibilities of using audio on here for the half time team talk?

I'm thinking of making a little model of Sandy Park to help demonstrate how much of a fortress it has become...

With a moat and some actual Chiefs outside? I'll give you an extra 3 points for that
