Welcome to Season 8 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 23 players. Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1993.
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. Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will receive two additional bids to be used exclusively on academy age players. These players must be bid for on the National League Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by the RFU 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 the RFU 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.
Player Draft
Worcester Warriors & London Wasps will participate in a player draft beginning the week of June 22nd. Both sides will be allowed to draft two players each. The draft picks will go as follows; 1. Worcester 2. Wasps 3. Wasps 4. Worcester.
Round Bidding
There will be two rounds of bidding. The first window will run the week starting June 29th and the second the week starting July 3rd. All sides will be allowed to sign one player each during the window. These bids are not protected if you do not have the funds in place to bid during the window you will lose the bid.
Open Bidding
From July 13th the foreign market will be open to all bids similar to previous seasons. Due to the world cup the window will remain open till the end of September.
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 20:00 hours on Sunday. Managers will pm 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
Bonuses will be awarded on a scaled basis i.e. 2m for 5 games, 1.6m for 4 games and so on
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.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Mako much stronger from the bench, I don't think Marler has too much to worry about. Mako always a problem in the scrum against a technical scrummager.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Has Mako played badly in the last two tests? Marler the way he was playing last season became a liability in terms of kicking out, punching, mouthing off etc.
Mako is fine when playing alongside Hartley and Cole.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Marler makes plenty of tackles etc too, but if we have Mako coming off the bench we get big impact in the loose in the last 20, plenty of carrying too
Just think that for the shape of the team as a whole, if neither shows the carrying from the start, I'd rather have the guy who has shown it in the last 20 off the bench while losing nothing in the first 60

See what you are saying, just personalyl wouldn't want Marler anywhere near an England shirt again until he sorts his head out. At times last season he was a red card waiting to happen.

Marler is the stronger scrummager which is what I'd prefer starting. Mako adds carrying from the bench which he loses when he starts.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Just not sure about Marler any more tbh, he didnt play well at all last season and has got to sort himself out properly and stop causing issues for himself like last week calling Bob Dwyer a wa#ker on social media.
If there was another loosehead around that was far superior to Mako at scrum time then I'd agree with you, but he put in some shift at the weekend so deservedly has the no1 shirt until someone plays better than him.

It's Marler's shirt to lose for me and Mako hasn't done enough. He's an able sub though. It'll be interesting to see Genge come through as he can be better than them both imo.

Not at all, we've got some great options. Hill/Mullen coming on snd walking back the Aus scrum was great to watch.
Mako has has certainly went up in my estimation though, he's had a good tour.

Marler was a douche, but from January onwards he definitely played well. For England and Quins
He;s just a better LH than Mako

I'd agree with that CJ, although Mako is improving. I just think he could do with losing a bit of fat, he seems to struggle with the pace of games sometimes.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Knew it was happening fluxy. He has a stake in a restaurant in Cheltenham with my friend and paul Doran Jones. They are opening one in Gloucester in September also.
He has quite a few options including Bristol and quite a few championship clubs. Also been offered coaching roles:
Would have done well for us staying on as a bit part player and helping the you ones.
He was also talking of retiring and helping to manage the bar

Northampton flanker Teimana Harrison will start for England in Saturday's third Test against Australia as Eddie Jones' men aim for a whitewash.
Harrison, 23, who made his debut against Wales in May, replaces the injured James Haskell.
The rest of the England squad remains unchanged with wing Jack Nowell fit to start after recovering from concussion.
England have beaten Australia in Brisbane and Melbourne to secure their first series win down under.
England: Mike Brown, Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Owen Farrell, Jack Nowell, George Ford, Ben Youngs, Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley (captain), Dan Cole, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, Teimana Harrison, Billy Vunipola
Replacements: Jamie George, Matt Mullan, Paul Hill, Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes, Jack Clifford, Danny Care, Elliot Daly

Good to see Harrison get a go, I'm surprised that we've not made more changes given last week's exertions, Robshaw and Kruis I would have rested especially

Not to say it, because of I have acquired him recently! But also good to see Harrison given a crack, in an unchanged side, that is in form. Would have liked one or tow other changes, but why fix something that ain't broke!

The Australia side looks stronger, just because of Skelton! Having Toomua back in the side will be a big difference for them, gives them a touch more direction, without losing anything defence.

Toomua is a great player, but if they decided not to play him because he's leaving, they should have stuck with it and Lealifano would have done 80% of the same job

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Toomua is decent, he's add more than Kerevi at 12. I'm surprised they didn't drop Kurindrani instead of Kerevi as the latter has been the better imo.
Good chance for Harrison. Though he looked a bit off the pace against Wales despite moments of quality. Looking forward to seeing if Jones has increased his fitness in the 3/4 weeks he's had him. The lad certainly has something about him, rate him highly.

Agree, Lealifiano is also a good player, but I think is a little more passive than Toomua. If they are looking for an immediate response, I;m not surprised they have selected Toomua.

Re: Season 8 Homepage V
Toomua only been fit
For second test.
Kerevi was awful In both games in terms of positioning and general play.
He carried well but was a fish out of water at 12 for the simple reason he is a 13.
Toomua and Kurindrani is world class combo.
Can't name an int side with a better pairing currently.

Kurindrani has been poor the last 2 games, JJ has had him in his pocket.
Id have went Toomau/Kurevi. Toomua is a good solid player.

Lol how has jj had him in his pocket ?
I would say that he had a good first test and a average second test.
Personally think JJ not had a great series.
Aussie backs have not had go forwArd ball but in the first test they were cutting us to shreds.
Farrell is a decent 12 but prefer him at 10 but we have no other decent 12 unfortunatelu

I would say Faz is a world class option at 10 or 12, and JJ has been good considering the size of opposition.
I'm looking forward to the clash of Skelton and Itoje more!

Kurindrani has got nothing out of JJ, he's hardly been involved imo. Kerevi has at least made ground and looked threatening.

Some day of rugby tomorrow. Just back from holiday and will spend a day barely moving due to the quality of games.
Personally think England will lose as will Ireland and Wales but think we will take the u20 final.
Does
Anyone know if France Argentina on anywhere ?
English teams in any sport rarely finish the series off ruthlessly

Top14 final is on, couldn't really call who would win. I would say Racing, but don't think it is fair to rule out Toulon, despite their form.

Racing win with 14.
Carter and Goosen boots superb.
The long range effort from Goosen was huge.
Great roko try.
Why replace halfpenny at that point.
Apparently the same ref who red carded stander. Never a red for both.
Toulon always used
To be the smartest team now they make some awful mistakes. Tuisova gave some awful penalties and xocci yellow was unforgivable.

The Toulon side lacked leaders full stop.
There front 5 is nowhere near what it was

Not convinced with some of these decisions. Nowell having mare in defence.
McMahon the best player in the pitch.
