[Blaze]

Thought I would give this another bump. In the process of registering now.

I know very little about Northern Hemisphere footy but I will give it a crack.

 

[Anna]

Grrrr, Jauzion might not play.....I need some flair in the backs dammit....It can't all come from God's hair.....I mean Brian O'Driscoll btw

Jauzion for 3 weeks. Fractured toe. Duly dumped from my XV.

 

[Anna]

Grrrrr At least I still have time to change him.....

 

[The Baconator]

I'm in, but I know absolutely nothing about rugby, so expect me to come last.

 

[steds]

I take it there are no Scots or Italians in your teams too!

Ha! Serves you unbelievers right.

 

[Anna]

Dammit, I was tempted to put Sean Lamont in my team but didn't. I am a dim child. Oh well.

Ga! They've shut the site down now for 'essential maintenance'. Read that as 'something's gone **** up and we don't have a clue what it is'.

Well, I don't think I've done too badly....things haven't been helped by the fact that Lewsey went off after 2 mins and Gareth Delve & Shane Byrne weren't even on the bench

 

[Anna]

Ha, it just says 'Sorry' now.

[superkingdave]

wow im not bottom!

what's the rules on changing?

 

[superkingdave]

having 5 players not selected and Lewsey going off injured didn't help...

O Magne, R Ibanez have now been called up

S Byrne will he return to the ireland squad after their dissapointing display?

how long is Ryan Jones out for - the whole tournament?

Jauzion will be back next week right?

will Lewsey be out now?

 

[Anna]

Er, I think you're allowed a max. of 5 changes in a week, total of 10 over the whole tournament.

Think I might risk keeping Lewsey...well, depends on the verdict on his scan this afternoon. Valbon's going...he did nowt yesterday.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Can't believe I'm joint 3rd, not one person in my entire team scored a try.

Jones out for whole tournament, yes. Jauzion out for 3 weeks, apparently. He's broken his ickle toe!

Haven't heard about Byrne, but Flannery (his replacement as Mick hooker) scored a try so I wouldn't bank on him starting.

Fingers crossed for Lewsey, although Voyce did well in his absence.

Clearly I didn't cross them hard enough! Lewsey out of the Italy game:

I presume Voyce will go to 15, which means Tom Varndell may get a spot on the bench. If he gets on in the last 15-20 against a tiring team he could do some serious damage. The boy's very quick.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Amazing, I absolutely have no try scorers in the France v Ireland game which had 10 tries or something. Yet I have all of the points scorers for England, including 3 tries so far.

Bleh, had the wrong friggin Bergamasco tho.

Latest update is up. Storming round for SKD who moves up to second from seventh & there's also upwards movement from Marc who nips into third ahead of his dear chum Scaly by the odd point.

Anna is sadly the week's biggest faller, dropping from second to sixth, but a mere ten points seperate second from seventh.

1) Dale Brumby Entering Church Daily 127
2) Dave Richards Rod Hull's Emu XV 104
3) Marc Robbins AA does Rugby? 100
4) Craig Beevers Scaly Piscine XV 99
5) Sim Mahon Best of Brit 98
6) Anna Butler Butler's Beauties 97
7) Sean Bennett Two too many players 94
8) Jamee Gray Jamee's Egg Chasers 80
9) Tim Whelan The Last XV 73
10) Alex Crampton Vindscreen Vipers 60
11) Stephen Burke Xtreme XV 36
