Rugby Union Draft II

[Somerset]

Given the popularity of the second version of several of the drafts in the Cricket Chat forum, would we be interested in a second rugby union draft? Perhaps make it a more modern draft, 1987 (so from the inaugural World Cup) and onwards?

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, I'll have another go.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

yea ill have a go

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Will try.

 

[99*]

Yes.

 

[ripper868]

In, won't be available until monday though.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Aye

 

[Smudge]

ok

 

[Somerset]

Ok well thats nine that are keen, maybe one more to make it a draft of ten members?

 

[Somerset]

Unless someone signs up tonight, I'll do the draw tomorrow and we'll go from there. One more would be ideal to have an even ten for the draft but I suppose nine would leave a few better players for the remaining sides.

Thought i'd already said sure to this, apparently not.

I move a motion that drafting be suspended on weekends (or more that people don't lose their spot if they are up on a weekend)

If you can't make it on weekends and you think your turn will come about then, I'm sure you could email one of us your selections and we could input them for you.

The draft order, done using random.org/lists so vent your frustration at that site, not me thank you.

1. Ripper868
2. 99*
3. Voltman
4. S.P.Fleming
5. BoyBrumby
6. Samuel_Vimes
7. Matteh
8. Somerset
9. Michaelf7777777
10. Pup Clarke

We'll run a snake draft going 1-10 then 10-1 and so on. Remember only players that featured in a test match from 1987 or later applicable.

 

[ripper868]

Well, an easy and predictable first pick for me:
5. John Eales and captain.

Team so far
5. John Eales (AUS) (c)

 

[Francis]

Room for me???

 

[Somerset]

I've no problem if you want to be added as number eleven in the draft so long as thats ok with the other drafters.

 

[ripper868]

No probs here.

 

[Smudge]

Only if he doesn't **** on about how awesome someone's team is halfway through the draft and questioning why we are still bothering doing the draft.
