Rugby Union Draft II

[S.P. Fleming]

Apologies to SP Fleming,but I won't have access for the next 12 hours. I'll go for Patrice Lagisquet on the left wing, forcing Geoghegan to the right wing. If SP wants him, all good...

its all good, i choose Richard Loe.

 

[ripper868]

Toutai Kefu at #8 (AUS)
Patricio Noriega at #3 (ARG/AUS)

 

[99*]

Scott Quinnell (WAL) for #8.

 

[Smudge]

One of my favourite scrumhalves is still available, so Robert Jones it is for my #9 jersey.

 

[S.P. Fleming]

Rocky Elsom please.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think my back three needs some height, so will go for the underrated Joe Roff.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Bakkies Botha

Team is full of angry Afrikaners as it is. Might as well complete the set.

 

[ripper868]

Think my back three needs some height, so will go for the underrated Joe Roff.

Fair Pick that Brumbles, can kick goals as well. Was going to be mine if he got through this round (and next).

 

[Smudge]

Matteh, Somerset and MichaelF, have a go...

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Will Carling for my next pick please

 

[Francis]

Once again, none of my choice can conflict with the jacket. So Michael can just go when ohtani's makes his selections.

Émile N'Tamack #14

Because when you're not in a backline light years ahead of everyone else, you're the current French backs coach.

Philippe Saint-Andre #11

Because when he's captain it's OK to let Serge Blanco run the ball out of the in-goal area.


FRANK'S TEAM (with only one position to fill)

1. Christian Califano
2. Daniel Dubroca
3. Jean-Pierre Gauret
4. Martin Johnson (c)
5. Ian Jones
6. Willie Ofahengaue
7. Simon Poidevin
8. Laurent Rodriguez
9. Rob Howley
10. JIFFY
11. Phillippe Saint-Andre
12. Denis Charvet
14. Emile N'Tamack
15. John Gallagher

 

[Somerset]

Gareth Jenkins (#12) - not his usual position but for a versatile player I don't think he'll have too many problems adjusting. Saves moving Sella out of outside centre anyway.

 

[ripper868]

Dear Francis,

Please make like the rest of the good folk in thiis draft and wait your turn, regardless of conflicting position choices or not, it just makes it harder for Somers. **** for picking Bernat-Salles as well.

 

[Francis]

Dear Ripper,

Yeah I'm not around for the next 48 hours. I perhaps should have mentioned that. So I had to make my choices now. Given that circumstance I don't think I'm putting anyone out of place, especially considering Voltman chose Patrice Lagisquet ahead of someone's pick (not having a go at him or anything) and it didn't put anybody's nose out of joint.

But I take your point.

Matteh still has to go.
Then ohtani's jacket.
Then back to MichaelF.

 

[Somerset]

Dear Francis,

Please make like the rest of the good folk in thiis draft and wait your turn, regardless of conflicting position choices or not, it just makes it harder for Somers. **** for picking Bernat-Salles as well.

I didn't really need another winger but agree with the principle there.

 

[ripper868]

Matteh, Ohtani and F's are up, Rumour has it Matteh en route to Latvia to see his bride, shotgun Campese

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Mills Mulliani (#15) for my next pick please

 

[Somerset]

The under-rated Juan Smith to play in the #6 jersey for my side - leaving just a flyhalf to be named.

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Sorry for the delay.

Jeff Probyn (#3)
Steve McDowell (#1)

Edit: Both those are gone. Very good fellas. Need a bit more time then.

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Martin Castrogiovanni (#3)
Rodrigo Roncero (#1)
