World Cup Speed Draft

[ripper868]

Bugger for Navidi, had a good cup I thought.

Will take Tom Curry as replacement, the last available starting loose forward I think (maybe Moriarty, but too risky of a card for mine).

 

[Jarquis]

What’s the ruling on Williams?

 

[ripper868]

Since hes been ruled out of the tournament, a replacement can be picked, same as I could pick Curry to replace Navidi.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yup.

 

[Jarquis]

Ah, last I saw was he was only out for the semi and a big doubt for any of the games next week and Wales weren’t sure if it was worth replacing him.

I’ll take a look.

Liam Williams: Wales full-back will miss rest of World Cup through injury - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/50171499

Pretty safe I'd say mate!

 

[Jarquis]

Oh, I believed you!

I meant I'd take a look to see who to replace him with, my apologies!

I'm not really sure who to go with tbh... and I'm not sure how much you'd like to advise seeing as you're the bloke I'm gunning for!

 

[Howe_zat]

Rory McConnachie imo.

Ha no probs mate, I thought you mean't wait and see if William's gets passed fit for the final.

Agree with Howe, McConachie a great shout alternately, I'll happily trade you Ben Smith in exchange for your pick!

Think most will overtake me these 2 matches, I've got 7 players left, and will have maybe 4 in the final I think!

 

[Jarquis]

So I’m taking from that, the play off game doesn’t count?

 

[Howe_zat]

3rd place game definitely counts.

 

[ripper868]

I'd totally forgotten about the 3/4 playoff tbh!

 

[Jarquis]

Leigh Halfpenny

Can’t see too many first choice players being selected for it though.

Ben Smith rises again!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

not totally out of it yet. Pollard to kick me 50 points for the title.

does hurt that I picked two Aussie wings and not the 2nd points scorer of the tournament though.

 

[Jarquis]

Brumby and I both have some injured players to replace...

We both need outside backs so not sure how you want to decide who gets first dibs?

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah just go ahead and post replacements

Also if you can please give me a link to where someone has been ruled out through injury, as some players will just be rested for the bronze final.

Tomas Francis (shoulder), George North (hamstring), Aaron Wainwright (hamstring) and Leigh Halfpenny (concussion) are all unavailable.

Happy to give Marcuss first crack.
