so who did well on Sat?

For me from the backs this lot did well

Byrne
Roberts
O'Gara

The forwards were not very good at all and I couldn't really pick any of the starters out as having a big impact. O'Connell carried the ball well, but he never linked and was happy just to take contact.

Blair was shaky, but never had the protection at the breakdown. He'll need to do a lot better if he's to make the test team.

Roll on wednesday when we should get to see Hines and Murray in action!

Team now anounced - Hines starting with Ford & Murray on the bench.

On the Fantasy side Ross is 4th on the overall leaderboard

mainly helped by the fact he's read the rules and not picked any SA players unlike eddie, craig, etc


edit: you can also sort by which country you are supporting, and Ross is top Scot!

Aye..stiched up like a good 'un ....I thought they were going to include club /regional games ie the Super 14 final....never mind it's a weird fantasy league set up anyway but good for the banter & a bit of fun. Anyone seen the Golden lions team yet......... before i make my now more informed choices?!

Biggest disappointment so far .........Ferris having to retire from the Lions.....big loss.
Will Blair get a chance to redeem himself?
Hope 'Shame' Williams doesn't get picked for the test team.
What price Murray Ford and Hines in the starting line up?

sorry to see ferris going home. He's been the best player so far for me and was a stick on for the test team. Murray and hines for the test team, ford on the bench with blair.
