That time of the year again, when dinny tries to his put his coaching skills to the test against us mere mortals. HE hasnt won it yet though, closest Kildare got was 2 years ago when Lynchbhoy scraped it. Celt Man defends his title this year. Good Luck.

Sign of a great team/individual is to retain their title.......
...So I'm expecting to fail spectacularly this year
I have applied to join.
Does the Lucky Dip help?

This has to be my year...

nor will I .
cant enjoy the fecking games if I want some fuzzy headed Italian prop to score against the Irish team or I suddenly find myself cheering on the english wingers to score tries against anyone !
it turns my 'logic' upside down so I just cannot enter this kind of thing again !
maybe if you just let Dinny set up as the only entrant , he might actually win it.
though its not like the real thing where he can buy in players with his chelski style club benefactors bankrolling him !!! ;)

Would much prefer if there was no transfers, mould be less work keeping the thing right. Have a shot at it and whatever luck comes your way (injuries and such) put up with it.
Hate the open 8 selection policy too. Bit of a mockery when you are consigned to just 1 SH and OH but can gleefully start 8 open-side flankers.

No managers name a second open side in their squad? fuckin hell that's an odd move.
Who had Flood on their team, a 21 point haul for him I think with the man of the match.

As a proud band of ABEs (Anyone But Englanders) I'd say none of us had the little Saxon p***k near the first 15. Shite luck.
I had Ashton, should have got MOTM too! ;)
Anyone know when they'll update the scores??

14 more games to go, plenty of time. Lets hope Sexton outscores flood today
Newbridge Exiles has Ashton and Flood. Roight ledges has Flood and a lot of teams have Ashton including myself, He got 15 points and 21 for Flood sending Newbridge exiles way out in front. ALways important to get off to a good start in these shorter fantasy leagues like the six nations or fifa world cups.

Probably 'Ireland' although odds are shortening on 'Oweland' and 'Bundesland'.
:)
Still waiting on England to pick theirs. I have just added Flood so he better be picked.
The subs have been made, the manager sits back and awaits star turns all around!!
At least i have 15 men starting this week, the only way is up!!
:D
Pure fluke last week, didn't have much time to look at things, never good to see England win but the pain was eased with Flood and Ashton doing the business, normal service will probably be resumed this week and my spiral down the leaderboard will commence

who have you then. if its Parra or Hook you will be alright but if it's Castrogiovanni i dont fancy your chances :D
Ryan jones???
Jesus, The Scotland team must have a tonne on themselves to lose this match!!!
Also Ashton is the f**king pick for the 6 nations fantasy team. I nearly didn't pick the wee hoor either, I thought he was Ben Foden and I only picked him for the way he played in paris last year!
very tight at the top

Very tight at the top is right, swapping Cueto for S Williams and putting in R Gray didn't do me any favours... I still lead by 1 though!

The top 3 is very tight and then there is 4-10 very tight as well. I can still get 4th place I think.

Honestly havent look at my team for the last 2 rounds, was in Madrid at the weekend and didnt even know the results until this morning,who knows this could be the catalyst for the glory days to come back to the Creagh:-)
FInal weekend
going to take a few chances now, even though im only 3 points off the lead. Its all abit of craic, no point in playing cagey now. Taking Ashton out even though he has got me 47 points !
