Anyone know when the bath - LI teams are out? I'm overly reliant on irish players and tempted to pick up players from the games today as contingency

Dunno but it’s cutting it bloody fine now.

It's now off, and presumably they were waiting so long in the hope that test results would come back negative.

From a fantasy rugby perspective it's bloody annoying, as if this had been called a few hours earlier I wouldn't have picked so many benched players in my team

Yeah. Annoying. Also affected my thinking from a transfer POV too.

Was making my weekly subs, looking for a new flanker when I thought I'd take a look at Mike Williams. So far this season he's appeared in 8 games and has a net score of -4. He's had negative scores in 5 of his 8 games and has a high score of 9, in week 1. The most meters he has made in a game is 5. The most tackles he has made in a game is 8 (when he got red carded just after halftime), but he's missed 11 (he misses 27.5% of the time).He has two turnovers on the season, in 334 minutes of game time. He really has been quite awful.

So of course I recommend you all sign him as he's bound to have a great game now.

The values seem to be doing some slightly odd things. There have been huge drops with a couple of my squad.

Incredibly rotation has worked in my favour this week, and I've actually had choices - yes, choices! - about players in different positions. One assumes they will all be wrong, however.

Yeah, choices are when I always have my worst weeks. When I'm forced into an XV by circumstance, that's when everything pays out.

Don't say that, I'll start second guessing my selection. Had a few options in the forwards and I've gone out on a limb a bit. That and swapped both my flyhalfs over.

Made some pretty big calls this week. I’m the same with choices though … I almost always end up regretting my 50:50 calls.

The 6 Nations Fantasy game is now live.

The imaginatively titled ‘Rugby Rebels 6 Nations’ league is still there. If you’re not in it, details as follows:

Prem teams are out. Overall, its not too bad looking but I could have done without some of the teams resting their players while their internationals are away.

Hands up if you put Care as captain

Not a good start to my week.

I've had a shocker this week. Two greys on the bench and two gaps. Had to sell three, including Simmonds and Genge just to try and get a full team out. And typically the cup draw is based on this round, so I probably won't make that

Not a good start to my week.

Not as captain but he was at 9 and Green at 15. Finn Smith at 10 has scored me 1 point.

Half the starting XV have played for a combined 100 points so far this weekend. Hoping Radwan and McGuigan can start the turnaround.

At least McGuigan and Radwan showed up for you.

I had Care starting at 9 over Mitchell. To make matters worse, whichever one started was getting the armband. Obviously Mitchell had a good game and came away with 39 points, so if I’d picked them the other way around, I’d have been 36pts better off …

I also had Green at 15 who had another stinker. His form has dropped off a cliff in the last 5 or 6 weeks.

Thankfully, most of the rest of my players have scored fairly well. I have 7 starters and 3 subs today so fingers crossed for a decent score.

Sean Robinson helped me out a bit as well.

Got both the du Preez brothers and Montoya up front today as well as both Sarries centres in the backline so hoping they rack the points up.

I had a mixed week on the players I brought in. Signed Nick David and made him captain on the basis that Quins would thrash Bath - he got 30 points which wasn't bad, but not the cavalcade I was hoping for. Finn Smith was a waste of time, but Paul Hill made up for my other 5 Quins starters who let me down. Last signing of the week is Alex Lewington, who needs to score a good few tries to save me.

I couldn't get a full team out but for once some of my choices came off. Signed David and Porter, played Luke James, Montoya as captain all helping drive me to a pretty decent score all things considered

Forwards turned up for me on Saturday. 470 points making it a damn good weekend performance.

I have to say its looking very thin on the ground for next week with call ups and a bye week. I can do a starting 15 if the DOR's play ball but the bench will be a sea of red dots.

Northampton with a bye week doesn't hit me to bad.

International call ups and releases do make it a lottery. Maybe it's best to follow the Prem DOR guide book here and just invest in big South Africans.

Same here really. Currently I only have Mitchell.

Newcastle’s bye the following week will hurt me a bit more.

Good point on Falcons. Doubly so now Radwan has been called up to cover with England. Might have to plan ahead for that weekend.

How much I have to change will depend on who gets released and who doesn't and whether DORs actually play them or not.

Bloody hell, I'm struggling even more to put out a side than I was last week. Another 20 point hit to start.

Went bold and took a -20 to sign Radradra.
