Introduction and Kickoff
00:00:27
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the fancy rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. It's fancy corner time. Let's go have ourselves a ball, shall we? Uh, maybe not me.
Champions Cup Weekend Analysis
00:00:38
Speaker
Cause I did so badly in the opening weekend champions cup. Uh, damn it. Yeah. Where are you in the, in the U S not that far down, but also like that's cause half people fucking didn't pay attention. Uh, it's possible.
00:00:55
Speaker
Yeah, there are 73 people that did not register a team that are joined, or no, there's not so many teams. No, it says 99, there's like 26 or so. Okay, there you go.
00:01:15
Speaker
I'm on there, but I'm not, certainly not that far. Oh, 24. Okay. I can look at that. I sound terrible. No, no. Did not do well. You are top six there. Yes, I am.
Fantasy Rugby Strategies and Decisions
00:01:26
Speaker
I did okay. Way to represent. I made a very good decision. So I did have the question for the geek.
00:01:36
Speaker
before, you know, before lineups were all set. And my question was, should I go with Marcus Smith without the T and Ramos with the T or would you rather or should it be Ramos without the T and have like a I was thinking I'm a Pollard.
00:01:55
Speaker
with the tea. As it turned out, I did the Marcus Smith without the tea and it was just fucking fine. Marcus Smith without the tea actually outscored Pollard with the tea by like doing a lot. That says a lot. Yeah. That really helped me out. It was the
00:02:21
Speaker
Uh, Arendelle just not scoring at all. Um, he had some opportunities, but it was really bottled up really well. And then my locks killed me. I had a Tojay with minus two and skeleton with 4.5. And I thought that was going to be a lot better than it was. Barfzilla. Yeah.
00:02:39
Speaker
Other than that, it did really well. Like everybody, everybody scored pretty well. So happy with it. Just three bad decisions. Even Ryan, John Ryan only had two points and I thought he'd do better. Um, thank you about with seven and a half. He could have that. He just, it didn't break through for him. He had so many opportunities though. I thought that that was going to be a, a steal or like going in the direction that nobody else would go, which I was kind of right. But.
00:03:05
Speaker
Didn't quite pay off. Nope. Didn't quite work out. Yeah. We talked about on the last pod and months we decided to not stop attacking for whatever reason. Right. Thank you guys. She's way to go guys. So champions league standings are Duncan sits at the top, Justin and Cobas. Then my colleague here, Ben Mark, Stu and George and I hanging out at the bottom.
00:03:35
Speaker
Only six points separate us though. So Hey, listen, I'll point to point in the fucking standing. So if I can get off the bottom, I'll tell you. Right. Um, I liked that Mark with his random team generator. Cause he was, that's great. He just was like, he literally was throwing shit at the wall at the last minute and actually came across really, really well. Worked out.
Team Strategies and Performances Analysis
00:03:53
Speaker
Okay. Worked out just fine. Worked out. Okay. His only mistake was he captain Darin though.
00:03:59
Speaker
Oof, yeah. For only six points. Other than that, I mean, that's... I'm just looking around, like, you know, Van Vic had seven, which is actually a lot for him, I think. That was good. Problem, yeah. Not problem. Dan Dupree only had eight, which is... He came off early too. Yeah. Not helpful. And Randall even had 8.5, 8.5. That's, you know, a really good day, even with the triad.
00:04:24
Speaker
Yeah, he had played those with his only players that were under 10 points. Everyone else was, was really good. So Mark, well done.
00:04:35
Speaker
Especially for that, again, under pressure. He had like a half hour. That's, it took me like two hours to get, I ended up getting two more points than him. So there you go. The division two, so I'm going to send out, first of all, someone sent out a search party for Franco. Didn't, didn't join. So hopefully he's on the game and just didn't join the league, which is fine.
00:04:59
Speaker
Abby, Alex and Paul are the top three, uh, Barty's pulling up the, pulling up the rear with a wooden spoon. He yelled less than I did. So that's a good day, buddy. It's all I know. It's all I know. There's nobody to shame for doing worse than my wife because my wife's not in this one, but that's okay. Shame on you all for being worse than her anyway.
00:05:21
Speaker
So for PWR this past weekend, because of the timing of the cancellation of the Gloucester heartbreak match, we are going to go with just everybody's on by every, all the players that
Impact of Match Cancellations and Bench Strategies
00:05:32
Speaker
you use this weekend. You get to go, they get to go back in your pool. You can use them again if you want to this week. Um, so we're going to go through that though our picks again, but yeah.
00:05:41
Speaker
Everybody's on zero, especially since a couple people either picked all three or two. I was like, oh yeah, okay, that's not cool. Yeah, and there's no chance of- Replacing them. Replacing them at that point. That was kind of ass, so we're going to- Yeah, that was shitty. I mean, it's sad that it came to that, but- Right.
00:06:00
Speaker
I hope we're moving away from that slowly. Right. Look, if we were in a position where we were like a super brew and could have like a bench where, okay, you could actually say, okay, here's some of my line. You're not just doing three players. That's just what we can handle for now. Sorry. We'll do better in the future. Another day, another time, but not today. Right.
00:06:23
Speaker
So it's like, there's no, there's yeah, it's only fair in the end. It's not really a, uh, a clean competition. Um, yeah. Half the play half the half the league is like catching zeros. Yeah. No, it's silly. It's silly. It's not really all you get that point. It's just a shit show. I mean, I'm annoyed cause Sarah burn got over, but at the same time I'm also not too annoyed cause Ellie killed on, um,
00:06:50
Speaker
was not her usual self. No. So I'm glad to have some, I had some, my girl's all, all scored except Alex. Well, Alex Matthews, but you know,
Player Picks and Predictions
00:07:01
Speaker
so anyway, so we're going to go do our picks here. Um, so I'm going to start, I'll start cause I don't mind. Um, I'm going to go Sophie to goodie. Okay.
00:07:16
Speaker
I think it'll be a, I think she's going to have a good time, a good old time over there at welfare road. Um, I'm going to stick with my back from last week and ride that and go to every Wells from Bristol. Um, I think, I think there might be a little bit of space this weekend. And then, um, for my kicker, I'm actually gonna go for Victoria Irwin from sale. All right. Got to use them all at some point. So yeah, I think this will be a good enough matchup that she can take advantage. So I'm going to, I'm going to play her.
00:07:43
Speaker
And, um, I am not fucking around this week. Um, I'm going all Saracens. Oh, I'm going for my forward is just going to be Rosie Galligan. Okay. Yep. Um, my back is going to be page fairies who I have not selected yet. And my kicker is going to be Sophie to good. Okay. Yeah. Especially if, yeah, especially if they go without Zoe this week.
00:08:09
Speaker
Right. So it's a question. I mean, look, I had this, that's subject to change based on the, on the lineups they put out, obviously. Obviously. Um, but that's, yeah. I, I'm, I, yeah, because of that, I'm like, you know what, I'm going to pick all the saris and if they, they go a change lineup or they, they fuck with me a little bit, then I'll, I'll adjust. Find another one. Find another one. Right. That's all it is. That's all it is. No big deal. But those, yeah, I don't, nobody's taken Rosie yet. So I don't know.
00:08:38
Speaker
exactly how well she scores, but I know she gets a ton of tackles. And she has a decent amount of carries too. So yeah, especially since our tackle numbers don't necessarily reflect poorly upon
00:08:54
Speaker
Um, scores the tackles here. So, um, there's no, there's no miss tackle penalty. So she makes a lot. So I don't care. Yeah. Yeah. Let me just look at series last match. Where the fuck did it go? Yeah. I think you probably have a better feel for the, for translating the numbers into the points than I do. Let's see.
00:09:23
Speaker
to do. Yeah. Yeah. She, she got hurt last time. I would think. Nope. That was against her. I'll find her. She's nevermind. That's a lie. Um, Jesus. Where'd it go? Where's the other one? Was that it? Okay. Yep. Here we go.
00:09:49
Speaker
That was it. This is the, yes, this is the weekend against, here we go. Let's look. Um, she had 10 tackles. She actually had a good, good day against Quinn's. She had 10 tackles and 71 meters. So she would have had, you know, thereabouts, you know, quite a few points in meters, um, and tackles. So that itself would have done, done her a ton of good. Um, played all eight, played 68 minutes or minute bonus would have been for two. So now.
00:10:19
Speaker
would have scored a decent amount. We had someone played against Quinn's. So I'm going to take it all. I'm going to think that she'll do a little bit better. Yep. I'd better pick it all. Maybe she'll duck down as well. That'll help. Right. That will help. She does that on occasion. Yep. Every once in a while. Let's do the pick of them. I believe I have. I'm starting us off at Franklin's gardens. Yes.
00:10:44
Speaker
I guess because I have they own Glasgow. Yeah. All right. So Northampton and two on Northampton have the Friday game three rounds in a row.
00:10:53
Speaker
Fun. Last week, this week, and then the next round when we go to the new year. Oh, okay. Interesting. I don't know if that's a good thing or I don't know if that's an advantage or if it's a disadvantage, but yeah, so fun fact. Anyway, for the Saints, just going to go off the guys that are highly picked. Langdon is a go. Okay.
00:11:16
Speaker
I don't love it. Find others. Laws, again, expensive, but okay. Like you might, like you've, some of you probably picked them for round one, so if you're stuck with them, okay. Mitchell, Finn, yes, especially at home. Freeman's a yes, and I'm going to go yes for a handy, especially because it was price for too long. They better fucking show up this week.
00:11:39
Speaker
Giga. Yup. Gigashvili. Yes. Singles. Yes. Olivan. He was my captain last week. He did great. Herva, for his price, absolutely. He had a great game. Yeah, he had a good game last week. Nyan Clebu is a go. And so our Villiers and Jomineh, they're probably worth the coin that they're pumping out. Although, I will say Jomineh, one of his big benefits was kicking, but Herva's kicking. Let's go. Keep that in mind. Right.
00:12:06
Speaker
They own hosting Glasgow. Um, they own are probably just worth avoiding. They didn't have a single starter over 13 points. Um,
Upcoming Matches Analysis
00:12:14
Speaker
they had one, I think hit 13, um, their backup prop, uh, Taghi scored 14.5, but you're going to play it back up. No, you're not. Um, Mashino would be more valuable if he was on a better team. Um, but he was not one of the players. Obviously he didn't swear that high. Like it's great. You know, they have some good players, but you're not getting much value there.
00:12:36
Speaker
Um, for Glasgow, uh, Darge should be good. Ollie Smith. Um, surprise. Kensilieri and Mackay are, are absolutely possibilities here. Darg, Kensilieri we know is, is super expensive. Um, but I can't deny he, he could back it up. You know, um, the saints defense is, is much, much improved and he still was tearing it up. So this is, this could be a good match for me.
00:13:04
Speaker
All right. So we got a lot of my matches are going to be pretty, you got the interesting ones. I know. Sorry. Well, I mean, some of them are interesting. So we got stormers and louder shell. So I'm assuming stormers will go back to a stronger team, but it doesn't mean that you can't, you know, look at some of the guys that scored well last week for them either. Um, as I said in the previous product, I was not a fan into Benny.
00:13:29
Speaker
So if Dweb is back in the lineup for them this week, he's a go. Marabe, who's the number eight that played for him last week, he's good. For me, might be at hooker. So even though he's a little sizzled forward, so kind of a wait and see on him. Matthew scored well and he's fucking cheap. So keep him, keep an eye on that. If he's in again, I would consider him.
00:13:51
Speaker
Jean-Luc Duplisi, I love the way he played, so yes, and then Loder, yes, especially for their prices. For Ladd Rochelle, I'm assuming they're, because they lost last week, they're gonna send full boat down to South Africa, so Antonio.
00:14:10
Speaker
I don't love prop prices, so I'm going to say no. Skeleton, not bad for, I mean, a little expensive for a lock, but can do a lot. So I'll give him a yes. Botea, he needs to redeem himself. So yes. Uh, Kerbalo, uh, I'll give a go. Astoy, uh, give him another guy that's like, he's like 10. I think he's top of the price range. Yeah. That's going down to South Africa. It's kind of scary for me in this case. And then, um,
00:14:40
Speaker
Dante, again, high price and didn't perform well, but I'm going to give him a yes, because I think the build will be much better than it was in Marcel Delflongre. So we'll give him a thumbs up and a bet for the doubt this week. And he probably won't get a card again this week. That'll help. That'll help. Okay, off to Stonex for Saracen's hosting Canacht. For Saracen's, look at the forwards.
00:15:09
Speaker
Almost any of them will do. Basically, anyone out past Farrell just kind of hold off. Not that they won't score, but it's obviously, as we saw last week, it's incredibly inconsistent. So it's hard to know when they're going to go off, but the forwards are usually pretty consistent. Mauro Itoje's performance last week aside. But yeah, you're still looking at Mauro. You're still looking at Theo. You're still looking at Christie, especially.
00:15:39
Speaker
Um, and obviously Jenks is, is a, um, he's, he'll be worth it. Um, certainly this week, uh, for connect, I'd probably just stay away, especially if Mack Hansen's injured. I don't know what they're going to have. Um, and what they're going to.
00:15:56
Speaker
There's going to be rockets that are going to be fired up asses. I mean, not that that like that was a terrible loss to lose away last week, but now every match is a must win for Saris. And when that happens, the opposing team is just one of those that's not going to score high in fantasy. So I would just stay away from Canucks entirely. Other French team, Bordeaux, they played.
00:16:21
Speaker
You think what's that? Other French team, they play, they played Bordeaux. Oh, okay. Not to lose. Still didn't do well. No, still didn't do well. Um, I'm speaking to Porto. This should be an intriguing matchup to say the least. Um, Bordeaux and Bristol for the home squad, Bordeaux, um,
00:16:43
Speaker
Felatea, yes, Tamifuna, if he starts, yep. Samu's a go. Tatafu is, I think I'm also going to give a thumbs up because, I mean, while Bristol won last week, they still just bled points everywhere, so. Yeah, there's- And they're now on the road. Right. There's going to be opportunities. It's going to be one of those games. It's going to be the same kind of game, high scoring, I think. Lucu not worth his price. Jelly Bear is worth his price. Uberti may be kind of a shot in the dark,
00:17:13
Speaker
low price guy. Okay. Um, I called Burroughs to sit last week and I felt really stupid. So I'm not going to say that this week, um, no matter where he's playing, whether he's, even if he's playing somewhere in the stands. Um, but yeah, Pennell Burroughs, Billy, if he, if he comes healthy, um, all, all are going to be thumbs ups for Bordeaux Begla, um, for the bears.
00:17:36
Speaker
If Genga's back, he's a go. Singler, I'm still not super, super, super loving, especially for his price. So careful with that. But Genga's worth the coin. Thacker, yes. Lewitt, two are kind of winding back the clock. So I'd give him a look. I'm not saying full on go, but give him a look. Randall and Sheedy away from home scares me a little bit. Randall less than Sheedy, but still.
00:18:00
Speaker
Um, the centers woke up, it was actually Benard, but Vacantawa is actually more highly owned. So I'm okay with it, but just temper expectations. And then you better options elsewhere is all, I agree. I agree. But like you were saying, you're Betoya seems to be built for this comp and decent price. So he's a thumbs up for me. All right, Leon, I'm hosting the bulls.
00:18:25
Speaker
That entire back line for Leon looks pretty gold, minus the 10. Although even that 10 was in play, but still, their 10 was shit. Kapoku and Akoya in the forwards, it was fun. I think we were mentioning the other part about players, you have to rotate out Kapoku.
00:18:45
Speaker
I thought he had some really good moments. Unfortunately, he had to come out. I think he got hurt. Hopefully, he's okay. I want to see more of him, but it was just weird to see him in another uniform. He was out of sight, out of mind for so long. But yeah, look for him. For the bulls, the front row, the back row, and the
Weekly Picks Review and Fantasy Rugby Tips
00:19:05
Speaker
tenet and out could put up some points. But again, they're traveling this far, which will make it
00:19:14
Speaker
significantly more difficult for them. So temperate, like it's one of those, if you think you're going to, they're not going to score the same as they did last week. Although again, they're playing against a fairly good fantasy defense, one of the best fantasy defenses and still the guys who put up points will still put up points, but might even be less because there'll be on the road. True.
00:19:38
Speaker
They're the ones traveling, not, you know, they weren't just playing against a, the wolf pad. They were playing against a very tired Saracen steam. So we're very, you know, not adjusted. They should have been adjusted. They just should have been, but they just, yeah, they looked not themselves. Yeah.
00:19:54
Speaker
All right, Leinster and Sale. Leinster going back home after quite a win away from home, and they're going to be fired up. So, for the fellas in blue, Porter, Ella, Ella, Toa, yes, love Ella, Ella, Toa was priced, so give that a look. Sheehan's probably worth the money. Baird over James Ryan, but I guess both will be okay this week.
00:20:21
Speaker
Um, Doris and van der Fleer, again, expensive, but probably worth their go, especially given. I think they're, are they playing this at the RDS? Are they playing it? Hold on. Let me double check my work here. They're playing the CRPS. They're playing this at the Aviva. RDS. Okay. Cool. So they're definitely going to be home, not just, you know, they're going to be in the comforts of their RDS, not at the Aviva. So that's even better for their.
00:20:43
Speaker
Their sake, Ringrose, yes, Keenan and Jimmy O'Brien love the price. Go ahead. For sale. Man. Shown it not bad for his price, so okay. Tommy Taylor, meh. Hills a shit house or so, no. He ain't gonna do, like, remember.
00:21:06
Speaker
Two points of his last week came from the win. Two points of his came from playing 80 minutes and starting. And then he had five from the try. So minus those, what'd he do? Not much. Not much. As far as I can remember. And especially for him being on the higher end of the price range for second rows. Nope. If Dupree is not confirmed concussed, then OK. If he is, then I'd be OK with Ben Curry, especially if DDP is not in because someone's got to suck that up.
00:21:36
Speaker
So that's probably the guy that's going to do it. And then, um, Tiwi, no, you won't see him do that again. Not against Henshaw. Not against Robbie Henshaw. No way. All right. Off to, uh, Cardiff Bath. Um, you get Cardiff mentioned in the other pod. This is, yeah, they're, they're, um,
00:22:01
Speaker
Filling out the numbers entry, yay. Yeah, don't expect much. And Bath are a quality side, so I would honestly just stay away here. On the Bath, I'm not sold on the Type 5 yet, exactly, as far as fantasy points. I love all of them. Again, the front row could score well again.
00:22:23
Speaker
What was it two out of three scored very well in this match or for bath last week? It could be happened to two out of three again But it could be not the one you pick. So that's the only question mark Really done is the one who if you're gonna pick one of them He's the one because he'll he's the one who scores the tries
00:22:41
Speaker
Um, Barbary on out to 15, eight to 15. Yes, please. Like you should have one of them. I feel bad. I don't know why I didn't have Ollie Lawrence and I think I was getting cute. And that's why I went with, uh, thank you. Well, but that was clearly a tactical error on my part that will be rectified. I made a terrible error. All right.
00:23:07
Speaker
back here. Yeah. I'm missing whole teams. Like Cardiff don't even worry about that. Forget about it. I know it's hard to know who's going to score in that, in that whole thing, just cause of, you know, the quality around whoever it is that you might pick is not high. So you're gonna close your eyes and hope, which sucks. All right. Uh, ulcer and Ross seeing,
00:23:34
Speaker
rushing away from the carpet. So we'll see how that goes. Um, start with Ulster, uh, kids often a tool or tool over kits off only because of the price. Well, although there's not that much of a difference. Um, I like Stewart. So, and I know you didn't play score well last match, but that's okay. Henderson again, high end lock, but not necessarily going to do a ton of damage. So, um,
00:23:59
Speaker
McNabney is like the most popular picket for Ulster, which is not bad, but my favorite's still Timoni, so I'll just say that. Doak, yes, doak over freaking Cooney these days for sure. And I spoke up Hume last time, so I'm gonna give him a thumbs up in Stockdale, Stockdale, so he's okay too. For Rossing.
00:24:21
Speaker
And you Kanye went to the bench and still did okay. So he's good to go for me. We'll see if shots healthy. But, um, if he is, yes. Khaleesi had a world. He have a debut for Rossing in the champions cup. So he's a go. Um, we talk, we spoke up a lot correct. So he's going to be a thumbs up. Definitely add that K to him though, because, um, I don't know if he's going to be able to find the gaps to score two tries this week. Um, so just keep that in mind. Uh, thank you.
00:24:50
Speaker
Yes, this might be a match. He's probably more busy defensively, but that still can be worth some things. Although, actually, never mind. I take that back. His price is too high. Arendelle, I'm sure he'll come good. I know everybody's loving to have OC, but just you. Close your eyes and stardom if you have to, but you. Yeah, look elsewhere. I would.
00:25:15
Speaker
All right, on to, do we have one more? Yep, Exeter, Munster. Oh, we do. For Exeter, they're front row, Fizzalow and Wyatt. There's not really much else to see there. Fae Woboso is really too inconsistent, and I know he got hurt fairly early on, although he had some points already, but he had to come off early, which kind of is the story of his premise.
00:25:40
Speaker
Um, uh, life so far, he's right. He, he's been either quieted. Um, he's had a couple of games where he has been amazing start to finish, but there's been a lot of times where he's looked really flashy and then, um, had to leave like 20 to 30 minutes in. So, um, it's, it's. Then that's, you know, he's a young player that happens. Um, he's, he's, uh, adjusting to a new level of competition and,
00:26:07
Speaker
That's why he fantasy-wise, he's a risk. That's all. That's really where I'm going with it. It's nothing against him. I think he's going to be a great player. But until he does, has those complete games and more of them and more consistently without getting hurt, kind of park him. For Munster, Baron should score really well. He'll have a lot of tackle opportunities, Coombs as well.
00:26:28
Speaker
Nankaville could have room to operate here, potentially. It depends on how a monster plays this. If they try to throw it around a little bit, they'll find gaps. So it's really up to them. But for the most part, they'll still get this. The forwards will get their tackle opportunities, and they'll be fairly standard, easy tackles to make. But Nankaville and the back three are kind of where I would look for the backs. Not so much their interior backs.
00:26:59
Speaker
Yep. All right. Quinn's into lose. This should be tasty, but also probably some points to be had as well. Yeah. Yeah. For Quinn's, um, Marler wait and see, cause I don't love the price. That's the only reason. Um,
00:27:19
Speaker
Didn't store terribly, but again, kind of expensive, especially for when we're talking props here. Riley is a, not a bad cheap option. So yes. Um, lamb over launch brewery in terms of the locks. Dom and will Evans. Yes. Marcus is a full go and worth the price. Esther Hazen and green are thumbs ups for me as well. Um, should be interesting to see how they match up against quite the mighty team here to lose, uh, by. Yes. I'll give him, I'll give him the thumbs up.
00:27:49
Speaker
Mavaca is absolutely worth it. Flamel, yes, because he plays that position sometimes, so he's worth the look. Played him last weekend. He ended up scoring like 14, not bad. Jelonche, yep. He's probably the best guy in the back row that's not Flamel. Especially Willis is not healthy. DuPont, yeah, you're going to play him if you got him. You spent the cash on him. You're playing him.
00:28:15
Speaker
Peter Aki over LaBelle and then, yeah, Ramos, Kinghorn, and Rezzia are all thumbs ups for me, Ramos with the T. All right, and then the of the weeks. Did you get your Lester Stodd numbers in there? Oh, I did not. No. There we are. Thank you. I think we got one more. Do we? Stodd, look elsewhere. Just no.
00:28:40
Speaker
Um, I mean, unless they actually name a fucking team because they didn't name one last week. But I'm guessing, I'm guessing that they're just packing this one seriously, which sucks. It does. Um, and I feel like they did this last time they were into, which is annoying because it's like, they go to the knockouts. Well, they took like two games seriously and it was enough because that's how it was last time. So I hope, I don't know. Yeah. I mean, if they name fucking,
00:29:08
Speaker
What was the idiot that got a second yellow for swearing at Barnes? A lot to him. That's who it was. Yeah, that's still a lot to do. Yeah, they name him again, then nevermind. Anyway, right now, I'm saying look elsewhere. If they decide to show up, then we'll pretty do. We'll revisit this. Right.
00:29:28
Speaker
For the Lester side, Montojo, Visa, Pollard, and Kata are really the four that I'd be checking out. Hassel Collins, Bassett, Freddie Stewart, Riffell, Chasm, and the props are maybes. As we saw last week, Francois Vendik, Frankie, BF, or VW, whatever. Frankie, Frankie. WV, Frankie to VW.
00:29:55
Speaker
Yeah, they could score.
00:30:02
Speaker
I'm not sure I would take the gamble like again, it sometimes might work. So keep them in your thoughts. But those top four are the ones who if you're you know, if you're you're playing them, you're not doing the wrong thing. Right. All right. Oh, she dubs. Now we can do all the weeks. No, we can. Yes, we can. So, you know, you and I both go from six to twelve, twelve to six on this guy very often and
00:30:31
Speaker
Um, this form is just too good for me to ignore. And he's just got a really, I hope he plays. They may send a B team because of who they're playing, but if he does, Ollie Lawrence is absolutely a tear, especially because I think Carter farms is 3g. So there ain't going to be no mud to slip on. Oh, watch out. Um, my start of the week is, is, um,
00:31:01
Speaker
really, you don't need to be told to start him, but at the same time, this is one of those like if you have, so like I have Henry Arendelle and I'm kind of mad at him and he's also extremely expensive. And so I can potentially make the switch to this guy and I might end up doing it, but if you have something in those situations,
00:31:25
Speaker
You know, consider it. Uh, my start of the week is Damien, Penno, um, Bordeaux hosting Bristol. He will, I mean, whoever he's going up against either lane or a Betoya, I love it. Betoya is the way, the way he's bringing that attack. Um, but. And I was going to tear them up when he gets the ball. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
00:31:51
Speaker
sits. Okay. So two things went into factoring this and maybe they don't name a full noise team on the other side. So we'll see, but the travel previous performance did not do not speak well for me. And I liked the player and hopefully he bounces back, but I got just a really unfortunate, funny feeling about Anton Astoy. So I'm gonna
00:32:16
Speaker
say look elsewhere, especially for his price. Yeah. I don't think you're wrong there. That was the other factor into that one was just the price and the travel makes me really scared. I agree. Yeah. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Um, and my, my sit of the week is, uh, I mean, this goes without saying, um, and I'm not sure if he's going to be playing cause he didn't play in round one. Um,
00:32:40
Speaker
Not sure why that is. Don't really care. But even even his replacement sucks anyway. So don't play him. So whoever's playing ten for Leon, just no. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. We kind of went in this in a similar direction. Well, someone. Someone. They're both traveling.
00:33:00
Speaker
No, Leon have our host. Oh, they're hosting us. Oh, they're hosting us. Sorry. I think I've been watching too many American sports and I keep going back and forth between which one is the home and which is the way. It's fucking sounds like a you problem. It's a very much a me problem. It's like driving on the wrong side of the road after you come back from England. That's always a me problem.
00:33:23
Speaker
Come here. All right. Pick them. No change in the standings because we only had two different and we've got one right. Yeah. All right. All right. North Hampton and Tulum at the gardens. Going with sinks. Yeah, I'm going to go with the host. Bayon and Glasgow. Glasgow.
00:33:50
Speaker
Again, played very well last week. Yeah, just ran into a buzzsaw. Yeah, I just. Traveling to France is always tough, so it's going to be like a nine three game, I think so. Yeah, I'm a pick. I just think it's OK. I just think in this case, the better team will win out. I hope that's the case, but somehow, some ladies.
00:34:17
Speaker
These undersided French teams find ways to win at home, so. Fair enough. Yeah. Stormers La Rochelle. Stormers. Stormers, yeah. Back home in Western Province there. Saris Connick. Look out, Connick. If you don't have Mack Hanson, you're going to be in trouble. Saris. These boys are coming and they are going to be fucking pissed. Well, yeah. They're back against the wall kind of situation. Yep, got to have it.
00:34:45
Speaker
Gotta run it from here out. Bordeaux Bristol. I got the hosts. The same. Leon Bulls. Hosts. Yeah. I'm wondering if Jake White sends another B team, because that's what he did last year. He definitely sent the picks to slaughter, as it were. For lack of a better euphemism there. Better analogy, whatever. Leinster Sale. Leinster. Dubliners.
00:35:14
Speaker
Carve bath. Bath. Bath. Yep. Ulster and Rossing. Rossing. They're going to be pissed. I think, yeah, number one, they're going to be upset. But two, assuming they send a full noise team, I think they will find a way to just stick it up the jumper and get it done. I mean, they've got to find a way to play it in the wet because I think it's going to be wet up.
00:35:36
Speaker
at the Kingspan, maybe I'm wrong, in which case, great. Then we're gonna have some fun rugby because both teams can't attack. But I think they'll find a way to get it done either way. Sunday, Exeter, Munster. I'm not really excited either way on this one. Same. But I think Munster have the talent
00:36:03
Speaker
And same. And I think that they can play like any of the Irish provinces can play the way exit or play and be like, oh, oh, that's the way you want to play. Well, then up yours, buddy, we'll do it better than you. And I think that's kind of how that works. Oh, we're playing. I know this game. Fucking to this game. We all know this game. We can do better. We can beat you on this.
00:36:23
Speaker
And yeah, I'd have a pick and jam. Right. Jammed up your arse. Yep. All right. Uh, quins and to lose. Hosts. Yeah. I don't, that's a, that's a mask. Yeah. I'm recognizing that. That's an ask. If the quins do it, then that should signal everyone needs to pay attention. I will say that I'm going to take, but I am going to take the French one. Okay.
00:36:52
Speaker
Uh, Stodd and Lester. Lester. Yeah. I don't think Stodd lot from say they're taking this fucking competition seriously, which is sad. Sad, sad stuff. Okay. All right. Away we go. Cool. Let's do it. Let's do it. So, um, I'm gonna make sure that we get,
00:37:19
Speaker
stuff out for Friday, obviously, but I'm talking about doing the other thing too. So keep that, just keep your ears out for that. Um, but yeah, PWR stuff. Don't forget it. Other than that, um, mine, the first match start. Yeah. Mine, that mine, that's our time. Thanks for listening, everyone. Have a good one. Cheers.
