Speaker: It is. The Fantasy Robias. My name is Jared Dyke. I wanted to say it's stupid and let's move on, but then you kept going. I'm Ben Glauser. I don't like any way anybody gambled that. Collusion. Collusion.
Speaker: Hey, everybody. Welcome back. It is the fancy rugby. Thanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. Let's do this thing. It's fancy corner time. This is going to be a little bit of fun to have here. Um, we're going to do talk about champions league, this or that. And obviously it's all six nations all the time right now. Indeed. Um, let's look at six nations for
Speaker: Division one and start off the bat. We had, uh, we had Mark get off to a flyer and Justin, Justin didn't submit a team. So you got to do say you can come back from that, but don't do it again. Although six rounds and we'll see. Yeah.
Speaker: Thought to do, um, I think I missed one round and, um, super brew, super rugby. And I don't think I properly recovered ever. So then there's a lot more than that. So Justin, you might be stuck at the wooden spoon. Um, but the order right now is Mark, myself, uh, Cobus, George, Ben, Derek, Duncan, and Justin.
Speaker: It's pretty tight down and like where there's what 175 to 157. So 18 between number four and number seven. So that's. Unfortunately, we only have four that have joined for D2. Hopefully they're the rest are in super rooms. They just haven't joined the league. Right.
Speaker: Um, but it also makes me worried about whether we should run it. Yeah. Yeah. We know that this one delinquent. So hopefully we can, yeah, it makes me worried if we should run a super rugby, which sucks. Cause, um, I'd gladly host a league for those players that want to still play super rugby, FRD, but
Speaker: We don't want, I don't want to make someone go in. If that's the one league they're trying to join is the division two and there's no division. Yeah. Right. We'll have to have that conversation down the road here. Any who, uh, let's talk about, and then, uh, you know, it was a lot of fun that, uh, our new friends in our, in our chat group. Thank you, Ryan, for plugging us and giving us all the.
Speaker: All the support that he could, uh, get people to play, whether it was our super really go or in the, um, in the official game. Yeah. Really, really, really appreciate it. Just makes it more fun. You know, it's more fun.
Speaker: It certainly is. Yeah. Yeah. And like he was posting about it, like how excited he was the first day. It's like, I remember, I'm like, yes, I remember my first time playing this. Right. You pick all the players you think are going to be in and then you realize like half of them are out. It's like, whoops. Right. And we're just, we just. Yeah. More of your guys have played that day. And so other players are going to.
Speaker: you know, earn more points tomorrow or something. Yeah. You get a little, you get a little ahead of yourself sometimes. Exactly. You're like, Oh, like I remember a couple of times on, on a TRM where I'm like, Holy shit. After like, you know, not, not so much after Friday, but like the early game on Saturday, I'm like, Holy shit. I'm like three in the world. Holy shit. And then you end up like 200 because there's somebody still got like, you know, I've done this or whatever. Yeah.
Speaker: So it's good to get in that that experience early. Yeah, no, but we're still glad that we're glad that he's excited about it too. True, true. You know, makes us makes us happy. Makes us happy over here. Mm hmm. I was hanging out over in George's League anyway. All right. Hey, look at that. I'm fourth in that one. I'm never that far up on his so.
Speaker: Wait, what? Oh, sorry, I was looking at the Six Nations. Yeah, over in Superbrew, sorry. Yeah. Oh, I did terrible and official. I was very, very bad this week. I choose to ignore that week. But we never happened. We're good. Never ever happened. Not in a million years. Oh, there you are. Americans don't know anything. That's hilarious. Yeah, you know. And Mark is second. Wow, Mark.
Speaker: Stop it. Yeah, right. He's up there. He is up there. OK. Let's do some more. This or that for this week. All right. So. You still want to go by popular, you want to go by by. Scoring. Oh. Now we have points that we can kind of look at. Yeah, I kind of kind of want to go by
Speaker: Bye -bye. Hmm. Who scored? Yeah, I guess. We can go by popularity. Right. So let's go by popularity just because.
Speaker: The, the rest will creep in eventually. Um, okay. And I'll throw in some higher scores for this week and we can make it, make it interesting. All right. So for prop, are we talking about super brew or are we talking? Yep. Okay. One second. I'm going to go to super brew. Yes. Because that is where our CEL league is. Right. Okay. Good. Fair enough. Cool. So I'm looking kind of at the same list. I have a little bit of thought ahead. Yep. Um,
Speaker: So for prop, we still want to put nail Genji down as number one, right? Yeah. Cause he just gets so much work. So then that leaves number two. Um,
Speaker: So, what's that? I went with, to be honest, I went with, I did too. I had to, my three props were again, scumming and bye, but this week's a different beast though. It is. So we'll still call Gens number one. And then we got to go, we got to stick with skewing. I would, cause who knows if you think how many times has been, I'm going to start.
Speaker: Right. We started dropped and yeah, I I'd use the then that was a massive shift for him. And it was also against whales who had like had an, you know,
Speaker: overmatched pack. So he's going to store. Well, I don't know that that's going to continue going forward. So I, again, Genj and scheming are the volume carry and tackle guys. So give me them and Genj put one over. So what's to say? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, so let's consider others, um, buyer Porter. Bye. Bye. Or, um, buyer Beelan.
Speaker: Hmm. I guess that's dependent upon who you like towards the backs because then, you know, you have taking one, you know, one of you, do you need an Irish player for the backs or do you do a French player? And like I said, I went by because the backs are just too much to give up. Okay. Um, let's throw this one out there. Sinclair or Fisketi from Italy.
Speaker: Fisketty. Fisketty was, I mean, one word. Yeah. I thought, again, a volume guy. He might even be up there as my three. I might consider him by as likely as I think more likely to score a try, but Fisketty was going to leave someone on my bench because I'm probably going to end up playing Genshin Scoomin.
Speaker: Right. If the skitties going to consistently score like that, I see no reason why you can't have, have him as your number. Exactly. Yep. You know, and that might happen for me to play somewhere else, you know, right. Now I have another French back. Yay. Um, let's do. Ooh. Francis or.
Speaker: probably the other guy whoever I say. Francis or Porter? Porter. Francis or one of the Scotland props? I mean, Schumann. I mean, besides Schumann. Besides Schumann, one of the other guys. No, no. No, Francis, honestly. Because Francis might actually, like, there's always the chance he scores because
Speaker: It's like a good Welsh prop try. I flipped the coin on that. Let's go to hook. Are we putting Sheehan in as number one now? Hard not to. But I have a skin. Hard not to. Jamie, George.
Speaker: there's still the option of him doing something in the loose too. So he's there, but. Right. Yeah. No, I mean, she was far enough for actually that, that, that prop idea of throwing, um, Fischetti in there opens it up. But, you know, we're talking about that. Do you need an, um, you know, an Irish or a friend that opens up she into yes, please. Yeah. And then, uh, Martian or Owens?
Speaker: Martian. Martian or Turner? Martian. I don't really like Turner. Yeah. Oh, and it's a Turner. Turner. I mean, well, I should know. Oh, and sorry. Oh, and so I like I was being a dick about it. Oh, I'm sorry. That was disrespectful. No, you know, he's he's on my team. I was like, oh, yeah, that's my need to well play there, too. But at the same time, I don't expect six point five points out of Turner.
Speaker: That much weekly you mean? Yeah, right. Whereas Owens Yeah, I kind of expect six six points or in that range, you know, not not quite ten but Turner I think overplayed Owens. That's your floor. That's to me Second row we had Some I mean flam out was kind of buoy cuz he he got over but so was James. Yeah, right burn was probably the more
Speaker: was kind of that barometer because he didn't, I don't think he scored and still, and still put out 10 points. So that's kind of like, that's what you want out of your second row in there. Yeah. And then, and then if he scores, it's even better. That's what you want. So I right now have burned as definitively in my team. And then I have to make a decision on someone else. I don't know why I wouldn't pick Maro, but let's just throw that out in here anyway. Cause
Speaker: He is about to play Italy who he should play better against. Just the same. And Marjus didn't have his game. He didn't get the he didn't have the opportunities for turnovers. There weren't many
Speaker: line out malls. He didn't really get that. They, they, they, I thought Scotland did a good job of scheming such a way that he couldn't do what he normally does. I think that he was just couldn't get himself in the right position because Scotland was like, yeah, just don't run at him. Yeah. Right. Run away from him. And far enough that he can't just get over the ball right away too. Totally. Uh, how about let's do pretty rooser or James Ryan?
Speaker: With Bern already in, I did go with Roosa because, again, two Irish players, especially if I'm going with one of them in the front row somewhere. That's three right there. I only have three more. Yeah. That's rough. And I also have Van Der Fleek. I can't use that many Irish forwards. Yeah, I can use some of them back. Right. Roosa or Wilmsa?
Speaker: The Lumps looks like himself. It didn't quite show up on the scoreboard, though, or the fantasies for board that. Yeah, but he also he came off early. He did. Yeah, he's still a threat to go over, but yeah, I'm not really. I think that's what you're going to get mostly fantasy watch from him. OK.
Speaker: I don't think he's any point like I, you know, I would go. I would go Chasm if you're if you're not going with the Toji, I'd almost go Chasm because of the way, unless he's not planning a force, but right. He was also assuming these players are playing. Exactly. He was very much a factor in the attack, whereas I thought the lengths that just kind of took his turn when it was available to him and that, you know, that's where points are. Yeah. One of the Welsh second rows or one of the Scottish second rows.
Speaker: One of the Scottish second rows. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, Alan win at five. Yeah, that's about what I'd, I'd expect in my why bother. Yeah. I don't know if you're just going to get more than five either. You won't get to, I think you'll get more than two, but I don't think he's going to get more than five or six. Exactly. So, and I would take.
Speaker: You know, and actually all three of the, the Scotland blocks outscored both of them. So yeah, even from the bench. Great. Yeah. Outscored. All right. Back row. So are we still, we're still nailing down Vanderflair and Aldrit? Yes. No question. Okay. That leaves other, that leaves other things. Um, so once again, foul tower, Dom, right?
Speaker: I go, I mean, I go Dom Brant. Bless you. Sorry. I'll tell our tips. Assuming tips is not bad. I think tips is a little bit busier. Like I don't think.
Speaker: And you know what, I go with volatile. Yeah. He was, he was kept quiet, not that he was a ghost, but like they were focused on him and there really wasn't a whole lot of help otherwise. So exactly like he couldn't go it alone, but right. And so that kind of helped tip Rick a little bit, but because they weren't paying any attention to him. They're like, yeah, I have some meters. We don't give a shit. We're catching you and probably turning it over. Cause you've run away from your support. Cause nobody expects you to run this far. Um, definitely.
Speaker: Yeah, um, no, not that big on, you know, I'd go tip Rick is if I'm flipping the coin. Yep. Uh, Jack Morgan or tip Rick. Hmm. I mean, Morgan is everywhere. I think Jack, I think Jack Morgan because of because again, the focus is a lot on fallow towel.
Speaker: Morgan can get it done himself. So, you know, the more focused it's on Toby, the less that's going to be on Jack. And yeah, I think Jack's going to be more explosive because you're going to take away fouls at first. Like if you're going to get beat by somebody, it's going to be Morgan. Yeah, probably. Jack Morgan or Jamie Ritchie? I think I'd stick with Jack Morgan because I think if, if Mish comes back, that is going to severely
Speaker: limit Richie. Although maybe you just make that swap when it happens. Yeah, that's a possibility as well. Right. But yeah, I like Jack better. But again, that depends on where else you want to need your resources. If you can spare a Welsh player, yeah, go with Jack. But if you kind of need something from elsewhere, then Richie. Yeah, we have
Speaker: We have some, there's obviously some news out there for scum half position. James gives him park is probably going to be out for the tournament. So remove him from your team. I will. So with, with DuPont are probably nailed down as most people's first choice nine, um, then port fleet or Ben white, Ben white.
Speaker: Because Ben White will be playing, he's their guy. And he earned a try against the tough defense. I was having trouble in spurts, but he earned it. He had been doing some real serious work, even other than that, that wasn't just the try. So, no, I go Ben White. Varney or Vanport Fleet? Again, Varney, because I think he's with,
Speaker: Mitchell coming up, I'm guessing it's gonna be, Ben probably won't get the same amount of minutes. And yeah, I think Barney will get a lot more minutes and a lot more opportunity with that attack.
Speaker: Um, the import fleet or Thomas Williams or any of the last nights. Oh, that poor fleet. We get there eventually. Uh, let's go, let's go to the 10 shirt. Um,
Speaker: A lot of people pick an Intimac, but that also means that he's not your kicker. So if you're, here's the thing. If you're not going to pick a kicker, one of the kicking tens, you got to pick somebody like Ramos. Right. Which I did. I picked Ramos. I had him as well. So just kind of keep that in mind or Farrell or whatever, although Farrell's a ten. So nevermind. Yes, he is. Nevermind. I'll show up about that. Anywho. Um, so.
Speaker: Yeah. So let's maybe, maybe most people have either Ramos or maybe it's jamming it this week. Who knows? Um, guilty. It's probably got some sort of hair brain scheme going on in his head. So without the kicker, without the kicking into Matt or Finn. Hmm. Without kicking and going into Mac. Yep. Okay. Finn, Finn got a bunch of points from kicking too. You did. That, that into Mac did not get. And I think that, yeah.
Speaker: And Intimac still always a threat to score a try. So. Yeah. If Inverter scored nine, a bar is kicking. So. Right. And Intimac got 12 and a half. And I think that's about right. Yeah. Like, yeah, we saw the same thing with Sexton, which we'll get to. Yeah. Uh, Marcus or Intimac?
Speaker: Ooh, that's 50 -50. But I'd also go into Mac because I think no matter what, he'll play longer. Marcus is always a threat to come off the pitch, I think, at this point. Or he might not, but there's still that question that's opened out there as to whether they can push Faz into 10, or they take Faz out and have Marcus
Speaker: Check your finish on his own and kick. Yeah. So, right. I go into Mac without the kicking Finn or Marcus Marcus.
Speaker: All right. Um, let's shift to the traditional. And again, Ramos, though, um, I started since I started Ramos at my eyes and had him as my kicker. I, uh, I played Marcus Smith and got a lot more points because I think Sexton got only eight without the kicking. So that's another consideration there. So let's go. Let's think of kicking this case Sexton or. Okay.
Speaker: Because he'll be kicking a lot of conversions and penalties. There's a lot of kicking in Ireland's game. Because he'll be like, you know what? We've got enough tries. Let's just take this one and let's go back and see another try from the distance. With kicking, bigger or feral? Bigger. Oh, sorry. No, feral.
Speaker: I, I, I, I rescind that because bigger is not, as we saw, is not going to get me any opportunities. Right. Uh, with the kicking Tommy Allen or Finn. Oh.
Speaker: because Alan was poor off the T was, and still they had the same score I would almost go Allen because he's more of a threat to as a as a runner, and a playmaker whereas I think Finn's major country you'll get try assists from him, obviously.
Speaker: but then it's off the boot. So yeah, I think Tommy gives you more dynamic play individually. Finn had nine points off the tee this past weekend for Super Brew. Tommy Allen had. Oh, he had 12 points off the tee, yeah. Yes, he did. He had 12 off the tee. But that was against France. That's fucking tough. So it's like this is Allen arriving to this scene, not his peak. And you're seeing the peak of Finn.
Speaker: I'd almost, yeah, I'd have a hard think about Tommy. So we're going to go to center. We just still nailed down ring roses one. Yes. Okay. So that I mean, he's up there. Yeah. He's up in the top, you know, 10 or so centers as on a day where he didn't contribute as much as he could have. Right. So then that brings your second second center into question.
Speaker: Uh, people are two or Jones both Scotland centers. I'd go Jones. Cause again, two plot two is the, uh, um, there's less of the playmaker. Whereas Jones, as we saw, we'll, we'll, we'll collect the, uh, he's, he's got the, he's kind of the athleticism and, um, they work so well together, but it's going to be, um, Hugh getting the glory play. Right.
Speaker: So Hugh Jones or Joe Martian? I think I go. Yeah, I'd go Martian because I think that again, how many caps does he have? He's got 13 caps and it's been a while since he had a cap.
Speaker: So that was, and I thought he contributed really well. It's just, they were, they were just not quite enough space on there. Like you didn't quite run the right line or just a little thing that this, the game is a little bit fast for him, but he also showed that he can hit a gap. So once he figures out the timing of it and hits those how to hit the gap, you know, it's, you know, the gaps close a lot faster than they do at the prem level. So.
Speaker: Um, they do, he'll get through that second level. Eventually. It's just teens a little bit more time in the cooker. And I would bet, I would, I'd bet on him. Uh, Marsha or BQ. BQ. Yeah. Cause he did again work and in glory. He does. He does fucking all. Yeah, he does. Uh, BQ or North.
Speaker: Uh, yes. They're both on my seat. They're like, I bring Rosefico in North. So yes. Yeah. Well, this is, but you guys start one. You guys start another one. Oh, I'm starting Fico over North. Uh, North or Marchant? Uh, go, I'd go Marchant. Yeah. North or Hugh Jones. Hugh Jones. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, I just I'm not sure I'm going to trust the Welsh attack at this point. I mean, it's not that might that might be an overreaction, but. Yeah, yeah, it's going to have to be a coaching. A coaching change doesn't the fucking figures played with North how many goddamn times I know it's not a that's not that's not what's going wrong. There's something's going wrong with each of them like it's not working. Yeah.
Speaker: All right, so. Back three, this is where things get a little wild. A little bit. Things get a little wild and crazy. OK, so Panno is far and away the most popular pick right now. So he did OK. He did all right. Yeah, wasn't bad. Wasn't a bad pick, but I'm dropping him, though. I don't have him. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I'm dropping him for two on fire.
Speaker: Yeah, my only thing, the only thing about that is that fucking mad at him, Captain him, but I also didn't know he was going to do that. So exactly. I mean, I was happy enough by Captain Vanderfleer and that worked out just fine. That works usually. All right. So Pernod's in there. I'm going to call it low because I don't believe the two need to be in there. No. So let's let's. Yeah, we can we can make the selection from those two. So we'll start talking about it right now. Flying Freddy or Stuart Hogg?
Speaker: Oh, Freddie. Yeah. Uh, where was hug even? He was telling all the way down there. Yeah. Yeah, I know. And for Freddie there, oh, they were even. Holy shit. Um, I think, I think Stewart's going to get better again. There he could work. He could have worked a lot better with household columns and mail -ins, but they just haven't played enough together. Right. Yeah. It's going to be scary when him and Asselt. Um, all right. So what do you do, hon?
Speaker: Duhan. Yep. Duhan or Capuzzo? Right now Duhan because he's unstoppable. It's there's no he's, he's, he's, he's got to be. Yep. Got to be. What's so or Rio Dyer? Capuzzo. Capuzzo or Mack Hansen.
Speaker: Capuzzo, because he's more of a focal point, whereas, you know, low, even Keenan is not. Yeah, I'd take a Capuzzo because he's their first option over the second option from the back three of Ireland. Yeah. Rio Dyer or Hugo Keenan? Hmm.
Speaker: Really if I'm going with one it's dire because it's maybe it's another I can I'm on the fence with Keenan and maybe if hey that would free up adding another Ireland player in the in the forward so we were talking about right like a James Ryan right yep cool then obviously if you pick
Speaker: depending on whoever's playing Ramos or Germany, make a new kicker. Cause that's the best. That's the most value you're going to get out of them. Right. That's yeah. And that's, that is why I picked Ramos because, and it worked out just fine. He had 21 and a half. Like he had more points. Goddamn. What's up. 21 and a half off the, off the frigging. Yeah. Right. And he's that's what he's going to do. And so he had, he had more points than any fly off. Yep. Sounds about right. As a kick, as the kicker. So give me. Yeah.
Speaker: Yep. Yep. Agreed. So like easy, you know, as much as a sexton kicks, you know, Ramos had got a lot more opportunity. Didn't he put one down as well? So Ramos did put one down. Yes. Yeah. So I'll take that. Yep. Yep. He only had eight and a half off the tee. So he had like, he had, he had a ridiculous amount of points just from running. So I'll take that. Yeah. A lot of good, a lot of good looking cross kicks this week.
Speaker: The male is one was brilliantly executed. Oh, and people were saying people like that's the thing. I'm rewatching it and people were talking shit about Marcus and it's like he played fucking well. He made a few mistakes here and there, but that that play to to Max, I mean, under pressure. Yes, he got avenged, but it's under pressure on a dime to I mean. Just so it's all he has to do is fall on it.
Speaker: Literally, and he did. That's a little down by Max to just make sure that's all he's going to do. Yeah. The one to do more tier for France also was just luscious. Right. Luscious. Yeah. Well, I was learning this shit on the right now. It's great. I love it. Good. Yeah. And again, Farrell used to be the... I don't know why he went away from it, but this used to be his bread and butter. Yeah. Maybe one day we'll see him again.
Speaker: Yeah. Right. All right. Pick them when we're out of here. All right. We started hot this week. Ireland and France. Going to the Irish. They're at home. That's my only, that's my only reasoning because this is going to be a damn, this is, in my opinion, this is probably damn near a dead draw. Yeah.
Speaker: I'm going to go also, yeah, I'm going to take, no, I'm going to take France. I'm going to go with the visiting team. I think they're, again, they showed their medal and they're not going to be back down. It'll be interesting to see the two styles clashing that, you know, the physical, like that they feel the flair to that structure versus the
Speaker: pounding anger of that structure. It'll be interesting to see how that works out. I think the flare will win out in the end. Just me. Just me. Scotland and Wales up at Murrayfield. Scotland. Scotland. Yep.
Speaker: Oh, they're going to be pumped there. Yeah. That's going to be a noisy ass place. It's going to be fun to watch. And then England, Italy on Sunday, England, England. Oh, yeah. Don't, don't just, you know, and I'm not discount. Like there's nobody, nobody is discounting the Italians anywhere, at least not after that one. And plus what they've been doing previously. Exactly. It's that, um,
Speaker: England are going to be extra motivated now. They can't lose two in a row at home. Um, and they also have a significant talent advantage still over that, that, that Italy roster. So, especially when you get down to the towards the end of the match. Um, yeah, the bench subs, the, when we see, you know, Arendelle come along too.
Speaker: Yeah. It'd be fun. And Alex Mitchell, like these guys, yeah, there's going to be tempo. England are going to play 80 minute. Like I think if, if, you know, the, the drops that we saw are confirmed, um, um, what Bortho is showing intent to like the guys who were the, the, you know, holding them back a little bit, you know, just a little bit, um, who moved on from like, it was clear, you know, Ben Young's can't,
Speaker: just not international run anymore. I'm sorry. So that could have been the difference in the end. That could have meant the difference between the loss and the win. But as we talked about, we don't have the other international level experience nine to help carry them over the line because Eddie was just so hell -bent on making sure that it was one guy and one guy only. Right.
Speaker: So, right, maybe what we're trying to write that we'll see. Yeah. And again, it's the whole low key thing. You know, I consider experience experience like he made his mistakes, but he's a smart player. And when he'll get him corrected, he's young.
Speaker: Mm hmm. And I'm sure. Yeah, like England lost and made a bunch of mistakes, whereas Italy lost and was that was their best punch. So if England played with their full potential, they win. And it's also at home versus on the road for Italy's. Agreed. All right. Cool. There we are. Once again, that's good. What happened? We disagree, which means that Jarrah is probably right.
Speaker: We'll see. Yeah. Got some wrong. Jeez. Um, that's yeah. You've gotten right. So I'm not invincible by any means whatsoever. Good Lord. What's going on over here? Does that fancy Ruby podcast at gmail .com.
Speaker: I know the crap I was in DMS. We're okay with that. Oh, and Alex had a great question on the Patreons. Um, you know, we'll talk about it next week. Oh, okay. Cool. Nice. I meant to mention that earlier, but yeah, there we go. Good to know. We got there. So.
Speaker: Yeah. And I will have rankings out on Friday as well. Or maybe there's one that all the teams, all the teams are announced Friday, right? Yes. I think so. I'll have all the teams by then. All the rankings by then. Um, that we appreciate you all for listening to us and hanging out with us and listening to us babble for a wee bit.
Speaker: But we will see you all next week. Enjoy round two of super rugby and hang on to your hats, kids. This is gonna be fun. Have a good one, everyone. I mean, that Six Nations, not super rugby yet. Did I call it super rugby? Yeah. See, I definitely need to go to bed. Oh, man. That dog is running me ragged. Yeah, I've been running. The dog's killing me over here. All right. But yeah, enjoy the enjoy the second round of Six Nations. Got there eventually. Yeah. But we'll catch you all next week. Have a good one, everyone. Later.
