Introduction and Recent Rugby Events
00:00:10
Speaker
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 handled that. Collusion. Collusion.
00:00:27
Speaker
Hey, everybody. Welcome back. It is the fantasy. Robby Yanks podcast. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. We're in its fancy corner time. Once again, good times, great oldies. Nope, not that. Nevermind.
00:00:44
Speaker
Anyway, goddamn sorry. I started us on a great track already.
Fantasy Rugby Recap
00:00:50
Speaker
Okay, so let's just get right into it. Champions recap. So we'll start with Pacific Hurry Week, Super Hurry Week, because that's where I'm on. Bit of movement.
00:01:06
Speaker
George Stu jumped ahead of me. I did not have a good week. I had a pretty piss poor week, if I'm honest. Cobus is just running away with it, just telling everyone. Yeah. Don't know what to tell you on that one. How far ahead is he?
00:01:21
Speaker
He's 26 points ahead of Mark. Mark, yeah. So pretty good. So it's still pretty good, yeah. And then Mark's 17 points ahead of me, 17 and a half. Yeah, they're starting to separate a little bit there over the top. But long season, still could turn it around. Still plenty of time to totally bottle it or to get yourself back up there.
00:01:46
Speaker
Right now the- Duncan. Duncan. Come on, man. Yeah. Come on, dude. Pull your head out with that. It's Cobus, Mark, Ben, George, Stu, myself, Justin, and Duncan that round out the standings in division one and division two. Hold on.
00:02:04
Speaker
I think everyone's joined now. Thanks Alex. Good job. Wait, where'd you get on it? Um, Alex already doing better because Anton is not registered in a team yet. So he's going to have problems with that one. Um, I've already had the, had the big week though for division two, uh,
00:02:24
Speaker
standings and that are Barty Abbry, Franco, Paul, Luke, Alex, and then as we mentioned, Anton hasn't registered a team yet. Alex, you're already doing better. Don't worry, buddy. Yeah, you're doing okay. Could be worse.
Six Nations and Fantasy League Standings
00:02:38
Speaker
Man, let's go over to Six Nations. You know, the really annoying thing about this whole thing
00:02:46
Speaker
is I went down in our league, but I went up like everywhere else. I went up everywhere else and I dropped a spot in our league, maybe two, uh, one, the drop one spot, like what the actual fuck. I got spooned. Oh, bad. Did you move up in the, in any other rankings though? Oh, let me see. Let me see. Check out the move up in like the world or the, or the, maybe the U S at least.
00:03:16
Speaker
Um, you see, no, I dropped, I dropped two in the, in the U S so probably dropped in the world too. I had, did I, how, why was I so bad? Oh, cause I had a lot of Irish players. I kept intention to, I thought he was going to run over. I thought he was going to have a day. I mean, he was my start of the week. I thought he was going to have a day against Slade. Right.
00:03:39
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. I was wrong. McCarthy had one and a half point. Yeah, I just... Yeah, fair. Fair. One of those days. Yeah, so the biggest movement was Mark jumping up a couple of spots, then Ben tumbling down a couple as well. The standings in that are also Cobus up front. Fuck you, Cobus.
00:04:02
Speaker
George, Duncan, myself, Mark, Stu, Ben, and Justin. Justin had the best week, even though he's all the way down at the bottom, but says that anybody can have a good week, man. Right. But it's really, it's George and Cobas for one. Oh yeah, I know. I know. I am top four in the US though. Nice.
00:04:24
Speaker
I was top 10, now I'm 12. Yeah, you dropped below our old buddy Kevin. I'm still 500 in the world out of 21,000. That's, again, the quality we're here. I'm 500th in the world, but I'm 7th in our group. No hiding place. No hiding place. Okay, let's go to ... I'm struggling. Open for trades, folks.
00:04:51
Speaker
Let's go. Let's go D one for FRD. Mark. Speaking of which, did you accept my trade? What's up? It said, speaking of which, did you accept my trade? Yeah. Yeah. I want to beat you in this in the pinks. Now I clean my reward. I blame the kid anyway. Yeah. So, uh,
00:05:20
Speaker
Tobis beat Mark. I lost to Justin. What a squeaky nail wider between you and Duncan. It got wider, but yeah, still not by, like not even three points, like barely three points, like holy shit. And then a stupid George division two division two guys, you guys sent me all your teams. I don't know all of yours because it doesn't show me the, um,
00:05:48
Speaker
The who is what I can take a guess, but, um, but any, in any case, I can at least stay the team names and so tell you one, I know rebel scrums Luke, so I lost to, uh, I am player X. So, uh, lost to Luke and.
00:06:07
Speaker
Um, so we got the, I know it's Franco. So, um, check to Guru beat him though. Um, Alex one. And then, and then central Frank, I believe is Anton. So, but everybody else you're kind of, yeah, there's three of you that I don't know which ones you are. So, uh, we'll get that sorted though. It's okay. Um, check to Guru might be, might be Barty.
00:06:30
Speaker
Actually, no, I think about it. Not that important at the moment though. No. Okay. In any case.
00:06:37
Speaker
There's no PWR update because we don't have the stats yet. I will publish that as fast as possible this week, I promise. Yeah. I don't think we've even inputted the teams from everyone yet. No, that's okay. We have all the information. It'll get entered. Promise, promise. With that, we're going to do the start set thing and we're starting with Six Nations.
Player Analysis for Six Nations
00:07:02
Speaker
Starting with 16, and that's youth, because I got only the Wales game. That's me, yeah. I got Wales in Italy. So back to the scene of the crime from a couple of years ago. Hmm, what's going to happen? What's going to happen? For Wales, there's only a couple players I'm interested in remotely of the highly selected bunch. Maybe Wainwright,
00:07:23
Speaker
Thomas Williams, like Elias Daffy Beard. Get rid of him. Don't want him. Not worth the money. Not really care. Don't really care. For the Missouri.
00:07:36
Speaker
amongst the highly selected or higher selected. Fuschetti is a sit now. Lucchese, no, I'd rather have the other hooker, Nekotora. For the locks, Ruzo over Kanone and Bench Kanone for sure. Back row, my favorite back row is Kanone, Negri, Lamro, and Lamro with a sit.
00:07:59
Speaker
Um, but I don't, they haven't picked what runs out for a bit. I'm hoping they pick him this game. He's definitely still the best number eight. So I don't know why they haven't picked him yet. Uh, picked them since week one or another, unless he's been hurt in which case, nevermind. Um, uh, Paulo Garbisi, absolutely.
00:08:17
Speaker
I'm okay with either Pajarello or Alessandro Garbisi. I don't have any interest in Varney though, so just on the halfback front. Menoncello or Brex, yup. And this week I'm good with both Ioannoni and Capuzzo, although I prefer Capuzzo over Ioannoni. Yeah, I agree. All right, off to Ireland hosting Scotland. I expect there to be,
00:08:47
Speaker
Some anger on the Irish side. So for that, I'm looking at their key players. Sheehan will definitely be a factor. He was actually completely non-factor against England. Yeah. Tyke Byrne, same thing. Cameron Doris, yes.
00:09:08
Speaker
James Lowe, yes, Hugo Keenan, yes. Other than that, I'm kind of... If Ringrose is playing, yes. But I don't know if he's... I don't know what his health status is looking like. Maybe I'm just thinking of everybody saying, because if it was Ringrose instead of Henshaw.
00:09:28
Speaker
If he was healthy. So anyway, on the other side, um, still skooman is, is a must start at prop, um, in both the formats. He's, he's cheapish and good. Um, Andy Christie showed his value this past week. Keep that going. Um, Finn is, he can't take him out really. Um, cause he's probably the best scoring 10 in this competition. Um, fantasy wise, certainly. So.
00:09:54
Speaker
Yeah, he got clipped last week, but that could change too. I mean, Scotland, on the other hand, is also looking for some blood, too. They're going to be pissed at their loss. Absolutely. And then Duhan and the royal penis are must-starts. Kinghorn, that is. His royal horn. Yeah, I figured it out. Yeah. If you haven't figured it out, watch more letter to Kenny and you're welcome. The royal dong. All right.
00:10:24
Speaker
Where the hell did I just do my notes? Why did I do that? There we go. Okay.
Super Rugby Insights
00:10:28
Speaker
France, England. Here we go. All right. So obviously, uh, France and England, lots on the line for England, but France obviously don't want to lose like crunch by any means whatsoever. Um, so for Le Bleu, uh, lots of meh in this tight five thus far, this competition by we, Antonio Mavaca, Wokey, none of which I'm interested in this match. Really maybe Wokey.
00:10:54
Speaker
But, nope. Backrow, I'm extremely interested in them. Ali von Krosz and Aldritz, yes, yes, yes. Good God, I hope they keep riding Lagerach, and if he is, I'll give him a start. Fikou, as we talked about, that 13 channel tends to be a problem, and he's a much better attacker than Robbie Henshaw, so that's a definitive start for me. Penno Ramos, Billy Barry, obviously are good to go as well for the French.
00:11:21
Speaker
Uh, for England. Uh, I, there's a lot of, there's three highly selected props for England. And the only one I'm even remotely interested in is Gens. So Marla and Stewart can go by the wayside. Yup. Jinx is a yes. Atoje is a start. I still don't have a ton of faith in chess. Um, for this match. I don't care if he's in the back. Not really. Um, Earl. Yes. Underhill. No. God, I hope they are beyond this Ethan roots bullshit, but if they start him, don't play him. Um, Alex Mitchell's ago.
00:11:52
Speaker
I assume we're gonna see Marcus. Yes, if it's Ford, then meh, meh, if you have to. But man, I close my eyes and frickin' click that button if you're gonna do that. Slade to sit. Freeman and Stewart should Flying Freddy come back. Yes, Elliot Daly, fuck no. That's a fuck no for those of you keeping score at home. All right, start of the week. Yeah. Mentioned him a bunch.
00:12:23
Speaker
this past, you know, than the other pod. But to me, I really love what Tommaso Minachella is doing. And he's got a pretty sick matchup. So go with him. Yeah, I like. I like it. I love it. So I'm gonna actually go same game. And ever since keys,
00:12:47
Speaker
had the competition for the tee taken away from him. His points have been pretty good and he's got a nice matchup and his team's playing great. So I'm going to say Paulo Garbiz, he's my star of the week. That's not a bad one. Yeah. Same team, same reasons kind of thing. Yep. Instead of the week, I liked the guy, but this matchup is just poor for him in a lot of ways.
00:13:14
Speaker
And I think he's just going to get outclassed. And that's Rory Darj from Scotland. He's going to be a little bit lost out there. Christie's kind of eating his lunch as far as what, you know, an attack and a little bit in defense. And yeah, Darj needs to start upping his game a little bit in general. Yeah, he should be, he should be like. Counting things. Yeah. But I think this is a little bit of a learning experience for him still. So give him some time.
00:13:44
Speaker
Yeah. Same team. I don't like this guy, but he's way too highly picked for my taste, and I think he's going to get absolutely obliterated in this match. My set of the week is going to be Xander Fagerson. Yeah. Not bad. Although he scored a try this past week, but. If you fucking do. There's this thing called a blind squirrel and a nut. Yeah. I believe that is one of those examples.
00:14:09
Speaker
Okay. All right. Now let's go super. Oops. Um, I think I start off. I believe so. Crusader's hurricanes, um, for the Crusaders, uh, Tom Christie's scoring decently, um, but really only an FRD. I would take him, um, their number 14.
00:14:24
Speaker
as obvious. Yes. If you want to have them in your squad, go for it. I could choose not to, but that's just me. But then everyone else is a bit of a gamble. They could score. Like I have Al Mua in in at least one of our F.R.D. leagues. And it's he's pissing me off. I have the hockey. I think I have both him and the hockey and the Superbrew. And that's I got it. I haven't had a chance to make moves there. So that's that's going to happen. I did bring fluke in, but that's, you know, it's not bad.
00:14:53
Speaker
Yeah. Um, but yeah, I don't know, um, for the hurricanes, their front row. Yes. Um, you know, in, in super blue, you're looking at Elmo and Xavier Anumia. Um, as I mentioned, the Kai and you'll say, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Um, and then Naholo, um, more B and even love, um, but an FRD. Yeah. Yeah. No, he's playing, he's playing pretty well. I like him. I like him. Okay. We have.
00:15:21
Speaker
rebels and reds are not out yet. I've just been, I've been, they don't usually come out until about 10 our time, but we're time changed for us. So I was, I don't know. That's a good point. I wonder. All right. Oh, is that. They might be on it already. We'll find out.
00:15:37
Speaker
That might be on already. We lost an hour. We lost an hour, so it would be at 11. It's going to be late tonight and set up. Is that phone balls? Fuck, I can't remember how. I need to look and see how it works. Yeah, we'll fuck down. You might want to just check and see what time it is over in Auckland and call and go from that. Anyway, Rebels and Reds. Let's start with the Rebels.
00:16:02
Speaker
Tupou has been very disappointing and not worth the money. So I'm going to say sit for him for now. Although the red rebels front row has not been bad in scoring in FRD. So that's an okay play. Um, we talked about the auto. We'll see if he plays. I don't love it. Um, anybody else is kind of meh in that forward pack, like sock. I love to, it was disappointing the hell out of me right now, which really sucks. Um,
00:16:27
Speaker
Yeah. Nobody, nobody else in that, in, in the pack. Carter Gordon obviously is a, is a full, full noise go. Nobody in that's actually, this is a midfielder is really doing it with rebels. Uh, Callaway. Yes. Um, I was attacking new, if he's out there in somewhere in space and not in the centers, cause that's where he does the more majority of his damage. And yeah, no, no, no more lucky Anderson as much. Although.
00:16:55
Speaker
This average is like 10 points, so it's not terrible. It's not terrible, but. It's just not great. That's all. So I mean, if that's your third OB, you could do worse. I'll say that. I'll say that. I think that actually might be my case. Anyway, for the Reds, Zane Nongor, and yes, not Hodgman, though. Fessler, yes. Red's front row, obviously, two out of three of those being yeses makes it a good play. The back row, I love Wilson, right, per usual. Yes, yes. Tate, yep.
00:17:25
Speaker
You mentioned Fluke, yep. Oh, I don't know if Tom Lion's gonna be healthy for this game. If he is, yes, I wouldn't shy away from McLaughlin Phillips. So I'm gonna say that, but yeah. Yeah, if Lion is healthy, then go for it. Fluke, yes, like I said, Pattaya,
00:17:51
Speaker
Um, yeah. And then by some, but by some, he's highly picked, but I don't love him as a center. So new, new, pretty new, new, new. By the way, um, since we, we hadn't mentioned, I re alluded to it by the trade that I'd made in pink slips with Jared after, um, stomping him this week. Um, you had a lot of guys just not show up, unfortunately, including, um, none as a tour, but that didn't really affect the game.
00:18:17
Speaker
was I swapped front rows so I took the hurricanes from him. Hurricanes front row and I gave him the rebels front row and part of that is because the rebels match up against the reds here is poop. So sorry dude I give you a one week piece of poop.
00:18:34
Speaker
But the rebels are the second- Me, it's still come okay. Exactly. The rebels, I mean, they might only get 10 points instead of 20. Right. But the rebels have been the second highest scoring front row. The- Did not have that on my bingo board. Right. They have done a bad front row, but canes have been number one by a lot more. Yes. I was like, you know what? I'm going to go with that, and I'm sorry because I know I took your canes from you. The one piece of the canes I fucking had.
00:19:03
Speaker
Damn it. Maybe I'll suck less in pink slips and I can redeem myself. Yeah, you'll be all right. Because I left you outside backs who are actually pretty fucking good. Good ones too though, so what are we going to do? Right. Force versus Moana.
Force vs Moana Pacifica Preview
00:19:19
Speaker
For the Force, Ben Donaldson, this one, I think he's actually might have a decent game against Moana. Hamish Stewart.
00:19:28
Speaker
He got cut in one of our leagues. I think I picked him up because, please, I'll take him. He's actually scoring pretty well for the midfield. The midfield is really hard to find a good scorer. It is. Anybody that's scoring decently, hang onto him. Yeah, and I think he has at least two tries, maybe three.
00:19:44
Speaker
He's he's he's producing just as someone somebody. I don't remember who it was was saying that he's someone to watch this year, but he's kind of backing that up and then they're back three for the force because they're just going to have a lot of space because that's the way we want to like to play.
00:19:59
Speaker
Form 1 of Pacifica. Miracle Phylagia, I think, will be back this week. I saw rumblings of them looking forward to getting him out. Lotu Onisi, as I mentioned, yes. Billy Haveli, hi. Certainly an FRD. Yes, please.
00:20:15
Speaker
Who knew? Julian Sevilla. Hi. Apparently, you're a 12 now. Good. He also mixes in out at the wing as we saw on the weekend. Fina, yes. Danny Tawala, I still have faith in him. I think he's scoring pretty decently, especially with his midfielder. Wasn't bad this past week. Right. Especially as a midfielder, all things contained. Exactly. Worth it. Right.
00:20:43
Speaker
Okay. Um, we got highlanders and Brumby's. So for the highlanders, uh, I'm going to give an okay to be still shake out the rust. Henry Bell's not a bad value for a hooker right now on Subaru. So I'm going to give him a thumbs up at the moment. Um, grand, we don't have a lot of great scoring hookers. He ain't bad though. Um,
00:21:08
Speaker
somewhere in that top five-ish area. And this might be a good matchup. We'll find out. Uh, Billy Harmon's a yes for sure. Um, with the, in, um, FRD only is probably the only place I'd go assuming he's healthy. I don't think he got banged up in this match. Uh, Fakatava. Yes. Danielle Talia has been picked a lot. Um, I don't love it. He had one good game and that was his past weekend. Yeah. Um, I'm not sure this is going to be the same cup of tea here. Um,
00:21:37
Speaker
The back three, though. Absolutely. Rachima Tivuki, Niepkins, Nurekki, Tabata, Bonawa. Yes, yes, and yes.
Brumbies vs Highlanders Predictions
00:21:45
Speaker
All right. Brumbies. I like James Sliver a lot, especially scoring at a prop for our prop sake. Yup. Long again, like you and I talked about earlier when we were talking about the actual rugby pod. Yup.
00:21:58
Speaker
Probably front rows isn't scoring amazingly, but I think they had to bite a card not that long ago. So probably didn't help them. No, maybe not. Damn. Okay. Well, I think this will still be an okay matchup. Yeah. Oh, they got, so they had one bad matchup, which was the Chiefs. That's what it was. Oh yeah. So yeah, ignore that and look at the other games. They're fine. So play them. Frost.
00:22:23
Speaker
Yeah, I don't love it, but Subaru's fine. I wouldn't bother with him in FRD. Hooper, meh, Valentini, yes. Kale's a walk in FRD, so if he's in, play him. Rymer is a break glass in case of emergency in FRD only. Ryan Longan, maybe in FRD, but I would not bother with him in Subaru at all.
00:22:48
Speaker
Yeah. Icky, FRD only. Tool and write absolutely no matter the format. So go for it. I know Tool had a bad week, but man, that'll get better. Promise. Promise, promise. Chiefs versus Drua. This one's going to be a scorcher, I think. But it could be the opposite because again, Chiefs are going to be a little
00:23:12
Speaker
angry. So go with their front row, yes. Whoever's at nine, yes. The backup is also acceptable for FRD because they will score two. And then the entire back line, 10 through 15, go for it. Don't really care who they're throwing out there. The true give up space of the Chiefs will play to it.
00:23:35
Speaker
On the druist side, Waka, excellent, because especially in Superbrew where he's a lock, playing plank and putting up points. Yes. Can I kyvata? Can I kyvata? Yeah, I got it right. There you go. It was good. Frank Lamani, I love the guy. I'm glad he's coming. Coming good. Yosef Omasi, and then the back three, all of them.
00:23:56
Speaker
Um, we'll also find space because the chiefs, you know, chuck the ball around. It's going to be a kind of a similar style against each other. The chiefs have in the past been pretty solid defensively, especially against the forwards, but they're, they're showing that the backs are giving up points. Right. Okay. And then to leave off the weekend, uh, toss blues.
00:24:23
Speaker
Blues have got to be so pissed with all this traveling they've had to do. They started in a non-traditional spot with them. They went too super round, came back to New Zealand and played in Wellington. Didn't even play at home. Now they're back in fucking Australia. They've got to be so annoyed. I sure as fuck would be. That's for sure. Oh, man. Anywho, back to it. For the ties.
00:24:52
Speaker
So just bell. Yes. Um, I'm okay with by law new, not amazing, but also not a bad price. So, um, two million. He scored, he scored one good game against, and I was against the crusaders. So I mean, might not be, you know, the same crusaders and still the crusaders, uh, Todd's front row is not, I think that pretty low down though. I remember correctly. Yes, they are. So nevermind. But that job, they can't stay away from cars apparently. So pass on that.
00:25:22
Speaker
Um, I don't love any other back Gleason, maybe for FRD, their back row was kind of meh for me. It's locked. Same thing. Um, although who's this, the guy we haven't talked about a ton, but that fricking amount of Sarah guy.
00:25:43
Speaker
very Will Skelton-esque in terms of size. And very scary, but hasn't done anything in fancy, so it doesn't matter right now. Jake Gordon, yes, Tae Naebin, yes. I love Parise and the way he played last week. Back three, I think I'm okay with all three of them in FRD. Marky Mark is definitely the guy you want in Subaru though. For the Blues.
00:26:11
Speaker
No tile Val, no thank you. Eklund, yes. Blue's front row I believe has been okay. Yes. Oh yeah, yep, absolutely, averaging about 12. So give that a thumbs up.
00:26:24
Speaker
back row, Akira Popoli. It's a 2-2. Um, I like it. I like it. It's a 2-2, Akira Popoli, all three are fine, especially in FRD. Um, Christie is an FRD only, and I don't even love that. So there's that. I did almost send Akira to you for ENS, but I chose otherwise. Wouldn't have been mad, wouldn't have been mad about Akira. I like him. Parafetta. Yes. And I understand he needs the T as a, as a back three guy in Superbrew, but I'm still going to give it a thumbs up.
00:26:54
Speaker
Uh, Rico. Yup. He, he'll be back and ready to roll. Um, although he was last week, but he just kind of got balled up because the rest of his teammates got hurt. Um, and then to lay out Clark and I don't love Zahn Sullivan. So break glass in case of emergency third in FRD, but don't bother signing them up for super brew pass. All right. Of the weeks.
00:27:23
Speaker
Once more, um, my start of the week disappointed last week, but again, kind of a match up, um, this week. I like his match up a little bit better. Um, again, it's a tough team going up against New Zealand, but at the same time, um, I think he'll get a little bit more space and that will be Corey tool. Nice. Yeah. I don't trust the Highlanders defense. Yeah. I think you're right about that.
00:27:53
Speaker
So, um, I think this guy's gotten pretty hot lately and I think he's going to snack on, uh, one of the worst teams in Australia. And yeah, if his team wants to be one of the better teams in Australia, they're going to have to do this job and do it right. Uh, that he's going to be a big part of it might start that he's going to be Harry Wilson from the Reds. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's a good, that's a good call.
00:28:18
Speaker
Shouldn't be so bad sit of the week you mentioned him too and actually from that same match Because I think they're probably gonna put him back and in the centers where he doesn't belong Obviously, this is subject to change in case that doesn't happen. But I said of the week at the moment
00:28:33
Speaker
pending the lineups and all that is Filippo Delguno of the Brumbies. Oh God. Rebels. Sorry. Rebels. I was looking at the line above. So Delguno the Rebels. Yes. Yeah. Other Rebels. Yeah. I don't blame you on that one.
00:28:57
Speaker
This is going to pain me to say, maybe not pain me to say, but.
00:29:05
Speaker
I think it's going to be a real hard time for Frank Lamani to find space against the chiefs. And I hope he does. I hope he does. And yeah, there's not been a lot of great matches for nines there so far. And that's my one concern. So, um, subject to change should, you know, yeah, still not a bad, bad shout, but yeah. And I love the player, but man, I just, I got a bad feeling, a really bad feeling.
00:29:34
Speaker
That's the sad part about it, unfortunately. Okay. And then there's no, there's no PDWR this week. Nope. So we're not doing that. I started at the date and I'm like, oh, not till like May or something. Okay. Nevermind then. Yeah. Cause they're going to, they're going to take a break for a bit here and obviously women's six nations kicking off. We'll talk about that next week.
00:29:58
Speaker
Um, but well, but for now, um, we're going to pass on that stuff. Um, and there will be women, six nations leagues. Don't you worry. Don't you worry. Yup. In any case. Um, all right. Let's be at six nations. Wales, Italy, Italy. Fours, uh, Italian. Okay. Let's go. Um, Ireland, Scotland, Ireland.
Ireland vs Scotland Prediction
00:30:21
Speaker
Yeah. And I did the job and still win the championship despite not being able to win the grand slam.
00:30:27
Speaker
Yeah. Back to my grand slam is really fucking hard to do. Let me make sure everybody understands that. That's really hard to do. So I'm not shocked that they found a way to bite the bullet and lose one here. And then France England. I think England win it because I think they're going to move away. I think we're going to have Marcus starting.
00:30:50
Speaker
I think if they're playing this style, then yeah, they win it. If what they showed against Ireland is the way they play against France, France are a little depowered at the moment, then they're there for the taking. I think they showed good science when they were in Cardiff. I'm going to take the French.
00:31:10
Speaker
I mean, it's not that hard to show good signs at Cardiff, but yeah. No, it isn't. But I think, you know, talk about like get right games and stuff like that. I think that helped them. Maybe, maybe that unclog their freaking motors over there. Yeah. Super ugly. Crusaders and hurricanes.
00:31:27
Speaker
I got hurricanes because they just continue their slide. I am so hopeful for this because they don't do well in Christchurch ever. So we'll see. I'm going to, I'm picking with my heart. Yeah. Um, rebels and reds. Um, I got reds. Yeah. Same. Same force Pacifica. I got the force. Um,
00:31:55
Speaker
I think they're due for a win, and I think Moana are still finding their feet, and they're also Forcer at home. Yeah. I think the travel is going to be the bitch of it. Right. I think that's really going to be the bitch of it, and that's why. That's the only reason. If this was even like Central Australia, I might pick Moana, but that travel is not fun, going from where they're going. So yeah, I am going to take the force as well. Highlander's Rumbies? Highlander's. Yeah, I'm going to take the Highlander's as well.
00:32:25
Speaker
Chief straw cheese. Yeah. Should be a fun match. It could be angry. Yeah. Should be a fun match, but she's right. Taz blues. Blues. Same reason. They're going to be, even though they're away, they're going to be. Yeah. Caleb Clark will be back. Yeah. So too, too. We'll start again. They'll be fine. They'll be fine. All right.
00:32:51
Speaker
Okay, that's that. Starsets will be out tomorrow for Super Rugby, and then obviously Super Saturday will have either Friday, probably Friday.
