Introduction & Fantasy Rugby Kickoff
00:00:02
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.
00:00:27
Speaker
Hey everybody, it is the Fantasy Rugby Games. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. This Fantasy Corner time, let's get to it. One weekend ahead for all of us.
00:00:39
Speaker
Not all of us. I have to play Mark. Well, yeah, we're getting there. There's nothing fun about this. Yeah.
Champions League FRD Standings
00:00:49
Speaker
Well, let's start with the Hicks and see how Champions League FRD went for Champions Cup. Right. So Mark is right now. We have three teams at two and one, three teams at one and two.
00:01:09
Speaker
Mark, is it leading in first because he's got the most points by over by about 26 over dead ants is Alex. Stu should be a trip. Yep, you try to try to use to come in via the third two in one team. There's Carrick, myself, and Sophia.
00:01:29
Speaker
bringing up the results this weekend.
Match Highlights & High Scores
00:01:31
Speaker
The results this weekend, I actually put forth a decent effort, put up 137 to beat Sophia in her 60, although
00:01:41
Speaker
Yeah, it was going to be hard for her anyway, because some of the choices she had made, Henry Slade's red did not help her. Nope. But I had some Milani. I had Marley who had two tries. Hendrix had two tries. Yeah, I did pretty all right for myself. Yeah. I can't remember. Did Sari's front row score try? They did and had a try assist. Yeah, she only got one over. Marchant had a try assist. Yeah, I was throwing out points everywhere. So good for me.
00:02:12
Speaker
We had a really close match between Stu Yippie Tri-A, Stu and Carrick, 124.5 to 122.5. So just two points there separating them. Yeah, hard for Carrick. And then Mark with 178.7. Oh my.
00:02:33
Speaker
Oh, Alex is 83. Yeah, he's he's rolling deep with earlier. And so Elliot Daly, you know, and to lose for a row who had 22 points themselves. So Martian was a busy boy. Yeah, he he was not fucking around. Mark's team. And I can't wait to. Oh, and he has Alex Newsom who's been OK himself. Yeah, he's been clawed, although we'll see what kind of team Claremont put out this weekend. Oh, no. Very interesting.
00:03:09
Speaker
The Hicks, we go to the skids. So let's just look at the week that was first. Luke and George did battle. George has been doing all right in this one. So good for him. 136 puts up. That's a high score in this division at least in this conference.
00:03:29
Speaker
Then we had, oh, yeah, tough week for Duncan. 65 for him, Justin 104. So Justin gets the dub. Yeah, Duncan just said, oh, he had loader. That was not helpful. Not helpful at all. And Alex Mitchell didn't have a good week and- No. Aldridge was in the middle of the- Alex Mitchell hasn't been very good since I cut him. The fuck is up with that? What kind of accent did you put on that man? What's wrong with you?
00:03:59
Speaker
What is wrong with you? And then, uh, and then I, I managed to be Cobus in what was probably the second, probably the second closest match.
Standings & Draft Strategies
00:04:09
Speaker
I think. Yeah. Second closest match. Anyway, a couple, there were a couple of good ones and then there was the one I just mentioned. Yeah. I got so lucky with this one. I did not realize current wash was getting dropped and I left him in. I had a zero, but to my, to my surprise, Cobus had Henry Slade.
00:04:29
Speaker
Mmm. Santigrez. Ooh. And Fritz Lee. Ooh. All of which got negatives. Yeah. All of which got negatives. All of which had cards. So. Yeah. And then the only really big score that got me worried was Chamonix, who had 35. Mm hmm. I was like, eww. Yeah, he was excellent. And he has that to score 13 as a second row.
00:04:52
Speaker
Yeah, he's been ridiculous. Not too bad at all. Right. Yeah, but Coombs had the day he had and I was like, oh, I might have a shot here. Yeah. I might have a shot here. And I did. Ryan and I came off the bench and did well. VQ and Marshant both got decent scores for midfielders and had a decent day out of Max Maylands and of all people, Ollie Hassel Collins, who was on a really bad team. So, oops, got lucky there.
00:05:20
Speaker
Was it, was it this week? Ollie hustle Collins had that catch off his fucking calf. Yes. Yeah. Fuck. Yes. He's so good. Yeah. He's good. He's good. He's good. Anyway, the standings are, are as, uh, as of some asshole sitting on top with three, three wins and no losses, Justin and Luke are both two and one. George and Duncan are one and two and Cobus is holding up the bus, the rest of us at sitting at a donut. Uh,
00:05:51
Speaker
Dude had some bad luck, though, because he's I think he's got maybe the second most. Yeah, I think the most points scored against him. Yes, he does. But he also hasn't pulled up a lot of points either. So no, neither one of those things is great, but not although he's put up more points than Duncan. Duncan's been getting to see. Yeah, he's the low scorer for the league for both yards after this one, didn't he?
00:06:19
Speaker
I don't... Not a good case for it either way. If I'm right on that. No, I feel like this competition is a lot more about the drafts. Because there's so many players, but at the same time, it's not that deep in terms of fantasy scoring. You want the top dogs. Right. Because there's no room for inconsistency. So all the people who are getting points and points and points,
00:06:46
Speaker
you know, 20 each week, that's who you want. And don't really worry about the position and the people who did that Mark did an excellent job in his draft. So that's why he's got most points. I gave away some of the overall numbers that you want to keep your eyes on. And there's, there's some that can't, that can't be played or some that could be maybe picked up for a week or two. Yeah, exactly. So.
00:07:10
Speaker
Anyway, this week's going to be interesting because, fuck, there's going to be a lot of changes and lineups. Yeah. Once this week's over. Yeah. I mean, even this week, I'm sure we're going to see some shags out there. Yeah. So Justin will play Luke in this coming week. It'll be Cobus and George, and then I get Duncan. Okay. And yeah, and I play Mark. Stu plays Sofia, and Eric plays Alex.
00:07:39
Speaker
Right. So everybody, each of us are playing. Yeah, each of us. It's the top three versus the bottom three in each matchup. So somebody could make the. Yeah, now it's about just point scored, because if like Carrick and Sofia both, if we all lose.
00:07:59
Speaker
Right. It's whoever's gonna have the most points. Right. And right now, Carrick's only 20 points ahead of me. All to play for. Right. All to play for up there. Hilarious. Yeah, so the point, just as a reminder, points are on the line here.
00:08:20
Speaker
So, five and six are sitting on donuts in terms of points in overall CYL standings. So don't be in one of those two spots. If you're there, time to scramble. Get the hell out of there as fast as possible. Which is actually why I changed my team up majorly this coming this past week. Made some big decisions and it paid off. So I'm happy with that. I hope that we can keep that going. As Ben will attest,
00:08:49
Speaker
Um, one point in the CYL standings can make a, make a bit of a difference. So get on it. Yeah. And I just want to make sure I don't get relegated. That's my only way from the bottom, away from the bottom. The bottom is lava. All right. Uh, let's do, let's do start set.
Player Advice & Match Analysis
00:09:11
Speaker
I think, I think you have lesser sprays, right?
00:09:16
Speaker
I do. Okay. Okay. All right. So Lester three, no, Osprey's two and one, but they're only lost coming at home to Lester. So this time they're on the road. Yeah. I Lester are one of those teams where they're held. They're fucking held to play it when they're at home. They will choke you out.
00:09:38
Speaker
fantasy wise from from Lester Raffel and Visa. We've talked about in the other pod Harry Simmons, especially is out of position. If you if you're struggling for a nine, I guys the quality option. Stewart is a must start and then maybe the midfield. It's kind of they Lester don't scored all that well or haven't been scored all that well. Maybe that'll change with Pollard back. We'll see on the other side for the ospreys. Morgan Morris has been huge.
00:10:06
Speaker
And then Alex Catherton, maybe Reese Webb, if he's okay. He's still standing. Yeah. Yeah, he's done all right.
00:10:17
Speaker
Stu just yeah, not a great map like this isn't I got the shit matchups the players you Well, I got a lot of teams. You just don't want anybody from me. Listen, this is how it broke I didn't yeah, I didn't make this shit up. I did not make this shit up, right? No, no, I'm just saying that I'm not I didn't do I did a fucking hell of a job researching this and I'm like, you know what? I don't want
00:10:38
Speaker
Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew
00:11:07
Speaker
Uh, or the bulls. Yeah. Uh, I have concerns about Christmas. So I think I'm going to stay away from him for now, but car and been starting. Yes. Uh, Similani. Yep. That's a, that's a no-brainer. And currently as well. Yeah. Sweet.
00:11:31
Speaker
Off to Saints hosting La Rochelle. So Saints are on three, no chance of moving on. La Rochelle 3-0, working on points differential to jockey for position. I'm expecting Saints to pull out the shags and see this one. They're not playing for anything. There's no need to get anybody hurt for this. This isn't worth risking people. So that's where I'm seeing them.
00:11:59
Speaker
for, you know, to go in the other direction. La Rochelle, find somebody in stardom. Just throw them out there. Maybe not the locks, but yeah, don't worry about the position they play or whatever. Again, if they're going to be going against Shags, everybody's going to get a turn on this one.
00:12:23
Speaker
practice partner. Yeah. Not good. Yeah. Some of those parties your parents went to in the 70s. Something like that maybe, maybe a little bit like that. All right, we got Quinn's and shops. This will be interesting. So at least it's at the stoop. So whether might be a factor at some point here, but just the same. There's still plenty of play to pick from.
00:12:54
Speaker
for the host, um, Marcus is a no brainer. Still, still don't love the front row. I know they've done. Okay. But like in this situation, it could be, it could be, um, a nightmare. Cause I go out against a really good front row on the other side. So that's, that's my concern there. Here, as far as nine nines go. Yes. Uh, Evans was back and I know Dom got it. Dom's only thing this week was he got a card.
00:13:22
Speaker
If he doesn't get a card, he's certainly serviceable. So there's that. I think I just released him though. Yeah. Esther Hazen and Marchant thumbs up both, uh, Murley and David are the two OBS that I really, really like. Uh, I would stay away from anybody that's not those two though as well. Or. Shocks sounds like boss should be okay. Good to go this matter. They were just really trying to be cautious with him and they didn't really need him. So it worked out. Okay. Um,
00:13:52
Speaker
Jayden Hendrix, yes, Etsibeth is probably one of the few locks I would give a thumbs up and rank this week. Shocker of the day. Khaleesi's actually scored pretty well. So I think he's eating the conversation. Shatuka is a lock, I believe, as well. And he's scoring all right. Yeah, he's a lock. So he's been scoring all right as well. So there's another name I'm going to throw out there.
00:14:20
Speaker
Yep. The pimpy, if he's healthy and playing and all that shit, it's fine. Yeah. Um, and then maybe we see Fosse, Fosse back. I, he was quite useful. Less, less I checked. So if he's in there and especially if my pimp, he's not in there to take away all that. That's a possibility as well. So I liked that option as well. All right. Off to where were we, uh, Bordeaux hosting Gloucester. Whoo.
00:14:47
Speaker
Big one here. Oh, and three verse one and two. So Bordeaux could still make a quarterfinals with a bonus point win. Gloucester, a win alone, could put them through. But same time for Bordeaux, Santee Cordero, Tomboy, Tom Willis. Outside of that, I
00:15:11
Speaker
Right. Only like anybody. And on the other side, on the Gloucester side, I don't like anybody from their team right now. Like, I don't... Nobody's scoring in the Champions Cup really all that well for them, so... No.
00:15:27
Speaker
Why bother find, find another, find, find a player from somewhere else. Really? Like find a rental for one week. Yeah. You know, like just something like that. Well, I mean, you're, they're done. So find a, find a rental like they're, I think, or don't take this one. Spoiler alert. Um, but that's just what I think. Yeah. I don't know what they're going to do. Like I, I, I don't know what Gloucester are going to bring to the table here. No, me neither.
00:15:55
Speaker
Me neither because like who's gonna be there ten? It's not anybody good So that and and Louis free Sam. It's still hurt. So right? really is good, but And yeah, and we appreciate Harris as always but just not a scorer. Yeah score as we said So there's that All right, so
00:16:24
Speaker
A big one in Dublin, Leinster and Rossing. Start with the hosts. Mentioned Ross Byrne last week, probably served you well this week. So don't shy away, do it again. Leinster front row, absolutely one of the nailed on number one starters out there. Gibson Park, Hormograth, I think I'm okay with both, although I love Gibson Park, just a tiny bit more. Van Der Fleer and Dorr should both be thumbs ups. Ring rows.
00:16:52
Speaker
or Osborne, either one's fine. If we see another one out there, might be Charlie, not I, I don't know about him. Let's see. But those two are good to go. Larmor, Keenan, if Lowe's healthy, yeah, there's Jimmy O'Brien. Yeah, yeah. Just go ahead, do that. Do whatever's out there. It's okay. It should be fine. Poor Rossing.
00:17:17
Speaker
So it appears Finn might have the T now. So I'm going to give him a thumbs up now. Um, I have, I've underrate, I think I've underrated him the last few weeks. Uh, Kami Kami Kim keeps playing like that. He's a yes. Uh, uh, Gelfikou. Yep. Um, and then again, another situation of most of the back three should be good. Like.
00:17:40
Speaker
Tough nude would have been fine except for his card. Wade, Clint, maybe even something like Max Spring. That could be something to grab that your friends probably haven't yet. So keep that in mind as well. Because they need this one. So they're going to go for it. OK, then off to Stormers hosting Claremont. Stormers are 2 and 1, and it's going to be difficult for them to miss out. Claremont are 1 and 2. We need to win.
00:18:13
Speaker
Stormer's Daimani should know by now. But if you don't, and he's available in your league, get him. But he's probably going. And then you don't need me to tell you to start him. Damian Vellumce has actually been playing pretty well. Talking about the name we've been dismissive of recently, but he's had a good run. Ruinelle, aside from the drop, has been good. And Leland Zas at outside back. There you go.
00:18:42
Speaker
On the other side of Claremont, their front row. Yes. Below at 10 is maybe. Maybe. Yeah. But Irae Asimone, we've been shouting his praises for super good for a bit here. Yeah. Just a different team now. Right. Alex Newsom, Pinot, Rocca, it depends on their lineup, but whoever their back three is, go get them. So that would be my first look.
00:19:09
Speaker
Probably on Friday morning is the Claremont back three to see if it's anyone who might be available. Right. Right. Right. Okay. Now we're on to the.
00:19:28
Speaker
lame, exited and cast. So I don't, yeah, cast or another team that are, they're not quite completely out of it, but they might as well be honest. And I don't see them going for this. So really you're going to probably look mostly towards exit or players. Just to guess in that case, um, Joe, Mr. Joe Simmons, soon to be departing Joe Simmons. Uh, yes. Uh, Sam. Yes. She ends up. Yeah.
00:19:59
Speaker
Slays free to play. Yes. Yes. Yep. So he's ago. And what burning hot. Those are those are my favorite ones over there. And again, like I said, Cass, just if you're playing a player from Cass, I, you're wrong. You already messed up. Messed up a while ago. Sorry. Redo it handed in again. Wrong.
00:20:28
Speaker
Now we got two. Oh, Ulster hosting sale. Another battle the Titans. Oh, and three versus one and two, but both can move on with a win. Um, for Ulster, but it's still sale, even though, you know, they're on the road and, and, but again,
00:20:47
Speaker
They, you know, this is a team that they should be able to beat on the road. This is a team that they should kind of just shut down, just like they didn't week in round one. That was, didn't matter where that game was played. Not going well for Ulster. I've kind of seen it the same way. So really I'm only looking at Michael Lowry and maybe John Cooney. I don't see many other players on that Ulster team that are, you know, flipping up my skirt much.
00:21:12
Speaker
Um, on the other side for sale, their front row, cause they keep scoring tries. Um, they're available in the Hicks division. I'm not sure why nobody has them. Um, cause that's, that's solid points each week. And then Rob Dupree and then maybe the back three, depending on the lineup, but I'm not really a big fan of, of the, the other Dupree. He's the one Dupree. I wouldn't stop. I wouldn't have a problem starting this week. Um, so that's saying a lot. Yeah. Big alarm there. Yeah.
00:21:43
Speaker
big ones. But yeah, that back three should should do. Okay. Sure. Well, I'm up failure and exiles are completely out of this as well. But there's still some concern there. Yeah, they're not good. Yeah, they've, they've not been good. And now they're traveling to France. And it's not South Africa. But the last time they traveled was not great either. So
00:22:10
Speaker
No, they haven't played well away from home
Game Insights & Player Performance
00:22:12
Speaker
this year. So, no, no. So, uh, for, let's start with the hosts. Well, probably, uh, carbonyl, I hope has a better match. I'm sure you'd hope that as well. Um, their front goes fairly solid. So I'm okay with that. Uh, if Ryan X back at nine, yes. Uh, the young kid, maybe, but.
00:22:35
Speaker
Yeah. Cause he's, he's, he might be kicking. He might be kicking. That's the thing. Like I don't think what happened last week is going to happen again. Um, he may not get the T again. So there's that, uh, Paul Vombs. Uh, I know it's a couple of tries, but still like he is well-class number, uh, lock. So if you're hot up for a lock, that's a good one to grab Mercer. Yes. Uh, do, do, do, do.
00:23:02
Speaker
Dumas Ru, or Diamond scored against these guys last time, didn't he? Yeah, she did. I think he scored twice. So there's that one as well. Dumas Ru, maybe. I know midfield can be tough sometimes, so that's a possibility as well. And then, yeah, Houti is probably my favorite of the back three, but...
00:23:27
Speaker
Yeah, I think bridge is banged up and yeah closing in day by so Yeah, don't don't love you the one at the moment, but those might be options might be options. Yeah for the exiles I Don't know what the laps gonna look like. I'm guessing it's gonna be a change in which case Yeah, you're probably not gonna love any option. That's in there. Maybe we find a new Favorite, you know in which case awesome
00:23:54
Speaker
I don't know if that's going to be this weekend though, so just keep your eyes peeled on that. Back row is probably one place to go find somebody, possibly, and the back three. After that, all bets are off. All bets are off. All right, then I got last one to lose hosting Munster.
00:24:14
Speaker
Uh, who's three and O jacking for position monster two and one, and probably need at least a bonus point to just to be relatively safe for quarterfinals. So it could be a fun one, um, to lose their front row, Mayafu, uh, DuPont and Temak and then, you know, LaBelle Ramos, I mean, I just go down the lineup. Yeah. You probably want to play them. There's a few in there on the monster side. Um, burn, um, maybe.
00:24:42
Speaker
Uh, carberry and Haley in the backs. And that's about it. Even if they'll, if monster are going for it, I'm not sure what they're going to be bringing to the table. Really outside of those three. Coons. Coons. Sorry. Yes. Thank you. I just, I'm sure I had him written down and there was a coon somewhere in here and he's not there anymore. So I, wait a minute. He got deleted somehow. I have him drinking.
00:25:09
Speaker
Everyone knows when you feel like you wrote something down either on the computer or on your paper, you're like, where the fuck to go? Right. It's there. It's fucking there. Lying screen. Uh, everyone's Harrison. So both teams will kind of know where they stand at this point as well. So I assume that that's going to bring both to go for it pretty hard. So it should be a fun match to end pool play with with that. Let's talk about.
00:25:38
Speaker
Who, what, when, where, uh, for Edinburgh, uh, maybe the front row, if you're really like, if, if the other front rows like end up just bottling it and or mailing it, mailing in their lineups, then that's a possibility in a pinch. Bellicott. Yep.
00:25:55
Speaker
I like the way he plays, so he's a possibility. Skinner usually scores well when he plays. He didn't this past weekend, but he usually does. So that's also what he ends up playing at six. Yes. Yeah, that's true. Although, yeah, I signed him this past weekend was kind of disappointed and I've already cut him. So yeah, that's the I'm sure that was a red over. Yeah. Mata and Richie. Yes. To to to midfield. Yeah, Bennett, maybe.
00:26:22
Speaker
I know people are loving him. Uh, back three, King horn. Yes. Uh, but Felly, if he's healthy, yes. And then you got dropped from this one. And then when I'm over, if he's healthy, but I don't think he's going to be healthy. And Houston, our old friend, there was a possibility if he's out there, every gets thrown out there as well for the series.
00:26:50
Speaker
Uh, your, your tent, you don't have an actual fly half by designation to pick from. So, um, it's probably going to be good. So if you have him, that's his go. Cause he's kicking series for row. Yes. Um, maybe Vince sale.
00:27:06
Speaker
uh i wasn't scored well so far so i'm not going to give recommend him right now no although i did just pick him up i dropped i picked up him in favor he did get 11 this past week did he okay how about that and oh because he stole a bunch of layouts that's why that is one stat category that locks can benefit from his stolen items yeah anyway um earl yes billy yes mmm christy and a pinch if you need to
00:27:29
Speaker
Daily Tommo, yes. I don't think Lozowski is getting an intercept try again, so you can pass on him. Right. Maitland, yes. And, you know, Maitland actually hasn't scored that badly for the most part. So if you're like, if you get yourself into a bind with like a late drop from an OB, you could do worse. Yeah. So you're Lewington, honestly. But I think I like Maitland in this competition in particular, just a tiny bit better.
00:28:01
Speaker
Okay, to the O.T. Dubs. O.T. Dubs. So I think both of mine were from your matches. Yeah, because my batch is all kind of low ass. This guy's been scoring and I think he was available. Yeah, I picked him up. So I picked him up for Dom Brant because I was like, oh, he's there. Yes, I'm going to, again, I've
00:28:26
Speaker
In solid with it, I backed my my words with actions. So I picked up Arnaud Bufa and he's my because he's my start of the week. I can't I can't let him be sitting there on the waiver wire. Yeah. You know, he had a good one against the Bulls last time and now he's home. Right. So he's he's starting. He scored against these word against Saris pretty well. He did. He had to get 19 points in 58 minutes against that. And you don't do that as a loose forward against Saracens. They eat you for breakfast. But he
00:28:56
Speaker
I hit himself a hell of a match. Yeah. Uh, my style of the week's Josh Manderflair. Well, yeah, that's correct. I'm just going to go for the middle of the post gaming right here. Gigi, I already take the real risk of that one. I hadn't picked him yet. I was like, it's fine.
00:29:24
Speaker
Hey, yeah. Listen, my last one worked out fucking terribly. I was asked. No, this is a yeah. They got pissed on rain all over the place. So. Right. Right. And this is a card. He did OK. So yes. Yeah. Card did well. Yeah.
00:29:39
Speaker
He got then he got five point six for me. That's not sort of the weekend. It was it shows you how much I know he did not that's disappointing All right sit of the week It's teams bitch been shutting shit down and I think that'll continue this week and even though they you know, they was week round one was Pretty decent, but I just don't think I would not be trusting Blair King horn this week. That's wrong with us
00:30:08
Speaker
against Saracens. I think if Buffalo is back healthy and has the tea that puts King Martin in bad news. Yeah. Yeah. Right now, his only shot his only real bonus is the is the tea for now. But. Even that, I'm not sure it's going to be because we talked about how how great a job the Fletcher Smith did. He got, I think, less than 10 points. Right. So it's not just, you know, the
00:30:40
Speaker
It's not just a cake. It's not just, you know, how well did he play? It's, uh, I don't know. I'm not outside back. Yeah. Fletcher Smith had eight points. So not. Yeah. And he didn't get just four conversions kicked. So yeah, that was that was the other than that. He had zero points. Okay. Yep. That hurts. Yeah.
00:31:09
Speaker
All right. Uh, my guy is also Irish. I think it's gonna, it's just gonna be tough sledding for him, uh, going away from home. And, uh, I love the player and I love the team. I love the way they've been playing, but something about this weekend for Joey Carvey does not sit well with me. And I'm very terrified for any way that's got him.
00:31:27
Speaker
Hey, Hey, Hey, sorry, buddy. Sorry. Um, I listen, this is, this is the reverse text though. Like we know this is what happens like nine times at 10. I'm adding Louis carbonyl right now. I go soon to the week on someone and they go for like 20. So yeah, this is true. This is how it goes. You know, you saw how well my start of the week did last week. Yeah.
00:31:51
Speaker
So this week it's going to be the city of the week that just completely slaps me in the face. That's the way it's going to go. Watch. That goes a lot. I hope so. All right. Let's do the pick of them. All right. Let's do that. Lester and Ostrich. Lester. Lester. Leon and Bulls. Bulls. Bulls.
00:32:18
Speaker
They got a chance to do some serious stuff here. I think they'll smell it and do it and get the job done. Northampton, La Rochelle. La Rochelle. Oh, oh, that one. Yeah, La Rochelle. Quinn's and Schott's. I'm assuming Pimpi's not playing, so I'm going with Quinn's. Yep, I'm going with Quinn's. Yeah, you don't get excited and get away. Wardo and Gloucester.
00:32:49
Speaker
Bordeaux. Yeah. I'm taking the host as well. And that's pretty much what does it for me right there, which is sad, but this is what it is. Uh-huh. Uh, Linster nursing. Stormers of Claremont. Stormers. Yeah. Exeter and Cass. Exeter. You have no team next year. Yeah. No shit. Uh, Ulster sale. Ulster. Sale. Yeah. All right.
00:33:19
Speaker
because this is the first, they did not get a home game beforehand. Remember that. So I think tanks, man rocks. And I think they do it and given a slap in the face of some of those, I just think, I don't know. I feel like sailor, the better team. They probably are. And I feel like when they're the better team, it's going to take.
00:33:39
Speaker
I don't I don't think just in a way stadium is going to be enough to rock them there. Remember, they're dicks. I know. I know. I know. And I'm saying that with with respect that it doesn't matter. Fuck you. We're going to win. We're just going to do our thing. You want to do us? You want to, you know, make all this noise at us? Fine. Whatever. We're going to just do our thing. And they may. All right. Montpellier and London Irish. Montpellier. Montpellier.
00:34:07
Speaker
to lose monster, to lose, to lose, to win. And adversaries, series. They'll figure it out. Even if it's just four points, it's ugly shit. They'll figure it out. As long as McCall doesn't get in the way. Get the fuck out of the way, coach. Cool. All right. I'm either getting it, gaining a two game back on you or you're bringing it back. So, all right. Let's look at this. Or somewhere in between.
00:34:35
Speaker
Hmm. Well, no, it was only one game. Oh, it was just the one. Okay. Just the one difference. You, you were last week, you were actually damn near perfect. You were the Osprey's mobility game away from being perfect. Ah, nice. Good for me. All right.
