Introduction and Welcome
00:00:03
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.
00:00:28
Speaker
Hey everybody. Welcome back. It is the fancy rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. It's fancy time. Let's get into it. Let's dive right in.
Championship Standings Update
00:00:37
Speaker
We are looking at champion actually recaps real quick. Um, let's go super ugly since I have it right up here. Uh, not a ton of movement.
00:00:53
Speaker
Really? Is there? Nope, there isn't. There's literally no movement. Zero movement. Mark with the yellow cap, George with the wooden spoon. Oh, George, what the hell, man?
00:01:04
Speaker
Um, any, in any case, Cobus, Mark, Ben, Stu, George, myself, Duncan, and Justin make that one happen. Division two. Um, yeah, no, no movement really. It's Paul Franco, Abbry, Barty, Luke, and Alex with Anton bringing up the Rio because he just refuses to play apparently. Oh well. Your loss.
00:01:32
Speaker
Big thing is, though, at least for...
00:01:36
Speaker
Division one is that Mark and I, I finished second in the, um, on the week. So we're, we're, we're slowly inch in our way towards, towards Cobus, making a little bit tighter up there. Yeah. It's getting tight. The in-prem division one had a little bit of movement here and there. Ben dropped a spot and switched places with Stu and Mark and Justin swap places at the bottom. So, uh, again, Cobus, George bringing pulling up second, Stu, Ben, myself.
Division Insights and Performances
00:02:06
Speaker
Duncan with a wooden spoon on the weekend yuck mark and Justin division two Yeah, I had a bad day had a bad week. Yeah division two has int on Alex Alex with the L cap on the weekend Paul Abbrey Franco Luke and Barty and the big the big movement was Abbrey and Franco swapping places Franco at the wooden spoon that one unfortunately
Fantasy Rugby Draft Recap
00:02:34
Speaker
Sorry, dude. Sorry, not sorry. In any case, let's go to FRD recap for Super Ruby division one. Also, I could not believe I finally won pink, so I was like, holy shit. Wow. Nicely done. Yeah. Anyway, it's
00:03:00
Speaker
Uh, Luke beat Ben rather handily at that. Uh, I was able to beat Cobus George just smashed Mark 178 fucking points. Jesus. And then Duncan beat Justin. Big one for them. Big week in that competition.
Upcoming Match Previews
00:03:18
Speaker
Ben and I are playing each other. Yikes. Yep.
00:03:26
Speaker
Division two to do match ups here. We had a big one. Alex lost to Mr. Rugby, which I'm not sure which one that is. I'm pretty sure Paul is one runner, so he beat, he beat Luke and then
00:03:54
Speaker
Uh, it's on one and then player X lost to Franco to do so getting to the pointy end of that one too. So if you ain't winning yet, time to win times a wasting.
00:04:13
Speaker
Time to waste in. We will be back to PWR next week as well. They return. Yeah, when they get back. It's weird that they actually have about, they planned in on buffer week. Shocking. Yeah. Nice for everyone. Yeah. I know. I'm excited. That's, I think, the right thing to do.
00:04:37
Speaker
Yeah, give them some time off and those that had those that played the entire six nations, especially right like a week off.
League Structure and Updates
00:04:44
Speaker
Exactly. And then a lot of them did so. Yeah. Division one table update before we get into start sits. The. Leaders right now are Justin and myself.
00:05:01
Speaker
And then bringing up those that are getting the second in our Mark and Cobus right now with, um, George and Duncan are both right there. So it's a, it's not done deal yet. Not done yet. Yeah. How many, how many weeks do we have in that one? Just double checking. Cause my brain's fucking all over the place right now. Let me see.
00:05:32
Speaker
We have, I think we have 12 and we're on week. I think there's 12 weeks in this comp. So we are, and we're on week 11. We were regular season for, for the party for FRD. So, oh, interesting. Again. Yeah. Fucking get one in. Yep. Yeah. Cause it's, yeah, that actually does make sense. Cause there's,
00:05:59
Speaker
Cause we do two weeks because we got two weeks, these two weeks. And then there's two semi-final weeks because it's a, it's an aggregate score and then the final. Yep. So yeah, totally. And that actually makes sense. Damn. We getting there kids. We getting there.
Match Analysis and Recommendations
00:06:15
Speaker
Okay. It's big weekend. Champions cup.
00:06:23
Speaker
Champion's got fancy, we're talking, and two, a big old two matches.
00:06:30
Speaker
Let's turn Northampton to Lewis and Quinn's. I believe you have, let's turn Northampton, right? I do. Okay. Off you go. Off I go. So now you have, hold on, what's the team limits eight? Yep. And you get eight free transfers. So should be able to field quite the decent team as well. Make sure you're working in your
00:06:53
Speaker
Your salary cap really is what's going to limit you. And so on your, your stills where you can for a Leinster.
00:07:04
Speaker
the basically that front row Porter for a long sheen should be scoring pretty decently Baird because I think he's near I see a locker seal. He's a lock playing six more often than not. So helpful there. Morris really is the the flatter that I would go with James Gibson Park.
00:07:28
Speaker
should be on your own. Obviously, there's another Scrum and a half you could have on your team. But if you don't have him, you should have him. You should have him. Yeah. And then James Lowe, really, I think, is the one consistent scorer in the outside backs. But of course, it doesn't help when others are just dropping right before the game.
00:07:47
Speaker
For the Saints, if you want to go a little bit cheaper, Curtis Langdon, what's he sitting at a second? He's three million, so you know, Sheehan's five, so if you want to go a little bit cheaper in this case, I would go Langdon, especially if he's starting, but I would assume he will because he's just been playing
00:08:07
Speaker
lights out, especially in this competition. Alex Kohl's definitely at the lock position has been a stud and he's only two million, so very cheap. Yep, got him. And oddly enough, Courtney Laws has been, he's the third highest scoring
00:08:26
Speaker
Loose forward and he's hit his lowest points were 13 and a half. Everything else has been higher. So certainly someone to look for here.
00:08:39
Speaker
And then Alex Mitchell, again, another potentially, is he cheaper? He's 5 million. He's not exactly cheaper. He's actually more expensive than Gibson Park. So good player, maybe not worth that. Finn Smith is a potential goldmine if Northampton, which is possible. That's the thing here. Leinster are not invulnerable.
00:09:02
Speaker
Um, no. So, so Smith could have a big day. He's been quite good. Um, in every competition. And then obviously Ollie slight home and Tommy Freeman are, um, I think you almost have to have them on your squad, at least one of them, if not both. Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:20
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes. All right. And that leaves us to Toulouse and Quinn. So we'll start with the guys, the guys hosting Toulouse up and up front, Bayh and Netty. Netty over Bayh because he's a little cheaper on a point and on a point to four game faces is doing about the same type of damage. So that's okay. If you're not going Sheehan or Langton, you're probably going Malacca.
00:09:49
Speaker
Right. That's the, that's the likeliest story in terms of hooker. The likely story. The likely story. Mayafu or Flemont in the second row, I like Ruchiano not so much, especially since he's more expensive than Mayafu. Mayafu has been the better of the three. So that's my, that's my preference as well.
00:10:09
Speaker
Most of the back row is on, um, Ruma, Willis, Jill, John just heard, heard, I know, but like for the most part, like that is all on, especially Ruma and Willis. Like, yep, that's a, that's a full send for me. Some fellow named Anton DuPont don't know who he is, but I guess he's okay to play. Uh, I think he's more of a sevens player.
00:10:35
Speaker
Maybe, maybe, uh, if Intermark looks like he did against Exeter, then he's definitely going to be worth a, worth a play. And then you can meet, and then you could probably couple that with Ramos, who we'll talk about in a second. He is expensive though. So, you know, if you need a cheaper option that, that ain't it.
00:10:52
Speaker
and setting it, but you're going to pay it the 10 spot anyway likely. So there's that. LaBelle has been playing on the wing. So he's a, he's a go. Borasi is good as long as he's healthy. I thought he came off.
00:11:05
Speaker
heard at one point in another game. So also possibility. And I do like Peter Ocky as well. So all three are goes for me. Should you choose to elect to pick them Ramos or Kinghorn either one you they need the T as well. Yeah. And that's the problem. It's probably it's probably like you should less need. Yeah. The problem there is that they might replace each other.
00:11:29
Speaker
Yep. That's probably how it would go. So you're kind of fucked with those. So that's my only concern there. Anyway, sorry. Continue. Juan Cruz, Malia.
00:11:42
Speaker
For 8 million, China is not amazing, but also I won't begrudge you that. My preference is to look elsewhere, but if you've picked him and you've kind of ran out of transfers otherwise, then yes, play him. Don't be stupid. He's still fine. He's still a good player. For the Queens, let's see. Shifting back to up front.
00:12:06
Speaker
Not a whole lot there that I love, so never mind. Like, even Will Collier, who actually doesn't do terribly usually, is not even someone I would adventure into, so forget that. Hooker, again, not something I would adventure into. I don't love Jack Walker. I think it's going to go well for you.
00:12:23
Speaker
And Langdon, if you're going, if you really want to cheap out Langdon, it's just one million more. Langdon's way better. Langdon's the way better option. And even- Skip over the second rows. Yeah. Skip over the second rows and then go right to Dom and Will Evans. Those are your two back rows that you're going to take from Quinn's. So that's that. What do you think of Cunningham South?
00:12:45
Speaker
I don't think he's going to do enough. He doesn't want to live on this comp either. I mean, even though like in his starts, because he wasn't a bagged on starter, but. No. I don't trust either half back in this. I know they both have had decent games in recent, remembering in this competition, especially Will Porter, obviously having the double that he had against.
00:13:07
Speaker
Bordeaux, I just don't trust it. The sources since DuPont is actually a decent defender on top of that. Marcus, if you've picked him, you're playing him, without a doubt. And then midfield, Esther Hazen is probably the only guy that I want. After this weekend, I like Northmore, but I just don't know if he's ready for this, that being kind of my concern.
00:13:30
Speaker
And then back three, you can probably play it all for you. You're not going to push Beard? Fuck no. In the back three, I'm... Well, actually, Beard's List says no outside back, so it's the worst news on that. Oh, ew. Yeah, exactly. Green and Murley are my preferred of the back three, although if you really want to spend $7 million on Lynah, then you spent $7 million over Green, which is $4 million, which is weird for me. But if you've done it, you've done it, so play them.
00:14:03
Speaker
We're doing OT dubs. All right. To be fair, everything's on the table because we are limited with options in terms of who we're going to pick. So that's all that's going to be. So my start of the week, you mentioned him. He's out of position. He's a center who plays in the outside backs. And I think this might be the best matchup of all of them. So Matisse Labelle is my my start of the week.
00:14:30
Speaker
Right. So funny enough, you mentioned mine, again, playing out of position. And I think you'll have an immense day playing out of the walk, playing in the back row. So my shot is going to be Ryan Baird from Munster.
00:14:45
Speaker
Yeah, I'm just nervous because that Saints defense is no joke, and I think that defense might travel, so. I think it's more about considering wedlock score as opposed to what back row score, and especially since Baird's like, Baird's not a lock. He can play a lock, but he's probably more of a six, so that being more the, just the opportunity to grab
00:15:09
Speaker
cheat points basically like what's his butt for Munster was the same way or earn. Same idea. Although he did play second row at some point too, but he just looked great either way. He didn't look like he bought in second row. He definitely should have been playing back row.
00:15:27
Speaker
Um, just like, uh, Flemont should be playing fly half. Um, my, my sit of the week, I did not mention him, even though, uh, he was from my game and he's been disappointing. So if you have him on your team, you know what I'm talking about. Although he is one of the higher scoring.
00:15:44
Speaker
Um, flankers, but I think that's just now at this point, cause he's been playing more games than others. Um, so I'm, I'm still sitting, he's only got two games above, um, above, above over 10 points. So, and again, with this defense, I just not seeing it with, with Josh Vanderfleer. So I'm, yeah, that's, oh man, it's hard, but like you have to spend your, spend your, your cash money elsewhere.
00:16:12
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I agree. I agree. So, um, I run oddly enough, it is my sit is also from the same game that I picked from before. It's actually from the same team and they're not super highly picked, but at the same time, like I feel like they're going to be a popular pick this weekend, no matter who gets put in there. But.
00:16:33
Speaker
Whoever's wearing that 12 shirt for Wednesday, whether it's Henshaw or Frowley or whoever, I don't like it at all, at all. So I'm going to call that my state of the week for this week. Let's go to the supers.
00:16:52
Speaker
So, oh wait, Peter went dead. There we go. All right. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up, damn it. Wake up, damn you. I sent that take to my sister, to my great aunt. That's what it was. Hurricanes hosting the Waratahs. Well, the canes,
00:17:21
Speaker
This is very much a potential get right game and they're gonna be salty, potentially. So I'm looking all through that team. Delaney and walk a layer weary have been money at the lock position. So I'm certainly an FRD if one of them is available. Don't hesitate on that. And then if you got the
00:17:46
Speaker
the spot for them, slot one of them in. Either Lakai or Yosei in the flankers. Again, certainly for Superproof, flip a coin there, grab one of them, please. Honestly, Cameron might do well here, which is weird to say, certainly after last week.
00:18:15
Speaker
I think could have a strong, strong match in this one. Again, get right game. He'll, he'll have a tee, a lot of points there. Um, and again, a cheap option, but more of really for FRD there. Um, and Josh Morby, um, I think he's, he's one of those guys you can't, you certainly can overlook in super brew, um, fairly cheap on the outside backs and, um, racking up some points and, uh, love as well.
Team Strategies and Player Performances
00:18:41
Speaker
Um, for the water ties, um,
00:18:44
Speaker
Gleason, maybe Gordon, maybe certain, like again, FRD. And then the rest of the backs are FRD only. I'd really look for the ties for FRD only where you're, you're scrambling. I would not look to them, um, away to this hurricanes, this, this pissed off hurricanes team, um, in super brew would look elsewhere. Right. Right. All right. Uh, rebels blues.
00:19:12
Speaker
Pretty sure about that one. Anyway. Yes. That would be the yes. That was it. That was the next one. Okay. For the Rebels. We are going to skip right over the whole front row. If you need to play that front row in FRD, Godspeed. Sorry. That's not going to be fun. Yeah. I apologize for you. Sorry about your loss. Yeah, right.
00:19:33
Speaker
Uh, Angela Smith, I kind of like in Subaru, but you know, definitely FRD though. Uh, not bad. Kenny is the only guy I'm interested in all formats. Um, for the back row layout or maybe, but he's been mostly ineffective as a number eight. So I don't love it. Uh, Lauren's FRD only again. Um, Gordon in both though, it may not be fun. Although I mean, at least their home to the upside.
00:20:04
Speaker
No, man. Plus, you go for a run. You never, you know, have that one.
00:20:10
Speaker
Yeah. Want nothing to do with the midfield. If you're playing either one of them in FRD, my apologies. And then the back three are all actually goes. Lancaster, Callaway, Dagenu. Good to see Dagenu back in the place he belongs. Right. And he has been scoring pretty well. Yeah. Yeah. And although last week being the exception, but nobody scored well in the Rebels that week. For the Blues.
00:20:35
Speaker
To Uncle Fosse, yes. And then you're going to obviously look at the front row as a yes. Ricky Rictelli is... I think he's okay. He's actually more expensive than Eklund, which is kind of confusing to me. But okay, if you got to, you're fine.
00:20:51
Speaker
In any case, the front row is a full go. So that, that does help that case. Tupelo two in the lock department, absolutely. And then it's a two, two properly. And if you're a two, two and properly in Subaru in both formats, obviously. Segener in FRD, if you're desperate, but I think it actually won't turn out that desperate because he's been okay. Funaki actually in both formats at 2 million as well. And super brew. Hell yeah. Sign me up.
00:21:19
Speaker
And then we have Plumber. He's still rocking that 10 shirt. So that's okay in both formats as well, though I definitely would prefer him an FRD over Superbrew. There's better options there.
00:21:32
Speaker
Um, midfield. So you want to use the only legit midfielder listed in, um, Subaru and actually both cause AJ lambs and outside back. So, which means you're going to avoid AJ lamb. Cause that culture can be a little bit bleh for the most part. Um, play and Clark, both formats, Forbes and FRD only there, there I said it.
00:22:00
Speaker
Okay. Moana hosting the Highlanders. Los Muinisi in either format, tearing it up. And then for the FRD only, for Moana, Tomatene, Finne, Nissi, Sevilla, Finne, and Willy Haveli. On the other side for the Highlanders, they're entirely FRD only. Harmon, Fakataba, Miller.
00:22:23
Speaker
Talea, Garden Batch Up, Tabatavenawai, and Rachumaitabuki Niepkins is, again, cheaper option. He's a guy I like to stash on my bench just in case someone drops. For Superbrew, you mean? For Superbrew, yeah. But again, you're not starting him, except in FRD. Yeah, you should probably not. I wouldn't. Would not.
00:22:54
Speaker
All right, Crusaders. Which Crusaders team is going to show up? Fun times. Which Red team is going to show up? Also that. Want nothing to do with the props. Okay, if...
00:23:13
Speaker
Macalester. I don't know. Actually, I don't love Macalester. Never mind. I withdraw that last week was kind of an anomaly, I think. I like George Bell better. So the fact that he's on the benches makes me meh. Christopher Rose. OK, though, I'm not going to shy away from that right now. Walks, you're always going to play. Big fellow Barrett. Don't don't get tempted by Quentin Strange. I wouldn't play him need to format. No. The back row is just like desperation, really. Leo Willi.
00:23:42
Speaker
Maybe I like black header as a player, but like what happened last week again will not happen again. So kind of dismissed that telling grace is the only one that's actually had multiple games of like 10 plus. So maybe that's a guy in Subaru and probably a guy in FRD, but like, that's it. Um, half backs want nothing to do with, unless, unless his name, I saw them. That's it.
00:24:10
Speaker
And then, yeah, what the fuck are they doing with fucking HoHippa? I don't get it. Like, I don't know, they wouldn't have really, sorry. My fault.
00:24:22
Speaker
in my fat mouth. So that actually makes really a really good start in FRD. That's now withdraw my previous statement. Umu has gotten a little bit better. So still FRD only territory for now, but he's, his last two games have been good. So yes. Uh, McLeod, FRD only as well. And then back three. I mean, Nicole, I have to say FRD only.
00:24:51
Speaker
don't touch half penny and 14. Yeah, you're playing him. So, which one shouldn't shock anybody? Four reds. Red, red, red. Ravi in a pinch. I need to see a little bit more to to among Allen. Fessler is a full on go. He's the best scoring remaining hooker in this competition because I'm going to be out for a while.
00:25:19
Speaker
So that's a, that's a full go. That also makes the, obviously the front row ago, Ryan Smith is still a thing. So yes, you can keep playing him in Subaru if you have to. Um, also an FRD as well. Back row makes it, makes some fun though. McRite's back. So that actually makes him and Wilson full, full sentence now, because now there's a little bit of help in that back row. You know, Liam, right? Ain't much help. Let's be honest about that. Um, client Thomas and FRD only.
00:25:51
Speaker
And then, um, yeah, they went, they went sideways with this, with this 10 selection. Didn't they? Yeah. I mean, I don't trust it. So F R D desperation only for Creighton. Right. Right. But flukes, the definite go, but Sammy's ago in both formats. Should you, should you choose both either? Um, and then, yeah, I mean,
00:26:17
Speaker
Ryan's probably an FRD only guy, but damn, did he look good last week? Yeah, that's a, but then, you know, Creighton. We'll see. We'll see. That might be a one-off. I mean, he scored a hat trick. It's not like he scored one. He scored three. So give him credit. He might fall over the line again. Don't love Campbell, Greeley, probably FRD only. So there's that.
00:26:43
Speaker
All right, chiefs hosting the force. For the chiefs, their whole front row. This is what we call a practice girl. Yeah.
00:26:54
Speaker
Yeah, the Chiefs are going to look a little bit, they're going to be a little bit easier time this week. Not that last week was too difficult, but this one's going to be a pretty, should be cake. Akoi and Vai, pick one, you'll do all right. Semifinefino, while Satiti, as you said, on the other pod, Satiti now is someone maybe to look like he's, maybe they're bang on eight and he should have a fun time this week.
00:27:22
Speaker
Cortez Radema, yes. DMACC, do I have to fucking tell you. Anton Leonard Brown, not, wait, who's, I didn't even look, is Tupaya starting? He's starting with, he has not scored well in either format. So if you, certainly not compared to Anton Leonard Brown, so. And Rona's on the wing. And Rona's on the wing. So I would think if you're looking at the centers,
00:27:46
Speaker
lenno brown rona then to pie and maybe that rona over lenno brown potentially cuz he's on that way um uh narawa uh definitely over nana satoro and and super brew but either way you should do okay
00:28:05
Speaker
Force, FRD only, Donaldson, and that's just a shot in the dark in case they get some garbage time points at the end. He might get some decent play and maybe some conversions. Hamish Stewart, Chase Teatea and Beale are again hoping that they break through. But other than that, it's
00:28:35
Speaker
Yeah. Hoping one hand and crap on the other and see which one gets filled first. You know, that never works out well for me. The crap hand fills up first. I can't imagine why. I've never seen it go the other way. I don't know. I'm trying it. I try it every so often, but. Hasn't worked out well yet, I imagine.
00:29:04
Speaker
Uh, last one, Brumby's and Drua for the Brumby's, uh, upfront slips is okay, but really that's it. Um, McInerney. Yeesh. That's scary, but in general teams do well front row wise against the Drua. So you can go ahead and play the Brumby's front row and someone probably one of the backups is likely to do some damage at some point, uh, locks.
00:29:36
Speaker
Nah, neither pass back row. You're probably playing Valentino. He's playing number eight this week, isn't he? Bobby V. Yes, he is. Yeah. Yup. Yes, he is. So he's probably yet, uh, scrum half. Nah, pass next. I'm different Harrison Goddard and getting down there and playing super rugby, but Nope.
00:30:02
Speaker
Uh, a little CO. Yeah. You're going to play him, uh, midfield. I would prefer Sapsford or Tua over a key towel of late. Sapsford is on the wing again, obviously, which is helpful. So he's definitely a good grab in FRD. Should you find him loose out there somewhere? Tom, right? Yes. And why the fuck mirror heads in there over.
00:30:25
Speaker
anybody else, I haven't got a clue. So although he may find space. So if you're, if he's like your third wing in FRD, you're probably doing okay this week. You might get away with it. Just, just keep that in mind that he's not usually very good for the Drua.
00:30:44
Speaker
don't want anything to do with either props. It can vary as their hooker, as a yes, their front row with him in it is a go, otherwise they're useless. So this week's a good week to have them. Locks, nah, pass. None of that. No, that doesn't mean any good.
00:31:09
Speaker
Backrow has been a little bit dodgy for them too. Like, Mirror Mirror, Enduralingi, and FRD only, and then Salawa is okay in both formats as of right now. His last three weeks he's killed it, so I'll give him the go for now.
Match Predictions
00:31:26
Speaker
It's pretty much wallet would have back this week. So that's going to be interesting. Uh, F R D only at this point. Um, same thing for Armstrong or Vula. Although it could, could get better. Get okay. It'd be okay this week, but I would just prefer to not take the risk and super brewing play. One of the other guys that's more proven.
00:31:46
Speaker
Yeah. I shouldn't need to tell you to play Massey in the centers. I don't know. If you need me to tell you that, then you need a friend that needs to say that. You need a good friend that's going to slap you in the face and tell you you're dumb. Also, you haven't been listening to the pod for like the last eight weeks. A month, at least. Back for you, Rivutamanda, yes. Ricardo, yes.
00:32:09
Speaker
Ratuva, maybe FRD only, probably. Yeah. Because this still is a decent attack. So there's a chance that he falls in line with a 20 meter head start. So there's that as well. Oti Dubs. Of the weeks. So I skimmed over mine, but
00:32:32
Speaker
That's cause there's, there's just so many players on this team that are going to score pretty well. Um, but the chiefs nines have been scoring like nobody's business or tries for fun. Um, they're going to get a lot of line breaks. They're going to have that, that inside ball run too. So, um, it might be a week to captain Cortez Radima, especially against the force at home.
00:32:57
Speaker
So you went for their nine. I went for their 10. I saw it was going to be Damien Kenzie. Yeah. I know the problem is you can't captain them. That's the only that's the only issue is the only problem with it. But he should still serve you well. Yeah. Do what Ben said in Captain Ratman and then just make Mackenzie your kicker. Problem solved. Don't one sits. Sit of the week. I don't mention him. I did not mention him. I just kind of buzzed over him.
00:33:26
Speaker
as far as I just said, the rest of the back staff are the only, but either way, I have a big old bucket of sit for Will Harrison of the Waratahs. Don't think he's going to be terribly busy this week. Sadly. Hurricanes have a very good defense when they're under normal circumstances, when they're pissed off. They don't have their heads up their bums. Yeah.
00:33:51
Speaker
I don't think their heads are going to be at bombs this week. I think they're going to have rockets up there this week. God help us off. They are. Cause I'm just going to fucking lose my mind. I will lose my chat. Um, so tough match up this week for this guy and glad he's been, you know, getting more playing time, but I just don't believe it's worth it at number eight. My say that he's going to be the rebels. Rubble Yoda. Hmm.
00:34:21
Speaker
Yeah. Not, not a good, no. And as I've said before, Kenny's probably the only back three guys. It's worth a damn on that team or a back row on that team. That's worth a damn. All right. Pick them. Let me done picking of them. Champions Cup at Croke Park, Lenser, Northampton. I'm taking the risk here. Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:49
Speaker
Um, I'm, I'm going with the saints. I mean, look, it's imp, I know it's impossible that Leinster would lose a semifinal at home. I know. I know. Cause they, cause they lost a final at home. Um, no, but yeah, I, I, uh, this, that saints team this last week, notwithstanding, um, they're strong and they're going to be focused for this one. So, uh, and right now I think they might be the better team.
00:35:19
Speaker
From from 1 to 15 Which is scary to think of I mean I'm gonna pick and not that I dislike either team But I am gonna pick with my heart here because I really want to see this team do well And I'm gonna pick the guys that wear green. Yeah, that's what happened. Yeah And ultimately came from I you know, I think I think one of the prem teams is moving on to the final and I
00:35:46
Speaker
You know, just to get ahead of it. But, you know, I'm picking to lose because I think Quinn's. Yeah.
00:35:52
Speaker
I agree. It's too tough to mention it. I don't see, I don't see an open membership final this year. Sorry. It'd be cool. And it would be a little bit validating for their sake, but nope. Don't see it. Yeah. And good on Quinn's for making it this far. It's a huge step over. Yeah,
Conclusion and Contact Info
00:36:08
Speaker
this is the first they've been. So good on them. And it's experience that they can bank. Although, although if they win. Oh my God.
00:36:16
Speaker
Um, frickin party in London, there should be a lot of, a lot of Marcus Smith haters who are going to just need to shut all the way up. Yeah. Cause it's going to be because of, it's going to be at least probably going to be because of him. If not mostly, if not entirely because of him. Yep. Uh, excuse me. It's a rugby hurricanes. Let me think about this one a second. No, it's gonna be Kings. Yeah. Jod, they better bounce back. Uh,
00:36:46
Speaker
And yes, I'm picking them. Rebel's Blues. Blues. Blues. Moana Highlanders, and I believe this one's in Tonga. I wonder still. I'm going to pick Moana. Highlanders looked like dog shit last week, and Watts didn't look a ton better, but damn. Exactly. That's my problem. I still think the Highlanders are a better team.
00:37:10
Speaker
Yeah, no, I just, I think it'll be a good moment. It is in Tonga too. Yep. There you go. Crusaders reds. Crusaders.
00:37:22
Speaker
I'm doing the reds. See what she does. Uh, chief's force chiefs. Yeah. Brumby's and drew a Brumby's I'm taking the Brumby's. Yeah. Georgia's don't do well away from home. Unfortunately. Cool. All right.
00:37:47
Speaker
That is our bit gang. Um, yeah, look out for sheets coming up Thursday, Friday. Obviously the Friday one's going to be very brief. Uh, yeah, exactly. But yeah, look out for those.
