Introduction and Podcast Overview
00:00:03
Speaker
it is the fantasy europeans 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
00:00:28
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fantasy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. We're in fancy corner time. Let's go. I'm also struggling to like keep everything on my desk right now because I have.
00:00:40
Speaker
I've gotten rid of the table that I had everything on because we're trying to get everything out of this room because there's going to be something else coming in this room. This is going to be a fun adventure to figure out where we put all this crap. Some of it's definitely going bye-bye and either going to the
00:00:58
Speaker
Salvation Army or whatever, you know, maybe dress for six years or something. And yeah, something like that. It's going bye bye. But so if I look like I'm looking lost and I don't know what to do with my hands, that's why. Not just because I don't know what to do with my hands. Yeah, I know what you do with your hands. Yeah, I'm going to abstain again.

00:01:58
Speaker
Uh, recapping the leagues last week. Well, I got better and then I got worse personally. I think I just went south. I got fucked. Well, you had Tommy rafael pulling out in the, oh, in the official, in the official just, uh, yep. I'm, I'm down and I'm in, I'm in the bottom of the barrel. I jumped you. Yes. That's, that was the old, that was the one.
00:02:24
Speaker
Listen, that's for football last night. So deal with it. Yeah, fair. Steeler's defense really did Jared dirty for me. Oh, man, I totally just tanked. Jared went to Jared went to bed. He was leading by a fair amount. And when I don't, I don't even know more. Yeah. No. Anyway, so we got. Stu was just freaking running away with it. He's the leading scorer again in the week in Superbrew. I didn't vote for him.
00:02:56
Speaker
This guy yearned his way in so I deny him fine
00:03:03
Speaker
How did he do his last round? He was not top in official last week. That went to, I believe that's Mark. He was like two or something. Yeah, but he was two. So he's still putting distance between him and everybody else. So just about, damn, like holy
Fantasy Rugby Tips and Player Selection
00:03:21
Speaker
crap. All right, this guy's coming firing and that's a warning shot to the rest of us. Smarten up.
00:03:26
Speaker
Um, some movement in Subaru though, uh, Mark jumped two spots. Just, Justin went up one. I mean, you jumped me. That's nothing. Let's look at the right home about, let's be honest with that.
00:03:40
Speaker
But yeah, so good for him. I'd eat six points because I was stupid and made a transfer I shouldn't have made was stupid not well was I yeah, probably cuz I didn't get any scrum half points, so Rough yeah, rough stuff man rough stuff, but I still I still Know how the camera I see. Oh, I don't see what I did last week. Never mind What'd you do it's still too tight though shit, I mean I can come back it's just
00:04:08
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I think Sue's going to take this, but the rest of us, there's at least a few of us that could easily get hopped over here, here, there, and everywhere. All right. Um, starts at time. Yeah, why not? We got a game right here. Yeah, we do. Like by the time this is out, like people need to know this shit. Yep. All right. So I believe I lead us off with the, with tomorrow's game.
00:04:35
Speaker
Yes, you do. Okay. So Italy and Uruguay tomorrow. So we got, I'm looking at guys that are highly owned in both teams that are options. Um, for me, uh, a couple of, so it's got to be in your team. No, no doubt. Um, um, Lorenzo can only knock our BC. I don't love it. Um, especially since he's not kicking with Tommy Allen team, uh, that kind of takes away from him a little bit. Um, I'll eat my words there. Lamaro.
00:05:03
Speaker
Yeah, not in Superbrew, but OK in official. Yoani, yes. Brex is probably good in both. I foresee a decent day for him. Nicotera is a sneaky good option for official, especially at Hooker. And then my favorite lock for Italy is not Nico Canoni. It's actually Ruzzo. So I don't love Canoni as much like his brother. He's a good player, just not fantasy points player.
00:05:33
Speaker
Whereas Rose is actually a really good player too, but yeah, he's getting you the point. He's also getting, he also gets points. Um, for the, your clients, I would say free tests and Amaya are the two to look out for and rugby, real cup official. Those are probably going to be some fairly cheap options that will probably still get you
Match Analysis and Fantasy Strategy
00:05:50
Speaker
some points. So, um, some people have, um, Aliaga, I don't know if that's the right move though. So look past that.
00:06:01
Speaker
All right, France versus Namibia. Lots of points on offer for France, obviously. This comes with the fantasy rugby geeks warning or, you know, my warning way of fantasy rugby next week. France, France, Ireland, England. And who else I whatever I buggered off of Twitter.
00:06:27
Speaker
Ireland, France, yeah, but Ireland, France, England, a lot of these big teams are off. So you're going to, certainly in Superbrew, you're going to have to take care of that this week. That said, Malvaca is an option here for the World Cup only, the official only, not for Superbrew. Buy isn't a bad option if you have two other potential starters or players, assuming with Antonio. Flamant could be huge, and then if you can stash him for a week, you're good.
00:06:57
Speaker
all Yvonne. Jelanch is, I think, is more of a World Cup official only. DuPont, obviously, if you have someone else for next week, you're good. Jollibear, rugby World Cup only. Daunty, Fikou, Pinot, Ramos, as long as you have coverage, yes.
00:07:21
Speaker
Dante being back and by being back is going to be bad news for the rest of the rest of the world cup though. Yeah, it is. It is. Again, they're looking like this is a team that's, you know, they're half, they're half in. Um, but at the same time they're fucking, they're actually more than half in. They're like three quarters in like this is, um, they're, they're getting ready. Yeah. This is all part of the build. And then for Namibia, as, as we mentioned in the other pod, this is kind of a change squad for them.
00:07:50
Speaker
So, yeah, no one. I just risk a risk where you need maybe need a cheap one. But that is about the most that I would say. Right. Maybe I don't even want to say look at prop because look who they're propping against and that's not going to be fun. That's not going to be awesome. Um, maybe you look at locks or or second rows or third row. I'm sorry. Back rows, locks or second locks or second rows. Yeah. Great job. Yeah, I just. Yeah, because especially after last week where
00:08:21
Speaker
No, we really scored. Well, this might be another game like that. Like their backup hooker scored. Well, that's it. Yeah. I just don't know how much ball and the maybe you're going to have in this one. Yeah. They'll get kicked too, but I don't know if they're going to have a whole lot of space otherwise. Right. So that's what that's what they'll do. All right. Argentina, Samoa. Yeah. All right. Let's go. Could go in any number. Tasty matchup no matter what. But yeah, let's let's talk the fancy stuff first.
00:08:49
Speaker
for the RGs coming off a bye. Montoja's a big thumbs up for me in this one. Bofeli's same. Petty was in my team before he got named to the bench in week one. So I would reconsider reinserting him. And then, let me just check his numbers here. Pablo Matera, what did he do when he was in the other week?
00:09:13
Speaker
Not bad. I think, you know, I think you'll have a better day at 22 and we're, and we're a couple of officials. So that might go up this week. So if that's somebody that you're looking at, then okay. Uh, for Samoa, um, only three guys that I think are worthy of mentioning right now, Allah, Allah Toa, McFarland, and both are starts in either of them. Farland's definitely a start in either. Um, Allah, Allah Toa definitively official, but also, um, super root possibility as well. Maybe like a outside play.
00:09:43
Speaker
from what other people are doing, just to see if you got a catch up. And then Lua too, I look at, but I don't know if I love it. He's more popular than most of the small players, so I'm gonna, I'm uneasy about that, because he just didn't score last week on either variation, I think. Let me double check my math on that one, hold on. Let's see, he did. 6.5 and five, not awesome. So I would stay away from that.
00:10:12
Speaker
Off to actually kind of an interesting matchup in its own right as well. Georgia versus Portugal. Looking forward to this one, actually. This one is going to be interesting. And for Georgia, the thing to remember about them is that they play Fiji next week, which
00:10:32
Speaker
Fiji let you play. The points are there. It's not like they are playing stifling defense and whatnot. And they do break some tackles, but mostly they just offload. So you don't see many missed tackles, I don't think, or not as many as you would against other teams that run as hard as they do. So George is still an option. In Superbrew, they're an option because you can kind of have them for two weeks and then ditch them. So Mamukashvili,
00:11:02
Speaker
He's not bad anyway. Gorgadze, Matkava at 10, Shorykadze at 12, and Nini Ashvili at 15.
00:11:12
Speaker
guys could do well this week and next. So they're the guys that I would look for in, in either competition. Um, for Portugal, I think it's only really worth it for the, the world cup official, um, honey Tager at hooker, um, love them. He's, he's, he's, seems to be an excellent, uh, line out thrower, at least from what I've seen, um, and the danger off the back of it. Um, and then in the official man, in the official game,
00:11:39
Speaker
Um, their back row players are locks. So, um, Martin and, uh, let's see, Mo's I'm sorry if I'm butchering their names. I've had a couple of beverages and, um, um, I have not spoken these names before anyway. I may have heard them a couple of times, but not really thought about it. Um, yeah. Martin had 65 or swales. Yep.
00:11:59
Speaker
So yeah, it was good. Yeah. And he's like an eight man, but he's a lock in the, in the game. So yes, please. Um, and then, uh, Marta, which obviously love Marta. Um, but this Marta, um, is a, is a wing who is, uh, in the centers, uh, in the official game. So that's someone to look for against Georgia. That's interesting. Yeah. Like it scored well too. So that's why it's like he scored well. Yeah. And he's a center getting outside back points. So it was a lot. Yeah.
00:12:29
Speaker
Yeah. All right. Uh, England and Chile. So we got for England, there's going to be probably heavy rotation. I would guess for this match. Um, so for the likes of like laws, you'll probably see Willis, maybe Jack Willis, um, Ludlam as well, as well as a possibility Billy's probably coming back.
00:12:51
Speaker
So keep those in mind. I would, even if he starts, I would stay away from a Toji. He's actually been very bad, fantasy wise. So I would stay away from him for that. Probably not going to see Ford. It's probably going to be Marcus. Give that a whirl if you're interested in it. Midfield, we'll probably see, we'll probably see Ollie Lawrence. So I'd give that a run as well.
00:13:11
Speaker
Um, should have been, or I'll play and start. I would definitely play him as well. Um, and then whoever's at loose head, actually both loose heads have scored all right. The first two games here, um, especially
Fantasy Player Recommendations and Strategies
00:13:21
Speaker
in the official Marlar scored 29 last week and again, scored 24 the week before. So not too, too bad. Theo Dan is depressingly expensive in the official game.
00:13:31
Speaker
I know, I know. And Jinx has done well and I'm assuming he'll, Theo Dam wouldn't do dissimilar. Right. But he's like, he's like one unit. One point less. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. It's criminal almost. Right. It's like, what are you doing to us? Yeah. Maybe, maybe Jack Walker gets in there and he can do, serve it. But I don't know about that one. Yeah, I still don't know. I wouldn't want to play him. Like Theo Dam, I don't want to play. Right. Because he can see it with me. He gets a little crazy in the loose.
00:13:58
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. Um, for July, I asked, there's definitely somebody to put on your radar. He's done well in two games in a row so far. So I would definitely throw his name out there. Um, the Escobar brothers are definitely somebody to consider as well. And then, yeah. And that's either Diego or, um, a font. So, and then anybody else to really throw in there. I wouldn't risk it with Fernandez.
00:14:26
Speaker
It's just, it's, it was good last week, but it wasn't great the week before. So, you know, no, and he doesn't have the tea, which really makes it hard. Yeah, it does. So yeah, Diego Escobar, my favorite Escobar brother. If you had the tea, that would be a different calculation, but yep. Um, and Savedra, one of the Savedra brothers is highly owned, but I wouldn't play them. Neither one did all right one week and then neither did well another week. So, you know, a little too Jekyll and Hyde for me.
00:14:55
Speaker
Off to one of the two matches everyone's looking forward to this weekend. Absolutely. South Africa and Ireland. Little battle of some big boys there. Yes. For South Africa. Etzabeth. Yes. Visa.
00:15:16
Speaker
He was born to play for South Africa against Ireland in the World Cup. This is where he belongs. They're going to give him physicality, and he's going to give it right back. Fantasy-wise, he's going to bump people off.
00:15:32
Speaker
Yeah, that's what he does that scores and an Irelander are okay with that because they're like, okay Well, if I even even if I just stop your momentum the next guy I'll tackle you and even if he just stops your momentum the next guy I'll tackle you Yeah, they'll take three bust tackle bust but you haven't gone anywhere and visa will play that game And then he'll still get his line breaks and other things so he will rake fantasy wise Colby
00:15:58
Speaker
Curly Arensa, Vilhemsa, I like Vilhemsa a lot more than LaRue. Yeah, same. For Ireland.
00:16:09
Speaker
Porter or for long. Yeah, again, remembering that they're on break next week. So bear that in mind as you yeah, as you create your team, how many of these bigger name, you know, the top tier teams you really won't need in your lineup this week. Well, at least unless you can stash someone else. Burn. Josh Vanderfleer. This is a game like he's been quiet lately.
00:16:36
Speaker
Um, so this is, this is the game where he can remind people that, oh yeah, I was world player of the year. Cause you know what? He hasn't been playing like that lately. Um, not to call him out. Um, but it just, it hasn't been there. Uh, Johnny Sexton, again, born to play this game. Um, Bondi Aki, I guess the, yes, I think he's got a tasty matchup against a guy who's more than willing to throw the body around, but, um,
00:17:02
Speaker
Again, I think Aki is the better of those two. I think he's going to have a day. Gary Ringrose, because of Aki's good days, also going to have a good day and Low and Keenan. Although I say Low, it's probably going to be Mack Hansen. I just want the coin because it's going to be one of them. It's probably not going to be both. It's going to be two of the three, back three. I'm saying that Keenan is the sure bet and that it's either going to be Low or
00:17:31
Speaker
Mack Hanson. Hanson, otherwise, yeah. Probably not wrong. Not wrong at all. Okay. I'm probably very, I don't know, whatever. Yeah, right. And then we have. It's definitely gonna be two of the three. Right. Then we have Scotland and Tonga. So, one second here. Four. Start with the Scots.
00:17:55
Speaker
So I'm going to go, it's, this'll be advantageous and this'll be a match that gets opened up and that's how Scotland will like to play. So I think the things that we wanted from them in the first game, which was always going to be tough. Well, we'll come to fruition here. So like Russell, uh, do Han, uh, Hugh Jones, especially. I hate him as a player, but as a fancy asset, I'll, I'll go with Jack Dempsey. He annoys me though. Uh, tweet below two as well, which is
00:18:22
Speaker
Yeah, Schumann is five as a prop and that should go well. He should go well this week as well. So those are the big ones for me there. That's really like, yeah, Schumann's probably the best bargain. I mean, if it's one of the other ones, then they're even cheaper and go ahead. But other than that, For the Tongans. So we saw their debut last week
00:18:49
Speaker
They have some guys that can play and they have some guys that probably should be left at home. So right now, my favorites are Vyvafita assuming he's healthy and he's not going to miss this match and I'm sure it's going to take a broken leg for him to do that. And even then, he'll probably be like, nope, I'm playing.
00:19:07
Speaker
Tamifuna played really well last week. So I'll give, I'm gonna give him a nod as well. Uh, have you at least scored 35? So I think both our sits of the week weren't really that much city. I think we both bought that one, but oh well. Um, Pietal only had 23 official last week, but he'll do better this week. I think, um, more, more appropriate matchup for Pietal this week, I would say. Um,
00:19:35
Speaker
So yeah, those are the ones that I like. And then, yeah, nobody else really worth it. Certainly not in super brew. Maybe some flyers to take in official. Off to the last batch of the weekend, the sickos committee gathers to watch Wales and Australia. I know at these jobs, probably not on the line.
00:20:04
Speaker
God, that would be awesome. With a bot. I mean, I know, yeah, he can't fire him after this, but at the same time, this is what he is. This is it. You can't say that he needs time to get his system in place and get his players where he wants them to be, because you know what? They're fucking carbon copy of England. Right.
00:20:29
Speaker
Like they look exactly like exactly the way England looked when he left them. He comes in and they're playing exactly that way. Absolutely. So he's had that he doesn't need the time. It's there. What's he going to do differently? So but that's why I'm obviously.
00:20:46
Speaker
heavily rooting for Wales. An Australian win would just throw a whole chaos into the pool, which also, again, same thing. That's why we're gathering the sickos committee, because no matter how or what outcome, hilarity will reign. Yeah, absolutely. So onto the players.
00:21:06
Speaker
Um, Jack Morgan for, for whales, you know, he wasn't even supposed to be here today and he comes in and it's player of the match. Yeah, absolutely. Owns it. Um, Rafael, if he's healthy, I would like to see him. I think this was a good match for him. I think that actually he would be extremely vital in a match against Australia. Cause he also knows that kind of style. Cause he played on, you know, he played around it under when Eddie was there in England. Um, Dan bigger, same thing. He like, he knows what he's up for. Um,
00:21:36
Speaker
Actually, all these guys do. George North. Yes. Lewis Reesamit. Yes. And Adams, obviously. Yes. On the Aussie side, Gus Bell. Kind of. Yes. Yes. It kind of has to be. McRite. Maybe. Donaldson. If Australia do well, Donaldson will score very well. Let's put it that way. So if you're expecting that, go for it.
00:22:07
Speaker
I'm just not sure, because in the official game, I can't remember how much he costs. Dalton? Yeah. He's up there. Because he's a 10. There he is. He's eight and a half. Actually, that's not bad. Because he's a 10. And now if he's actually playing 10, because I'm assuming that Carter Gordon will not be playing in this match, or at least not starting, because Eddie caught his balls off. And then Nawakan Uduwasi.
00:22:34
Speaker
He's going to put up points, right? He's the, he's the one like, yeah, you kind of have to have him in your team kind of guy from Australia. There's, there's not like, Bell is it, isn't nice to have McRae Donaldson. And if you're trying to be a cute, uh, no walking into Wassey's. Yes. Yeah. All right. Starts of the, you know, disparaging
Predictions and Closing Remarks
00:22:58
Speaker
getting cute. Sometimes you got to get cute to win. Yeah. Sometimes you do. That's a fact.
00:23:03
Speaker
I agree. I agree. Um, yeah. All right. So we got to start to the week here. So my guy, not highly selected at the moment, but assuming that he eventually gets the shirt that he's probably going to get, um, should have himself, uh, really just like your jobs match up and I'm going low hanging through here. Triple kicker on this guy this week. Um, on my side, that was going to be Marcus Smith. Okay. Interesting.
00:23:33
Speaker
Actually, yeah, I would love to see that. That would be good. That's the game I kind of want to watch if he's your triple kicker, yes. Right. When I started the week, all he does is score tries when he plays. Literally all he does amongst all the other cool shit he does, and he's got the tastiest matchup possible. It's hard not to pick his
00:23:59
Speaker
his back three mate because his back, one of those back three mates has the tee for it. But at the same time, I think this guy's just going to score tries like it's going out of style. And so Damien Panno is my start of the week. Panno. Yeah. Yep. He's a guy who wants to get the kicks. So he like, it's, you know, pick your poison or your pleasure, but I'm going with Panno. Right. All right. So
00:24:28
Speaker
Hang on one second. There it is. Um, so I was not really, I mean, this is probably going to be one of my more wildcard sets of the week, but, um, even in, let me double check my numbers because I remember making a decision, having looked at that number and I'm pretty sure I'm right here. Um, even in what was a favorable matchup, you just, yeah.
00:24:57
Speaker
didn't quite have it and it's another favorable matchup and it's going to be more of a stone wall this time because the team he's playing is going to bring it. Love him as a player. I think he's doing great things for his country and he's going to be one of the shining stars when they finally make it to the knockout some year, some year, probably not this year, but probably next World Cup. But my say of the week is going to be Pollock RBC.
00:25:20
Speaker
I don't love him and I just don't love him in that 12 shirt. That's really, really scares me. You know, I just, and I know it's your way. Sounds like a TC matchup and they are better than this team, but that 12 shirt scares me. I think the 12 shirt in general is just something that's just. That's a technical term. Yeah. And I was actually thinking that when I was looking at Brex, cause I have Brex in super brew and I'm like, okay, do I want to change him out? But I'm like, you know what?
00:25:49
Speaker
I'll have to see who they play next week. Or at least I have them for next week. Maybe I have to see them. Yeah, 13's good. No, because Red Roger is out. So I'm just going to throw Brex in and just ride it out that way. And then when Ring Rose is out, Brex'll and Red Roger will come back. So I think I have a good rotation there.
00:26:08
Speaker
I don't think I needed to switch out Brex because I think that like he's going to be the one getting the wrong. I think you're right. It is the 13. And Brex in the 13 has been fun to watch in the past. So yeah. And Moifana only got four in official last week wearing the 12 shirt for France. Right. So I have reasons. It sounds like I'm off the wall, but I have my reasons. Hey, I'm also going with the 12. Oh. So and I kind of dwelled on it in the match when I was previewing it.
00:26:38
Speaker
Um, in that he's definitely going to be the second best 12 in this match. He's in, he's bordering into two E range for me, where I think he's more reputation than performance at this point. And I think that he's also his country's easily their second best 12, which is why it's puzzling to me that Damien de la linda is starting for South Africa. Um, and I would not have him in your fantasy roster.
00:27:05
Speaker
Certainly not a fancy asset that I'm excited to have these days. That's for sure. I'm actually not that excited about South Africa's midfield. I like Creel. He's okay. I don't mind Creel. But I think he's better with...
00:27:24
Speaker
Esther Hazen in there because Esther Hazen really can like break the line and then offload and then do like a lot of stuff with the ball too. So then Creel can be running at pace when he's getting it and the defense just is fucked. And I don't think he gets that same opportunity with DDA in there. Right.

Speaker
So I think like DDA hurts. It's like, it's, it's an, like the Simpsons unmistakable cone of intro, um, of ignorance. It just sucks everything down right there. Jesse Creel suffers from this. Yep. All right. Pick up them tomorrow's game, Italy Uruguay. This was a tough one, Jared. I thought long and hard about it. I think I'm going to go Italy. Yeah, same.
00:28:13
Speaker
So I think, I think they are still better than the rest. So that's what, that's where I'm going with there. France and Libya, France. I struggled with this one too, Jared. Um, ultimately went with France. Struggled like a poop. Argy's and Samoa. Argy's are going to be pissed. I think they're going to win. Yeah, I think so too. They really let themselves down in that opener. Um, Georgia and Portugal.
00:28:40
Speaker
Georgia, I want to be cute and pick Portugal, but Georgia are the more experienced team at this point, and they will bring it and they're going to watch that game from Wales and go. All right, we cannot screw around. This team will definitely upset us if we let it happen. Exactly. And Georgia can play the style that Portugal will will kind of.
00:28:59
Speaker
It's going to be tough. It can be very physical coming from Georgia, although they can move the ball a little bit, too. So yes, like they can do enough of that to play as physical as they do and have that dominate team or not dominate, but but arm wrestle teams like Portugal. So I think it'll be close for the first 60 and then Georgia pulls away. Yeah, that wouldn't be shocking. All right. England, Chile, England, Chile. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
00:29:28
Speaker
Although I would love it. Chile can do what Japan did. They have the capability to do they have, do they have the huevos? They don't give a shit. They're going to come in with no bucks. Give an attitude. They really are. It'll be funny either way, but moving on. South Africa, Ireland. I have Ireland. I think, I think from my, the way I've been talking about this match, I think that
00:29:57
Speaker
That had, you know, it's pretty evident. I think that's why. Cause I was having all these thoughts and I'm like, Oh, Ireland are going to win this. Yeah. This is like their third, not really taught. They weren't, it wasn't that tough last week, but this is like the third semi-challenging match to say the least in a row. So if they get out of this, if they come out clean with this one with a wind, then they're, they're on the path to.
00:30:20
Speaker
really do some damage as World Cup. So yeah, I will go with the Irish though. I think they've, they've got it. And not to say that this will be close. This is going to be a fricking bar fight. This is going to be bad. It's going to be some ways. Maybe he's going to enjoy this one too. For different reasons, more like, you know, cause the game's going to be ridiculous. It's going to be a great, great rugby match. And it's like, I don't care who wins. Just entertain me. Please.
00:30:49
Speaker
Scotland Tonga on Sunday. Scotland. Yeah. Love you Tonga. I hope you do well, but Scotland's rested and they're going to be mad because they let them again, they let themselves down that work that first week as well. Right? Yeah. Angry spouse. You don't want to, you don't get, no. Yeah. Finn's going to spin the ball all over the place. It's going to be fun to watch. All right. Uh, Wales, Australia. It all comes down to this.
00:31:17
Speaker
I'm going with my heart. I want Wells to win this thing so Eddie can go bye bye. I like. Yes, I would do the same thing, but for me it was with my head because as well because. Again, you're either bringing Donaldson in at 10 and just changing the whole dynamics of the team. And if you play that way, if you're really playing the Eddie way at that point. Good luck.
00:31:45
Speaker
because Wells knows how to play that. Or you're playing Carter Gordon and he's got his eye on the sideline in the second half. That's not a fun feeling. And if it's even a little bit close. You don't want your fly half out there pooping himself that he might get pulled if he makes a mistake. No. No. No. Yeah.
00:32:11
Speaker
All right, Wells, I've given you the vote of confidence. Fucking do the job. Damn it. Please, please. For all our sakes. All right. Cool. If you're listening to this, hopefully we've done our job and gotten stuff up for at least the first couple of games and with the super boost stuff. A lot of those starts and sits are assumed, although I went with my first starts and sits of the weekend with guys. Right. Yeah.
00:32:37
Speaker
Guys, we, we, we got a hunch, got a hunch thing. Pretty sure they're playing. But yeah, so we will, um, we'll get that out. Um, I will get rankings out ASAP as well. And like I said, I'm going to try and do the, on the first part, I'm going to try and do the who's and what's in the thing. But anyway, enjoy the rugby this weekend, folks. Thank you so much for listening. We'll catch you guys next week. Have a good one. Everyone later. Cheers.
