Introduction and Episode Focus
Transfer Strategy Insights
00:00:29
Jarrod Dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the fancy R.B. Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. No Ben this week, or for this one or other, I should say, due to unforeseen circumstances,
Extra Resources on Patreon
00:00:38
Jarrod Dyke
he's not gonna be able to do the start-sit with me. In which case, I'm gonna just make this just start-sit so we don't get, I don't get too carried away in babbling on my own too much and Ben can, you know, join in the fun next week when when it's ready. So, ah things to keep in mind for this week, I would say are,
00:00:56
Jarrod Dyke
Um, consider teams that are potentially going to be out of this competition after the next two weeks. So when you're making transfers and looking for guys to pick up. for your starts this week, consider that. And then also, um yeah, those of you that have not seen the Patreon and then our
Game Picks: Glasgow vs. Rossing and Stormers vs. Sale
00:01:13
Jarrod Dyke
Patreon subscribers, please go ahead and check that out. There's some useful information over there. um And then this this segment for these weeks are generally just start and we'll give a, we'll give us a sit at the week each one of us. And I know he has and I have as well, ah but
00:01:29
Jarrod Dyke
essentially just keep in mind that we're probably just going to give you starts and the rest are kind of, we either see as w risks or just not worthy of mentioning one or the other in any case.
00:01:41
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, let's go into starts it for champions cup round three, um, Ben. So this, this one is Ben's Ben's going to start us off with Glasgow and Rossing. So he has four Glasgow, uh, start venter to upload to Hugh Jones, Colorado, and Josh Mackay. And for Rossing Diamani, uh, like a wreck and Aaron Dell. And that's it.
Player Recommendations: Exeter and Bordeaux
00:02:05
Jarrod Dyke
And then we're jumping over to Stormer's Resale. So going down to South Africa should be interesting. ah for the for For me, for the Stormers, I'm looking at just guys that have done the damage so far, ah for myself at least. So right now, I'm looking at Doiba, maybe Jean-Luc Duplisi, Similani, and Halant. And then for sale, I'm expecting them to send the shags, depending on what that, but you know, you might want to start one of these guys depending on what that looks like.
00:02:33
Jarrod Dyke
Rod, maybe, um, John looked at Priya, maybe, and Bobby dupes. Maybe again, uh, if they send, you know, the Ben juice, I'm guessing he'll, he'll be starting at 10 because for their, you know, their, their change squad, we'll, we'll call it. They usually use him as their 10. And then we have, ah excuse me, Exeter and Bordeaux via Ben for Exeter. Nobody.
00:02:57
Jarrod Dyke
You know, I might be personally, say I might chuck
Player Recommendations: Sharks and Toulouse
00:03:00
Jarrod Dyke
Tom white out there, but again, I don't think eggs are going to be in this competition after next week. So I, I'm not going to go out of my way to find an exit or player to add. Let's put it that way. Uh, for Bordeaux, Ben has, um, good to petty to tough who Samu via better and, uh, Pennell as of right now. Moving on to the shocks and to lose for.
00:03:28
Jarrod Dyke
the for the sharks. um I'm gonna I'm gonna go with ox. Khaleesi Khaleesi had a huge week. The last time he played ah Grant Williams, Jordan or Jaden Hendricks, I think is okay. um I put I put her down he's scored well even even in that talking they took it at Lester he scored okay. And then Mac um to lose. I'm expecting
Player Recommendations: Munster and Saracens
00:03:51
Jarrod Dyke
them to go full noise so really you can kind of pick and choose what you want. I will say March on has scored a little bit better than Malvaca, no matter which role they've either done in terms of starting or coming off the bench. So just keep that in mind. But really, you know, there's plenty to pick from and I think they'll all be worthy. You're certainly going to at least keep them in your team because and I expect to lose to go quite, didn't quite far in this, in this competition. And then that brings us to Munster and Saracens.
00:04:24
Jarrod Dyke
for, via Ben, uh, month. He has for monster, uh, Tyburn, Jack Crowley, Alex, naked veil, if healthy, and we're not 100% sure about that. Abraham's same thing. And then Haley as well for the Saracens. We're not sure we were talking about it on the on the regular rugby pod We're not sure what kind of team they're gonna send over. They might send, you
Player Recommendations: Northampton
00:04:45
Jarrod Dyke
know, kind of a a minus squad They may send their full noise. They may they may not depends entirely on how McCallen Josh are feeling ah but for them
00:04:55
Jarrod Dyke
Go with Jinx, maybe Theo Dan, if he's healthy. Uh, Notoj, Gonzo, Ben Earl, Tom, Tom Willis. And that's probably what's worth it for right now.
00:05:08
Jarrod Dyke
And then, and then, and then we have start from saying North Hampton, um, uh, stuff. I don't have much in the way of consistent picks. Um, I liked Leo barre the way he looked and he scored well, um, at least once, if not twice. And to go walk, uh, scored well against Harrison's in their last home match. So I expect he'll be in and might be worth kind of a.
00:05:30
Jarrod Dyke
a left field off the wall play that
Team Performance Expectations: Leicester and Ulster
00:05:33
Jarrod Dyke
might be different than what everyone else has to help you give an edge. Maybe, maybe, maybe not. ah For Northampton, Langdon, Truck, Pollock, Pearson, maybe Kenney, considering his form in the pram lately, we'll see. Mitchell, Finsmith, yes. Freeman, Ram, yes. um ah The rest I either consider risks or just, you know, get better options elsewhere.
00:05:57
Jarrod Dyke
Four, and then let's go back and go back to Ben. Lester B. Ulster. This is going to be bad news for Ulster likely, because they're probably going to be bowing out of this competition very shortly here. And Lester, are I would say, are going for
Key Players to Watch
00:06:11
Jarrod Dyke
it. I'd say they're going to, they're one of those teams that's as aiming for three out of four wins. um So for the Tigers, Motocha, George Martin, Andre Pollard, Hassell Collins, and Freddie Stewart.
00:06:23
Jarrod Dyke
For Ulster McCloskey and Lowry might be it. I throw Timoni into that ring as well, personally, because I like him a lot. But again, that's just my personal opinion that not Ben's. And then let's go over to cast and balls. Big game for both these teams. They both kind of need it in order to stay alive in this pool ah forecast. Maybe Tyler Ardern. We'll see. I assume he'll play because he's at home as long as he's not hurt
Game Picks: Toulon and Quinn's
00:06:50
Jarrod Dyke
and LeBron.
00:06:52
Jarrod Dyke
14 points, both rounds, there their, their, uh, their fly half. Not bad. Uh, again, kind of off the wall, uh, bounds and might save you some money. I don't know. I don't think he's too, too much. In any case, um, for the bulls, uh, I'd say Acre and then they're back row guys of Hanukkahm, uh, Elriglo and, uh, Marcel Cozia. That's, that's it. I wouldn't look for much else otherwise.
00:07:19
Jarrod Dyke
And then Ben has Toulon and Quinn's. This'll be a fun matchup. Hopefully Quinn's don't get run off the paddock um or maybe maybe vice versa. Doubt that.
Weather Impact on Game Strategy
00:07:29
Jarrod Dyke
um In any case, Toulon, Ben has Dave ribbons, Lewis Ludlum. Yeah, Ludlum, excuse me, not Ludlum, Ludlum. She's not the first person to do that. Garbisi, Feinga, Nuku, and Vidia. And then for Quinn's, he's got Dom, Marcus,
00:07:46
Jarrod Dyke
um Beard Northmore, Merle Green, depending on if green's healthy or not. We're not sure about that yet. Maybe, maybe not. um And then, oof.
00:07:57
Jarrod Dyke
ah Another fun matchup, LaRochelle and Leinster. They might be cleaning it. I was looking at the weather for this one before I made these decisions. and might They might be cleaning up some mud, but the weather actually should hold and be okay and not turn this into the mud bowl that it was. I think it was last year they played this exact fixture. Any case, for LaRochelle the host, Wardy, Latu, Big Willy Style, Aldri.
00:08:23
Jarrod Dyke
Caraballo maybe, but again, we talk about, you know, picking a nine that's not DuPont. It's not the worst idea to try and play a contrarian play and off the wall play to get an edge on people. But then again, you're missing out on DuPont and he usually scores. Well, this might be a week that that might be worth it. We'll see. Um, but yeah, Caraballo, um, EIOS, um, maybe lids. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but Jack Knoll, but
00:08:50
Jarrod Dyke
uh, for Leinster, um, I think you can get away with either hooker, um, McCarthy or Keller. Unless then she, and all of a sudden becomes magically healthy, which I don't think is going to happen. Um, the locks, James Ryan, Joe McCarthy,
Crucial Matches: Bristol vs. Benetton
00:09:07
Jarrod Dyke
and Steinman in inverse order. So Simon McCarthy, Ryan are my, are my preferences there.
00:09:13
Jarrod Dyke
Uh, back row vendor Fleer Doris, uh, Jack Conan in that order of preference, uh, backs, uh, printed guests, Jordy, Larmor, and, um, Jimmy O'Brien. Give me a second. I'm not spacing that hard. There we go. And then we have Bristol and Benetton.
00:09:36
Jarrod Dyke
Kind of a, kind of a need to win for Bristol and Benton can put themselves in no good position for the last round. If they come away with a win somehow, uh, Bristol, either Thacker or odd, uh, Gray Harding, Billy Mata, uh, Harry Randall, we're Volvo. That's about it. And then, um, Benton he's written Canoni. I don't know which one, maybe both your choice, uh, year end, Albornos, Minachello, and we're not Smith.
00:10:06
Jarrod Dyke
than the Cudi Gray, Bath and Claremont. This will be interesting. Again, two teams that are, yeah Claremont's got one when Bath has none. This would kind of make or break their tournament at this point.
00:10:21
Jarrod Dyke
for bath, uh, Bayless Reed in the forwards, Finn. And then really I need to
Weekly Picks and Episode Conclusion
00:10:28
Jarrod Dyke
see it in this competition in particular for the, from the rest. You know, I think Lawley Lawrence might be worth a shout because he's all the Lawrence, but we'll see, um, for Claremont Masa, the hooker has one of the better, um,
00:10:41
Jarrod Dyke
points per games right now and is fairly cheap if I remember right. So keep your eye on him. T-Cerone, Fritz Lee and Yato in that order in terms of loose forward slash back row eligible players are as my preference and that's it for them. um Okay, so we got of the weeks here.
00:11:01
Jarrod Dyke
ah Ben has gone with a gentleman that is letting things up for one of the French teams, and his speed is something that we cause talk about constantly. He's going to make Louis-Bio be at his start of the week from Bordeaux. And for me, ah he's only played one round so far, but he was awesome, and it was at home, and his team's at home again. And he's he seems to just be taking his game to another level, which doesn't seem possible sometimes. but In any case, my start lyrics are going to be, see Aklesi from Hollywood Beth Sharks. Or sits.
00:11:38
Jarrod Dyke
um Ben is not a fan of something I, someone I said as a start, he is looking at Jordan Henderson right in the face and saying he needs to be sat. So that's interesting to me, but we'll see how it goes. I think if you, I think if you include the Lester game, it wasn't, yeah it's obviously scary to start him. But I think if you look at just the own game, it's the results were better for him. So that's where I'm looking. And that's why i I'm okay with him starting.
00:12:06
Jarrod Dyke
But he is, but Ben is very much not okay with it. So there's your, there's that for you. Um, I'm going with a player actually from the same game though. Um, I'm going to go with, or no, not from, not from the same game, but they will be playing in the same country. Um, sorry, same team name. Maybe that's what I was thinking of. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Uh, my civil week's going to be Luke James. He's.
00:12:27
Jarrod Dyke
A little too highly owned for my liking. And I know he's, it's because he's somewhat cheap, but like, you can you can pinch pennies elsewhere. Don't use him as your break, break glass of Kate's or emergency center. You even that there's, there's better options. If you need help, we can, we can tell you, I promise.
00:12:44
Jarrod Dyke
Okay. So that is all we're going to do for this. We'll have PWR stuff um published later. We'll have our picks published later, obviously as well. The sheet will be published on Friday and in a timely manner. But other than that, um thanks for listening to us. And we appreciate you guys giving us the support, support that you have. And we'll catch you guys next week. Enjoy the champions cup. See ya.
