    I have set up a league for this as a few said they might be up for it. None of us know much about rugby so it’s just a bit of fun.

    Good stuff Nathan. I’ve still got 16.8 million, despite splashing out on some expensive players when I realised how much I had left! Only one I can really put a face to is Johnny Sexton. I think I will make him captain on that basis alone. Years of following horse racing and studying form have got me nowhere in terms of financial or competition success so blind guessing may be the way forward. Good luck!

    On the subject of the Six Nations, Bet365 pay out singles on the match result as soon as your team goes 10 points up, regardless of final result. Worth backing some of the outsiders IMO, I got England at 5/1 in November when they lost to NZ by a point. Even perennial whipping boys Italy can do it occasionally if they get off to a good start.

    Love it, great tournament despite its flaws. Hope you can all find the time to catch a game or two, think France v Wales tomorrow could be a cracker and as an England fan I’m already nervous about Saturday in Dublin.

    Reminder that the first match is tonight (France v Wales) and you can transfer as many as you like before then. Maybe worth having a quick check of your team to see if they are likely to be playing (had to transfer a few of mine who weren’t even in the squad!). This is a handy site https://www.six-nations-guide.co.uk/2019

    Good Luck!

    Jaysus, what a match! Have to say I didn’t see that coming. Stunning win, just about got myself back together now :yahoo:

    The French implosion was quite something last night too although I did have a small piece of 8/1 Wales at half time so can’t complain.

    Well it’s the final week of this and I am still just as clueless about the rules, scoring & most of the players’ names. I’m afraid I’ve been very slack in providing updates but you’re all grown-ups so can presumably check for yourselves! Anyway, here’s the leaderboard going into the final matches. Best of luck!
