Am I the only one who likes to play all youth games WNWIM and invert the team selection every week so every player plays in a different position every game?

The Cheika approach... is it working?

Orizio

Well, its supposed to give your players a better all round level of skills by playing them in different positions, but I have only had one decent YA pull so far.

Looking forward to my cup match today. Best of luck to Meh.

Both my locks are from my ya. Both reputable jumpers and very tall.

Have a complete reserve team out tonight, thought they'd be getting hammered, but doing well so far. 3-0. Was hoping to use the game to decide who to get rid of

Stev_o

12-3 don't know if ill be able for a comeback this time around. Damn intercept.

Orizio

Oh well looks like I'm getting hammered in both matches...

At least my lineout is working, looks like I got the tactics wrong however.

Orizio

Looks like I'm winning all the day turnovers and yet getting cleaned out in the rucks.

Ares and Cody, what tactics/intensity are ye playing?

Orizio

PnG Wanders, Tommy Tigers and Manichial Matriachs straight through btw, likely to be followed by Meh and The Rebels.

CoDy1

I'm playing WNWIM but aggressive discipline. Seems to be working but alot of silly errors being made.

dave13

I'm playing WNWIM, normal disicpline. Playing a rush defence with a non-existent skill level.

Orizio

Well congrats Cody and Dave, too much kicking on my part I think, just not good enough as well. Live and learn.

I have two friendlies open for next Monday if anyone's interested.

Anyway, the fixtures for the next round...

The Rebels vs Geraldine RFC

Daveos Masters vs PnG Wanders

Banner Warriors vs Tommy Tigers

Bridge Burners vs Maniachial Matriarchs

Xavi XI vs Polk High

Dead Hard Fcukers vs A Lovely Bunch Altogether

Forza Juve vs The Blackouts

Cork Hurricanes vs Meh

Best of luck, will send PMs out to all.

Orizio

Well the good news out of the defeat's is that I got 4 pops on one team and 3 on the other.

CoDy1

I'm open for friendly too if anyones interested? Wondering Wanderers.

Orizio

Just sent out the PMs, if anyone involved hasn't recieved the PM please tell me.

I'll try and put up some kind of 'team of the round' tomorrow.

Revenge! Well not if i have 61 missed tackles again.:)

I'll send the friendly request.

Orizio

Regarding a draw this time, we base it off the official Blackout Rugby rules...

In the event of a draw, the winners will be decided by the half-time score, number of tries, number of drop goals, number of conversions, number of successful penalty kicks at goal, metres gained, number of linebreaks, number of intercepts, or all else failing, the team playing at home.

suppafly

Twas a bit of a schooling alright from my boys

The lad I have playing at full back is a bit of beast though and will score tries against most teams.
