Has anyone ever done a fantasy team for football or rugby?

You start off picking the top players you want, then all of a sudden you look at your budget and have to start putting the players in you would never have dreamt of selecting...you want to carry on putting the better players in but you can’t because the budget doesn’t allow, so you have to swap and change and settle for what you think is about the right balance...

If you haven’t had a go at it, then have a go...it could be a bit of an eye opener...

Then just think what teams like ours have to go through when it isn’t fantasy but real money and budgets they’re working with!

Not according to an interview given by CC, he says that because he was an unused sub, then he is eligible to play for WT in the cup.

Squads looking strong, would’ve been good to have Bish on the wing over Jowitt.

Not even d if we win, just want to play better than last week.

Team is in...Walker FB...Croft and Jowitt on right edge...strong starting pack and Crowther and Tanginoa on bench...looks a decent 17 to me...get off to a good start and protect our backs who will be up against it...come out n boys!

First 20 minutes we need to complete high and do the basics well. If we do I’ve no doubt we’ve got a chance.

Usual crowd at Hudds I see

2 tackles in the first set, 3rd man in below the knees on both.

Of course they’re gonna have good line speed standing 5 metres in front of the red.

Improved performance....so far

Always helps

For goodness sake Hampshire !!!!!!

Senior having a good game so far tbf.

What a break by Miller!

Can you slide in feet first like that?

It depends who you play for and the referee

Excellent sign with the skip and step through the defence and the confidence to stick the kick through at the end.

Let’s build on it in the second half...

The fullback showing brilliant signs on the wing... Jesus Christ

Full set of 6 close to our line with just the backs taking the ball in.

We never stood a chance really after that.

I lost count of how many times we barely managed to finish our sets outside of our half. Why is our pack so weak?

A bright spark from the backs in amongst a sea of dross. Our first choice forwards yet again annihilated by opposing pack

They are blitzing in defense. If we stay with it they'll get tired.
But if we turn over ball easily they get chance to recover.

Utter crap 40 minutes. A tall fullback on the wing with a small centre inside him being made to look embarrassed. I feel for Max.

Sorry mate stay with it its game over at half time

I saw that. Our forwards are very slow back. I know these rules are making it harder but we simply aren't as fit as we need to be

Not fit. Being there TO receive the ball is a help though

Trinity pack lack the size and strength of the Catalan. Not sure starting with Kyle Wood was a better option than utilising Jordan Crowther there whose size and physicality may have helped more in the first half. Once players getting tired then bring on Kyle Wood....

Still playing Tanginoa out of position at prop and still getting smashed whenever he drives it in...
