@Sportsdeck_AU Fantasy Super Rugby #SuperRugbyScout Week 7 Picks


Below are my picks for week 7: Tupou - Reds at home, season pick, move on.I want to pick Dane Coles here, but the reality is he's $240k and you don't want to spend that on a hooker. So whilst if you have the luxury take Coles, Creevy at home should be solid, and also … Continue reading @Sportsdeck_AU Fantasy Super Rugby #SuperRugbyScout Week 7 Picks

Fantasy Super Rugby Week 2 Roundup @Sportsdeck_AU


So week 2 is in the books. Pretty low scoring round with only a handful of managers scoring more than 500, and most under the 400 mark. Still, there were some stand out performances and takeaways: Playing the match-ups is as risky as ever - you can pick the teams - Jags / Crusaders / … Continue reading Fantasy Super Rugby Week 2 Roundup @Sportsdeck_AU

Top Scorer of the Week - Hatrick Hero Fainga'a 65 points If there's one thing that's been constant this year (apart from the challenge of player rotation and pre world cup rests) it's been the inconsistency of results.

What a week. Sunwolves with their first away win, and the SA conference producing all sorts of weird results.

Another great week of Super Rugby, with fantasy veteran Folau coming through for many, and his Waratah team mates raining points against the Sunwolves. However, the usual smattering of eggs were laid by big fantasy names, most significantly the Ioane brothers. Such is a Fantasy Managers life. It would be remiss of us to point … Continue reading Fantasy Super Rugby Week 2: Don’t Touch, Pause, Engage.

Week 2 Dream Team. (This is a team for this week only) Captaining Havili not Korobeite this week, just couldn't change it on Sportsdeck before the post as it was locked in.
