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
Right, so this is the team of which players aren't going to be Hurricanes this week: Kitshoff - the easy picks this year are Kitshoff, Tupou and Alaalatoa at prop, who will probably be top 3.

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.

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.

#SuperRugbyScout Week 6 picks from Feastjuice: Captain - This is a real coin flip this week. You've got to think Lam is due a couple of tries.

Lam by a neck as the more … Continue reading Fantasy Super Rugby @TheRugbyMag – Week 6 Line-ups

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.

Below are our picks for Week 4: Kitshoff - the big ginger is a week in week out rock.Codey Taylor - Highlanders scrum looks weak and therefore he might score this week front the line-outs close to the try line.
