CPL Rugby Union

I think Genia is probably a better player than Farrell/Sexton, but certainly my logic behind picking Sexton is that I wanted a top class fly half, because if they're goal kicking they're probably the most important player on the pitch and given that I wasn't going to be picking again 24 picks, I wasn't confident I was going to get anywhere near one.

I like how Southern Hemisphere members have gone mostly for Southern Hemisphere players and Northern Hemisphere members have gone mostly for Northern Hemisphere players.

Now if only NH rugby was as good as SH rugby...

 

It's almost like two different games though in that SH people don't follow the NH stuff and vice verse though, so it's to be expected. I've tried to be balanced, just gone overs on the Aussies as imvho nobody else wanted to touch them.

 

McLean your backup 10?

 

Also Rego if there's a format you'd like the teams listed in, do say, because it's much easier for us to change it individually than for you to have to do all of them.

 

How come you've got 28 Baxter. Thought we only were allowed 26 draft picks?
