Champions League Final - The Best is Crowned

[Holz]

well Goldy isnt rucking against Campbell.

but Minson is not in so he is up against forward Redpath.

who he has like a 8cm height advantage against.

I think you'll find he'll be rucking against Jordan Roughead actually Holz.

Who he only has a 1cm height advantage on.

Probably a combo of both. Your right more Roughead.  Who isnt that good either.

115 last week on sandi I think he should be fine.

[meow meow]

Both wrong. Biggs is our new ruckman ::)

CHRISTCHURCH SAINTS

B: Harris Andrews, Sam Gilbert, Sean Dempster, Dylan Roberton
M: Sam Mitchell, Matthew Boyd, Hamish Hartlett (VC), Luke Shuey
R: Aaron Sandilands (C)
F: Shaun McKernan, Jake Stringer, Tory Dickson, Jamie Elliott
I: Liam Picken, Dayne Zorko

E: Ben Reid, Jake Lever, Jeff Garlett

[Memphistopheles]

Another interesting week of captains and vice captains from meow.

No Sandilands as C or VC seems like a foolish move.

Also who set the d.i.c.k swear filter to say Richard

Tory Richardson lol...

I think including the Top 8 from each XV league is too many. Make it the Top 4 (from this season' send of year results not next year at the time the CL starts and have 16 teams. Split in to 4 groups of 4 then play a home and away game against each team in that group.

I'd prefer this setup for next year as well. It makes it more elite which is what the competition is about IMO. I guess the downside is you would probably have less people interested in it.

who would have been the top 4 from the worlds though?

Dublin PNL Saints Suns all made the final 8. Would they have been the 4 who made it into the comp?

The Saints captain in Sam Mitchell is gone, got to feel for Meow.

Im not calling it yet but its certainly advantage Dublin.

For subsequent seasons we will go off either who finished in the Top 4 spots on each XV competition's ladder or, more likely, who made the preliminary finals in that competition.

So under either scenario Dublin, PNL, Saints and Suns would be the WXV representatives next season.

Likewise for British with Winchester, Huddersfield, Liverpool and Hastings finishing Top 4 and being the prelim finalists.

And the same for Europe with Macedonian Wolves, Svalbard Vikings, English Lions and Serbian Eagles finishing Top 4 and being the prelim finalists.

The only league where there would be a difference would be Asian XVs:

Under the 1st scenario (ladder positions) it would be UAE Tigers, Australian Ales, Laos Elephants and Kathmandu Eskimos for AXV.

Under the second (prelim finallist) it would be UAE Tigers, Mongolian Lambs, Laos Elephants and Sri Lanka Strikers for AXV.

[Ricochet]

Nah keep it top 8, just make it start from round 1. KL for example are a top 3 side in Asians but got smashed with injuries and finished 7th. This means it'll be 3 years before they'll be competitive in champs league comp. 2015: uncompetitive though injury, 2016: miss out due to finishing 7th, 2017: competitive in Champs League (hopefully).

[Holz]

Im having a absolute shocker.

Getting worried now.  Especially with the dogs good

Dublin 733/8 91.63 average

Im almost going to call it here. I reckon im going to lose this somehow. Despite on paper having a team that should win by 200+ points.

Ben Reid and Jamie Elliott beat Goldy + Selwood

[Holz]

Tmac Mundy + 67

SANDI (C)
