The Virtual / Fantasy Super 14 Rugby Thread

[Shayne]

Right ladies and gentlemen.


The biggest virtual rugby game in the world is ready to roar back into action for the 2006 Rebel Sport Super 14 season. It's Telecom Virtual Rugby and it's back with a new name - formerly Virtual Super 12. So psyche yourself up and register for Telecom Virtual Rugby because the competition is going to be intense.

Not only are there two new teams battling it out on-field in the Rebel Sport Super 14, but we're expecting more than 130,000 players to line up with you in the quest for Telecom Virtual Rugby glory.
And we've gone all out to make sure New Zealand's ultimate virtual rugby champion gets the recognition they deserve.

For the first time, the winner of Telecom Virtual Rugby's Super 14 competition will be awarded a trophy modelled on the actual Rebel Sport Super 14 trophy.

Even better, they'll be driving it away in a fantastic Ford previously driven by the captain of their favourite Rebel Sport Super 14 team. Click here (http://www.ford.co.nz/telecomvirtualrugby/) to see which new Ford your team's captain is driving this season.

Now that's something to shout about. So click here to register now (http://www.telecomvirtualrugby.co.nz/Go.aspx?ice=UHViPVppbTEyaW5jaGVyLTEzOTI*), let your mates know, and get cracking on setting up your own personal leader-boards so you can go head-to-head with your mates.

Good luck and good picking!

Ivy how the hell - i'll bet you said well everyone is chosing those so i'll pick opposites..
dammmit!!

at least my old man is tie with me now so thats one consolation!
and whats with the blues guys!!

[Poison]

I just go with the heart in my choices..:smiley36: :smiley36:
Don't talk to me about the Blues.. :smiley35:
They lost me alot of cash.. Bastards..:smiley35: :smiley35:

[Aboriginal]

Getting competitive. I like it. No sure bets this early in the season! The stormers are letting me down (not surprising really) and those #@5!:smiley35: Brumbies! I can't bet anymore on V bookie. fuck gambling! Fuckers! I can't even steal properly!

[biffon]

either the sharks are really inconsistent or the chiefs are really BAD.. i cant work it out untill the cheetahs play a quality side..

does that make sense?

[Shayne]

The Cheetahs are pretty good. I think they played the Bulls in the final of the Currie Cup if i'm not mistaken.

They 100% will not be in the bottom 3 this year.

[Aboriginal]

The cheetahs could be the surprise package. I thought the Sharks looked like they might have something with a few older players with experience (Percy the gayman does not count!) No one team seems to be looking firmly in gear at the moment except perhaps the Waratahs. Goes to show team on paper counts for little. I'm a little disappointed in the Force though but Mitchell has done well so far with respectability in year 1 I suppose

[Adam]

Deffinitly the Cheetah's and the Force will struggle through the first season, they will need to form a strong foundation in the first year, find there form between players as well as with the coach. There's 12 teams with good experience and skill and they are going to need to match there standards and performence. Although the Cheetah's pulled off a win this weekend which will be good for the teams spirit as new comers.

[Moses]

The Cheetah's won the Currie Cup this year, beating the Bulls 29-25 in the final.

Which SA team do you think will get relegated this year? I'm thinking the Sharks or the Cats... One thing for sure is the SED will suck a lot more than any of the current 5 teams :)

Are we going to run a fantasy rugby scene for the super 14`s starting February 2nd??? It is operated from NZ! Here is the link...

[Steve]

Looks like no one is interested! Topic closed :smiley13:

[Shayne]

Last year we had about 10 or so TCB members that joined the http://www.telecomvirtualrugby.co.nz/Home.aspx fantasy rugby. I reckon we'll go the same route this year too.

[sally]

sounds good to me!!

Sorry nothing to do with fantasy rugby. But I did want to help Steve out with his missing angel he mentions in his signature. Dude, you should have given her a red bull. Red bull gives you wings! Then you would not have lost her.

[Shayne]

Steve. I merged your thread with our old one so we can keep track of it. Its all virtual / fanatasy ruby so rather have one thread than 15 laying round and noone knows whats going on.

[Steve]

I bow to your superior knowledge! :whistling:
