Unless you’re a secret agent or Batman I think you’ll be OK.

I thought I'd put an Englishman in my team in the spirit of things. Just so happens that Englishman was Tom Curry.

What happened with Himeno? I picked him too and he was listed in their starting XV. Did he pull out late?

Between him, Woki and Kerevi, I got a sum total of 12 points!!!

I also fecked up by picking a Samoan player, who because Samoa didn't play at weekend didn't get any points in round one.

Unfortunately not. I’m currently 5379th with 914 pts in total. The leader has 1164 pts :o I still have eight players still to play this round though.

Wonder if the leaders have all played their bonuses already. Wish I had this week. Captaining Roigard was a good move but it could have been massive.

Triple captain. Was a good decision I feel.

Have played a lot of my team already this week so some reversion to come.

Not sure how this captain scoring works, doesn't seem to be double points. I had Ramos as captain and got 128 points, where as his normal score seemed to have been 87.
