Fantasy Rugger: Key picks for the weekend
By RugbyPass
Set your team for week two of The Rugby Championship yet? Here's a few key things you might want to consider before kicking back and hopefully watching your side rack up the points:
- Adam Coleman is out for the Wallabies and Izack Rodda will start at number eight. Rodda is an absolute steal at $4.5m and will get some points on the board no matter what considering he'll be at the back of the scrum and getting his hands on the ball.
- Can Ryan Crotty replicate his monster numbers in week one? Probably, given that the All Blacks won't deviate from the plan that worked so well in their 54-34 hiding of the Wallabies. Playing at centre is opening up a massive amount of room for Crotty, so another try will be on the cards at least.
- Make some room and snap up Dane Coles. The hooker is essentially another loose forward, or centre, or wing for the All Blacks. Whatever you have to do, get him in your front row.
- Juan Martin Hernandez is a good pick for your bench. Los Pumas a home are a different beast to the ones who play away, so the first five's stats will be inflated with this advantage.
- Francois Hougaard will be heavily involved. The man who splits his time between halfback and wing is noted for his running game, so he's a good pick to score some metres in the Boks' match with the Pumas.

Don't blame Gatland, these are the players he inherited. Blame the WRU, who for years have been slowly destroying Welsh rugby! It is they, lock stock & barrel, who should resign!
