Fantasy Rugger: Picking my 1st XV
Fantasy Rugger is here on Rugby Pass, and we want all of of you to join us in what will be a fantastic addition to The Rugby Championship. It's free to play and really easy to get set up. In fact, Jamie Wall managed to do it all by himself:
Here's my starting XV for my team, Beaudy's Kicking Boots:
As you can see, I've gone for a mix of all of the Rugby Championship sides. Why? Because I think the Springbok/Pumas match will be a bit of a shootout, so players are going to be able to rack up a few attacking points in that one.
My key man is, of course, Beauden Barrett. He's rocks and diamonds when it comes to kicking, so I'm just hoping he wakes up on the right side of bed on the day of the test.
Codie Taylor has been named to replace Dane Coles, so I've put him in my team. Looking back at the Lions series, Taylor was given a lot of ball and used in basically the same role Coles has. He even got a try in the first test.
So there's my starting XV, reckon you can do better?

Lawrence/Slade is a settled combination - Slade is just not in great form atm, and given his age is unlikely to be at his best in 2027.
I think for the 6N, Lawrence/Slade is likely the best combo, but in the summer when Lawrence goes to the Lions we need to try out a young 12 or two with a view to replacing Slade long term.
