Selection Strategy

While I will not post my first weeks team just yet - I am waiting for Ireland to hopefully announce their squad before the deadline tonight - I have been tinkering and have come up with an interesting strategy.

For those regulars to Test Rugby, you'll no doubt be aware that the highest scorers inevitably come from your front row, loosies, halves, and occassionally outside backs. Centers and locks are always a money pit that usually yields comparatively little. So, I have decided to go with cheap, no-name brands at lock and center, freeing up cash for the important position; thus far I can report I have all the marquee names I want.

And that's not to say you can't find great locks and centers for cheap - look at Andrew's early bargain post and scour the lower recesses of the position listings. There's some great players there.
