As in best overall player rating? in which case it's probably not the best team All depends as well. I'll play the strongest possible team imo.
Preseason injuries don't carry over to the regular season so he's only out for your 2nd preseason game.

Dw folks this hasn't gone. Been busy with life (exams etc.) but looking at finishing the pre season off and starting soon (last exam on Wednesday). Will get the main season fixtures up (with internationals) during simmage of the preason no doubt

On a positive note, there doesn't seem to be any consistent issues in the simmage. I'll slam out the rest of the pre season games tomorrow and then the real season can begin. How keen is everyone on international games? I guess what I want to know is, do we want quite an extensive international scene as well (i.e 4 nations, 6 nations, tours etc.) or just have the odd game here and there?
Sounds good. I'll organise the full season fixtures tomorrow. I have the amount of players for each country somewhere but from memory, New Zealand, Australia, England, France, Ireland, Wales all had enough players, can't remember if Scotland did or not - was pretty close. Will probably have an Islands team as well. The managers are decided as explained below, so basically those best suited will end up with roles:
Sorry folks, everything's been simmed/ done actually. The GF came over so had to switch to LBP2 to keep her happy haha. Will post tomorrow.
