Rugby, but I don’t know the non national teams to be able to answer with their names.

It's Rugby but I don't know the teams...but I would expect them to do the Haka at some point in the game!

[JeremyD]

NOt sure how many get in this, but if I'm top 200, that'll be a good one for me

 

[daviddvm]

Talk about a pre-game warm up!

[tony@CIC]

Holy moly - were there enough golfers to pick from in Group 6??

Nearly but not quite, it's actually Rugby League and the teams are both from Sydney Australia (Roosters and Cronulla Sharks) so no Hakas

So what is the difference between rugby and rugby league.   I also knew no Haka since that is reserved for New Zealand.

I will gladly accept delivery of the Last place trophy... How many people will we have will have all 6 golfers get cut, or DQ'd?

I had no clue on the Sharks. I'm pretty sure SBW played for the Roosters at one point, which is pretty much the only reason I recognized the uniform. I only know enough to know that I know basically nothing about the NRL.

Rugby league has fewer players on the field (13 vs 15), is a bit freer in play, and generally everyone's roughly the same body type. You get 6 tackles to score, or you have to turn the ball over. Score values are lower than in union, and the field looks kinda like an old time American Football field with the posts on the goal line rather than at the back of the end zone. After a tackle, you have to drop back 10 yards before making the next tackle unless you were involved (I think, I don't understand the play-the-ball).

Rugby Union has no tackle limit; you can take as many carries as you wish to try and score. You also have more competitive restarts in rugby union than in league, so you have a bit more variety in body type; You have football linemen for the front row of your scrum, basketball centers for lineouts, and then the tiny guy who looks out of place on the team to run from tackle to tackle and get the ball out and moving again. Pretty much if the ball is in bounds, you can fight over it. They're very different games, in the end.

Awesome. Highest score gets a prize too right?

I picked my players but when I enter any contest unfortunately it's like the kiss of death for the players. God help my selections.

[Bjorns Boys]

I seem to be so bad at this, every single major.   But....I'll keep trying

I seem to have the same issue.   IF those players only knew the power I have to jinx them, they would pay me to NOT select them in the contest.

[JAGolfore]

game on,  here is my team.... scroll down to see my picks. 

[Berg Ryman]

Trying again... seems very unlikely I come close to winning.

[chadley300]

Entered.  Thank you.

[toehold57]

Yes!  Another meaningless entry into a contest I will never win!

I'm in (Aceless), but I don't think I'll win...these things are always luck, and I just don't have any, but we'll see.

From all the moaning and groaning about picking losers, it would be easy to win if I just knew who y'all picked.

I’d even change my picks but the site never sends me the link to allow me to make edits.  To help you out my picks are the guys you think will win but end up playing poorly.
