[Brumbies_05]

My team at the start of season 5 is
1 Os Du Rout (Great forward much better than both your props)
2 Jeremey Paul (heaps good runner of the ball from pop passes)
3 Greg Sommerville (Great forward much better than both your props)
4 Victor Matfield (never misses a line out)
5 Chris Jack (same as above)
6 Shalk Buger (Not as good as in real life)
7 George Smith (awsome mad defence and attack)
8 Richard McCaw (good runner)
9 Matt Giteau (very quick from the back of the ruck)
10 Carlos Spencer (Not as god as Jonny or O'Gara but nice and cheap)
11 Loti Tuqiri (the best wing breaks 70% of tackles)
12 Tana Umaga (dosent do much for me not quick enough)
13 Brian O'Driscoll (sick player all ways straight through that gap)
14 Jason Robinson (very fast but always loses the ball when tackeled on the wing)
15 Doug Howlett ( I think the best player in the game )

16 Ali Williams (Good)
17 Kees Meaus (Great forward much better than both your props)
18 Rodney So'oloia (good defence and runner of the ball)
19 Steve Thompson (Great runs so well into the forwards)
20 Stirling Mortlock (Good swap him with Tana all the time)
21 Rupien Caucau (so fast him and robinson swap every game)
22 Matt Rogers (Can Play anywere in the backs handy to have)

P.Vickery and B.Young have much better stats then Os Du Rout and Greg Sommerville.

Get Martin Johnson instead of Bortolami, get a better 13, such as Brian O'Driscoll, and dump Matt Rodgers for someone decent like Jason Robinson. Also consider getting Howlett, Thompson and McCaw. And a better 10.

How do you find your games with these excellent teams?

 

[Cymru Am Byth]

van nierkirk is best 7 in the game 84 spd
his cover tackling is fucing awsome

 

[BOKean]

yeah, hes good, unless you want a decent scrum, he only weighs 85kg. tiny. he plays wing aswell, so hes usefull on the bench

 

[SaintsFan_Webby]

Bergamasco kept turning me over when I played Stade Francais (Paris). I found I had to change my whole style of play to adapt to his speed between breakdowns.

Aren't there 2 Bergamasco's? I though that they are brothers, one is a winger and the other is a flanker.

no its the same person. john kerwin tryed turning him into a wing, but hes originally a flanker...

 

[abes58]

I've got Du Preez as Scrum Half. Really quick, plus with his great kicking you can do the kicking with him and not have to have an expensive Stand Off.

 

[Los Lover]

Have finished fourth season on HARD (not sure if you guys are talking about ridiculous Normal level or not...can't see how that's remotely satisfying - stick with hard and you should suss getting good enough if you are a half-decent gamer....

Just won 1st Division ***le and collected trophy...team not all buys....

but I have:

Os Du Randt
Victor Matfield
Ape Naevo
Joe Van Niekirk

in the forwards..

AND

my backline is:

9. Pichot (best Halfback in game satistically along with Paul Stringer and Gregan)
10. Me! (1st V, Centre, Wing - kicker) - 44 points.
11. Caucaunibuca (97 speed)
12. Tuilevu (89 speed, 93 acceleration)
13. BOD (need I say more really)
14. Ohata (98 speed - fastest player in the game)
15. Jason Robinson (90 speed, 99 acceleration or agility)

Only Tuilevu could possibly be replaced and only Howlett and Wilkinson added - I would shift to second-five and Wilkinson into first - Howlett would replace Robinson at FB and then JR would cover wing and FB from the bench w/ Tuilevu covering centres and other wing too....perfect.

I won the first Division trophy though w/out Pichot, Robinson and Naevo - all of whom I have not played a game with yet as I used winning points to help purchase them....you get 100 points for winning the 1st Division, 60 for winning second and forty for the third division (from memory)....

Can still lose though which is refreshing...Crusaders rolled me 33-27 in my last game but the two points (within 7 points and four try bonus) meant I'd fought hard and anyway I still won easily from the Wasps in second place....

BOD was a try-scoring machine....but not in the way you guys will be relentlessly scoring half-arsed tries in Normal mode......Hard doesn't let you play to a relentless pattern of repeating a trick. No offense, but i don't know why anyone would bother with normal level....except in one on ones etc...

 

[ALLBLACKS]

yes there are two bergamascos theyre brothers one plays flanker and winger the other plays full back

 

[top gun]

J Robinson
D Howlett
S Mortlock
B O'Driscoll
M Rogers
J Wilkinson
G Gregan
R Soialo
R McCaw
G Smith
M Johnson
C Jack


and the original front row. Yeah Howlett is the man on this game & so is Andrew Mehrtens, he kicks the furtherest. Jonnys place kicking is by far the best!

 

[FijiRugbyFan9]

Darn...Let me see if I can remember my fowards but I know my Wings and Centers...i did some rearranging with peoples positions and stuff

WGs: Rupeni Caucau and Jovesa Naivalu
CTs: Sereli Bobo and Sailosi Tagicakabau

 

[TheDell]

Caucaunibuca got injured and has been out for two seasons. Maybe he's having a kidney transplant or something. Hope he doesn't die.

Another thing- Can anyone tell me why its only showing me the 3rd DivisionTrophy, The Knockout Cup trophy and the 1st Div trophy in my trophy cabinet? I've completed everything without losing a match. Is there supposed to be a 2nd Div Trophy there?
