Man they are both very good sides!!..I seriously don't know who will win, I hope Auckland do though cos I picked them in telecom virtual super14

[~lee~]

Why isnt Daniel Carter playing?

[Go_The_Doggies]

Hes in the conditioning programe..

[~lee~]

Do you know how long he will be out for? Im doing my virtual team and trying to get 15 starters. I need a kicker too, any tips?

[Go_The_Doggies]

He wont be playing for atleast 6-7 weeks..

Jimmy Gopperth is a pretty good kicker.

[~lee~]

Cheers mate, whats the chances of Clinton kicking for the reds?

[Go_The_Doggies]

Umm you'll have to ask a reds supporter that lol.

Yep will do

I probably wont do them till thursday though, or whenever the team lists are out.

[BrisbaneBroncosRule]

I thought Huxley played well against the Chiefs. If/When Larkham returns, who will play fly-half?

[Social Loafer]

Bill Young.
