stupid s14 fantasy rugby has still got victor matfeild as a choice, when i chose him scrached my head and looked it up but forgot to swap him before the deadline on friday

great team list though it would make a great SH Bar-bars

Aside from 13. De Wet Barry blows big time. Umaga and Ben Tune are much better than he is. But I suppose since its from a South African page its going to be a little biased.

Where has Josh Blackie gone? Ex Highlanders captain, loose forward. Met him last year at the season launch at Burswood. Good footballer but he maybe realised he would never join the rest of NZ and play for the All Blacks.

Victor starts in round six....if you can afford him, he'll score big points!
