The gang are back to chat about the weekend's games and how the Highlanders' scrum led to a roof being built. Thanks to Adam (unintentionally), another name is added to the ranks of the ERB Crew of Specially Nicknamed Players. Everyone also picks their best/worst teams of the season thus far, and a stand-out player. Music from bensound.com and image courtesy of JaumeBG, at the below address under...

Matt is back to help Alex, Ben and Adam figure out how to deal with their epic playing stocks crisis, with a sub-plot being trusting Sunwolves coach Mad Dog Joseph to be somewhat consistent in his team choice. Again, what could possibly go wrong? Music from bensound.com.

Ben is back! He joins Alex, Matt and Adam with his whiskey to check out Do You Like Daggs? excellent performance from the previous week's Fantasy action. Izzy Folau is sent to the sheds and a debate emerges about who is better between the Prince that was Promised and Michael Hooper. Music from bensound.com.

Alex, Matt and Adam survey the week's Super 15 games, where Ben's anger towards the Sharks inspired them to greatness, while Brodie Retallick is just being Brodie (aka Freaking Awesome) and Kwagga cannot be trusted to build a stage for others. Music from bensound.com.

Adam, Alex and Matt try again to rescue another tough week in the predictions stakes by channeling the voice of Ben from Tax, who is off sick. Also, the conditions to be on I Told You So Island are clarified so there is no confusion. Music from bensound.com.

The gang return to survey the wreckage that was the Lions' loss to the Jaguares, the Bulls bad/good tour, why rugby is game of balance, and Vince Aso doing justice to wings everywhere by soaring like an eagle. Also, Ben doesn't like the Saaks. Music from bensound.com.

Fox kept up their end of the bargain by updating on a Monday, so Matt, Ben, Alex, and Adam take a crack at uniting the Ioane brothers, and backing a Barrett to do some damage against the Rebels. Music from bensound.com.

Ben, Matt, Alex (better late than never), and Adam review the Marx, the bad, and the ugly from the Fantasy side they field for week four of the Super 15. There was much debate about who the right person is to replace Isi Naisarani, and whether Jamie Joseph will pick his next starting XV off the street. Sound from bensound.com.

Alex, Matt, Ben, and Adam assess the wreckage that was their Superbru picks for week 3, and Alex memorably lets loose on the Brumbies, the genesis of which (apparently) is Rob Valentini's injury in round one (?). Also, cricket sneaks a mention. Music from bensound.com.

The gang review the previous week's Super 15 action, including the #YearOfAkira continuing, Akker van der Merwe making a fist of being the Bok's number two no 2, and there is the cursory mention of American Football, and wrestling (Matt's fault obviously). Comment, rate and like where you can plese! Music by bensound.com.

Matt, Ben, and Adam chat about the Fantasy week that's been (including Ben's truly disastrous decision to leave Reiko Ioane on his draft bench).

Ben, Matt, and Adam look at the coming weekend's games, with Alex mailing in his feedback since he had a social engagement on a Sunday.

Music from bensound.com.

Matt (this week's MVP for technical reasons), Alex, Ben, and Adam talk about how we are living in the Golden Age of the Try Scoring Prop, why Keegan Daniel is the worst, and what rugby can learn from American football. Music from bensound.com.
