Here are my picks on who select this weekend.
The Rugby Championship 2013 is nearly over and for those people playing fantasy rugby games like www.testrugby.com it will be difficult expecting to make up too many placings. It is great finally having some trades again after having the odd inactive player in my team in Round 4. In the final round of the Rugby Championship I thought I would chance my arm and go for glory, so here are my selections.
Here are the Rugby Championship Round 6 team lists named

The Rugby Championship Round 6 Players to Watch
Instead of giving you a list of players you could buy if you had the trades and budget, I thought I would let you know what I am doing with my team.
1) Bismarck du Plessis in for Adriaan Strauss. I already own Stephen Moore and so am bringing in Bismarck du Plessis because he has a score to settle against the All Blacks. He is a powerhouse and although he shares minutes with Adriaan Strauss he will still score plenty of points. Did you know that he made the Team of the Round in the game against the All Blacks even though he only played about half a game?
2) Jean de Villiers in for JJ Engelbrecht. Engelbrecht has been an affordable option at midfield back throughout the Rugby Championship, especially with budget constraints. Unfortunately he is in doubt for this match. I was torn whether to go for Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu or Jean de Villiers, but have decided to splash out and go for de Villiers since he has been in great form recently and is the top centre (only just) in the competition.
3) Pablo Matera in for Francois Louw. To afford my change in the midfield, I have to select Matera from Argentina. He is a promising young player and costs a little over $500,000. While Francois Louw is highly regarded in real life, he doesn't play a style suited to scoring big points in www.testrugby.com Matera has a higher average points per game record and is half the price of Louw.
Here is my www.testrugby.com team

OB Ben Smith NZL 490 1745 $1,242,500 SELL
OB Willie Le Roux SAF 330 1270 $925,000 SELL
There are plenty of tough decisions to be made but here is my team. I have resisted the urge to bring in Richie McCaw or Kieran Read, instead relying on Duane Vermuelen to dominate the loose forwards. Scott Fardy and Willie Le Roux have been the best value players, while I am sticking with Ben Smith ahead of Julian Savea.
I am sticking with Cruden and Steyn, even though Quade Cooper scored plenty of points last week.
