Rugby World Rankings - Rugby Championship 2024 ROUND 3 - Results and Fantasy Team of the Week

what is going on guys it's the M dragon and it's a Monday which can mean only one thing on this channel right we're going to be taking a look at the world rankings to see what a shifted up due to those games on the weekend going on in the rugby championship and elsewhere in the world to if any other teams have moved up the board then we're going to move on to the super brw go over the predictions how well did you guys get on compared to me there's going to be a rant incoming about the super brw this week be ready for that one uh and then we're going to take a look at the fantasy teams go over the team of the week what was the best possible team you guys could have gone for all that good stuff remember to hit the old like button and subscribe and what have you and we will jump straight into it so starting out with the with the world rankings the the rugby championship this week big games going on big points shifting round big officiating decisions uh in in both games man one of them enjoys for me watching the rby championship I go in as a neutral I'm not supporting any team I'm over here in Wales but I just enjoy watching the rugby but man this week officiating teams in both games somehow against all four teams I felt there was wrong decisions I felt sometimes there was just calls not made uh that were that were going on very very bizarre I've seen a lot going on in the online space about the the South Africa New Zealand game uh with Andrew brace's refereeing if you've been with the channel for long enough you'll know my thoughts on on Andrew bra somewhere on my channel way back in the day during the Autumn Nations cup there is a three hour video of me just ranting about Andrew BR I think this is a game winning whistleblow and Andrew brace calls this from 30 m away claiming he knows exactly which of the one of six people touched the ball the same man that didn't see a knock on occur 2 MERS in front of him so I don't know why people are surprised that the game has its massive controversies when he's uh when he's in he's either just not getting stuff right or will Rugby just lug him in with the with the worst officiating team around him help don't know what's going on there but you know what we're not going to dive too much into one today uh starting out then with that first game South Africa New Zealand South Africa getting that win uh take 26 away from New Zealand so they extend that lead over Ireland just a little bit going into round four of the rugby Championship New Zealand dropping down that 26 still closing in towards France but you know good bit of daylight there but you know not exactly going to be any closer to to Ireland getting into that you know that number two spot pretty securely staying in third still though uh further down the board Argentina losing to Australia didn't see that one coming uh by by a long way we didn't get to do a preview video unfortunately this week the the Australian team came out really late and I wasn't around for the announcement but I I went for Argentina I thought they were really going to take that one Argentina losing to Australia sees them drop down 1.73 because they were playing at home and the the ranking table differences as well um big blow for them sees them drop down Scotland get to move up hey well done to all you Scottish fans who back up into into sixth place Australia gaining that 1.73 see them Leap Frog over Italy into eighth place in Italy shifting down to ninth uh Samoa got a win over Tonga on the weekend taking 37 uh not jumping any places but slowly closing in towards Georgia and the USA also got a win over Canada I saw that one get announced the day um I don't think anything else going on further down but nice to have a look right just in case anything else going on the world nothing else going on further down uh so the big results really I mean South Africa is still holding up that number one spot we're getting very used to saying that now right but yeah there's the big the big drop though Argentina down by so much Australia closing in on that Gap two and you know Argentina have got South Africa coming up next to've looked they've looked good you know might end up losing a couple more points can Australia maybe get one win in the blers low cup I'm personally not that hopeful in that but if they did you know that's that would be big points you might see Australia jump up to maybe even into sixth I'm trying to think if they got you know the win in New Zealand I think that'll be a big ask but they could could well do it but we're moving on to round four always uh fun stuff to to look at when it comes through to the rugby Championship right on to the predictor then how did we all get on South Africa uh took this one by four uh I said South Africa by five I was pretty close only one away and uh I think in the previous video I said three so I I went one point either way and I I didn't pick the middle ground should have been the thing that I did but not ended up going my way uh how many people went for South Africa uh quite a few I thought this one might be kind of 50/50 split um but uh I don't know the sort of demographics people that are involved with the the super I thought maybe this would be quite 50/50 uh where did you want to be down here uh sou good by four four people got it bang on well done to you guys uh highland cow exqu Elward and Scottish squid all of you guys taking the four unfortunately you only get 25 as a as a bonus because all four of you got it but you know it's still more points it's all useful for you how many people win for new WoW six people I I thought it would be more I thought more than six people would go for for New Zealand uh I thought this one actually might be more towards 50/50 because you know it's New Zealand they always they always turn up for the for the big fixtures but nope a lot of people going for South Africa in that one Argentina versus Australia man oh man who's ready for a rant who's ready for a madrack and rant out the super Brew um I thought Argentina would take this one I Australia have looked shaky so far I thought Argentina comeing with a big game here loaded up on the 62 on the bench I was like there going to be forwards it's going to be raining it's just going to be an all an Argentina game 30 minutes in cracks were starting to show all across the the Australia game plan oh man Australia are Clinging On to this and Argentina are going to swarm them and I've gone for Argentina by nine it's not even going to be enough Argentina are going to go past it nope Australia won by one point I and I still don't really know how some very very hard graft uh by the Australian forwards to to fight that one back and manag to keep them in the in the game Argentina had so much dominance in so many areas they got a scrum off every restart and they couldn't make it make it pay off the more important one I'm going to be annoyed by though Thomas gajo not managing to put the ball down when you got over the TR why didn't you do that I would have got so many points from this one and he just managed to get that one down I can't believe he got over the TR line and didn't didn't do it down there we are so uh Argentina not uh not taking anything from this one for me I got absolutely nothing from this game uh how many people went for Australia a few people did go for Australia actually 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 about 10 people went for for Australia um where did you want to be at the top here David Wakefield and rugger you guys both went off of two you guys slightly off but you were the closest uh so you guys split the five a couple of people went lowend Argentina as well also getting the the half bonus points going all the way out here to mam Cuda went for Australia by 25 great confidence in Australia for that one I I really thought Argentina were going to take this which means terms of the round then uh All Blacks forever uh comes in with uh taking the top spot on I don't feel like I've said your name all blacks whatever throughout those two games but coming in top spot you just got to get those those calls correct it's a massive bonus already uh you finish on three points Gaz linati uh also getting the three points from two from Two and rugger also getting the two from two on the three points the TDM only separating you guys but you know an all joint first or a you know shared 1 through three whatever you want to we'll classify as I'll leave you guys to decide uh that 11 David mam castler all of you guys finishing on 2.5 getting those two wins from two an octal micro the last person to get the the two calls correct but only finishing on two points not getting quite within the the range uh Bear game is going to start us out with the uh the one win from Two and I imagine that will be a lot of us scrolling down there's me so much further down than I thought I was going to be uh did anyone get zero games oh a couple people got zero games V farell got zero games wow that's not that's quite unusual for Villa Farrell legal kiwi also getting Zero from from two as well all the way down to L Capitan uh so taking a look at the leaderboard uh mamama cast studler holding out that number one space on on Seven Points All Blacks forever climbs 22 places at this round on Six Points Gaz liati climbing 26 places on Six Points David climbs 10 on Six Points big brain climbs two on six points and in also on six points but dropping down two places so second place is just a brutal place to be uh that's going to be mad going ahead into round four mud has got a bit of bit of daylight ahead of you now now I've dropped down into seventh I've dropped down two places into seventh on my 5.75 now to reiterate why I'm annoyed because I actually kept track of this this weekend at the end of the South Africa game I was in second place I was just behind mam cud mam Casta was on six I was on 5.75 and all I needed to do was Argentina to win because I went for Argentina M Cuda went for Australia I was like as long as Argentina win I get to be number one in the predictor I don't think I've ever been number one in the predictor um but no no Thomas gajo didn't put the ball down so I'm down here in seventh now still not going but it's still good for me but man I'm so annoyed that I didn't manage to I thought I got my pick so right there uh th 11 climbs up 19 places up into e8th place on 5.5 pedri at 14 places into ninth on uh 5.5 Milan down three but still in the top 10 on 5.5 I think an honorable mention to exquire still on 5.5 joint with the the guys above you uh but just dropping down that wall into 11th on the on the 82 TDM a little bit of a scroll down so everyone can you know see their name any big jumpers there Elward and an octal micro both making some big jumps there Foster King down 23 places foot easy down eight fin the Russell hustle down 28 places o that is a big drop this week my friend uh Villa Farrell Zero from two mate not not not your week this week drops down 14 places coners rugby climbed up five best glamer climbed up 5j down 13 uh as we scroll down El Katan came down the the bomb of the leader board down seven all the way down to Mary Poppins who's who joined in but not not been here for the for the tournament so far uh so congratulations to All Blacks forever for for taking the round and Mama cuder for holding out that number one spot can I get back into this I'm not far behind second is not far behind a point a point and a bit difference is a lot mam Cuda can literally not get a game called correctly and still be holding that top spot for me so unfortunately I'm I'm might be struggling there but we'll get on to onto round four next week and hopefully get some points back on to the fantasy then uh we're going to do something a little bit different we're going to do the team of the week first we'll do the team of the week first and then we'll move on to it to take a look at how you guys got on so starting out in the props Department Angus Bell was your best prop of the round on 11.5 he was on my bench uh so I'm so glad I didn't play him like an idiot uh Ox Shay got 10 points for for South ARA who I did have so I'm finally got one of them gold stars in my team uh your best hooker in the green bar a lot of people uh didn't really matter which way you went with this one uh umanami and Cody Taylor both got 14.5 so you could go for either hooker I went for Malcolm Marx thinking Malcolm marks would come on in the second half and we'd have driving Mall tries and that would be the only thing South Africa would look to do nope didn't happen didn't happen at all should have gone with with bongi and Bambi for me in the yellow uh is your lock Department um there's actually almost a oh there is one perfect who got that one perfect David got the perfect setup here salak Lotto got you 9.5 and uh nor from from South Africa would have scored you nine so 18.5 was the best you could do in the lock Department David the only person to to get it correct there in your back row uh in your uh in your red bar here there was uh some really really big calls going on here so uh valtini was your best back rower of the round also on my bench uh on 16.5 quag Smith came on and actually made a good impact on 13.5 took the third place and Yas Visa would have got you 14 points as well so yeah you had to be looking at the bench for that one in order to get in the in the top three as well best scrum half of the round on 10.5 uh myself and a Tai the only people to to go from in the top top 10 there uh was Jake Gordon uh from Australia on 10.5 best fly half of the round Sasha fineberg and Gaz Zulu 28.5 if he made him kicker and you can see that big wall of purple ooo big scores going on there I went for Santiago Carreras I I thought maybe I do more kicks not not the right way to go about that Center partnership uh in the dark blue there uh Jordie Barrett on 16 also on my bench um and Len katow on eight so your best you could have got was uh 24 and a couple people actually there David W got 24 uh your fave prop also got 24 well done to you guys uh and then your best back three really weird backs this this week um very very low SC scoring uh your best outright of the round Caleb Clark on 17.5 uh will Jordan on eight which feels really low uh for for seeing the back three and then Tom Wright on 10 uh really low in terms of your your gry bar so picking a forward as the captain was actually maybe the better way to to go this week I went for for will Jordan didn't get me a great deal of points uh so who took the the top spot of the round big brain coming in on 160.5 well done to to you Scottish squid only half a point behind on 160 and then your F prop taking that third place on 1565 I think the like the community like average on super brw was like like 15 or something it was really low so you know all these scores are are really really big Foster King taking fourth place on 150 points uh fifth place goes to David on 149.5 David Wakefield the two Davids together on 149 there as well sha in seventh place on 142.5 highland cow on 142 uh myself on 140.5 and a Tai sealing up that top 10 on should have got another 13 had he have put that ball down and had he I got another 13 I would have had 153 i' have been right up there i' would have been in fourth place put the ball down not to be not to be maybe next round um I'll have bit of a scroll down so everyone can uh can see their name and what have you and and where you finished off and then we'll take a look at the leaderboard so annoyed it didn't work for me couple of other calls I went for just wrong um I I took off Jordi Barrett for choco Barz I wanted to have an inan Center in I thought they'd really try and punish the Midfield um and I was like do I get rid of Jesse creel do I get rid of um Jordy Barrett like Jordi Barrett's been okay but I'll I'll give an Argentinian AG go it was Jordi Barrett's highest scoring game of the of the whole tournament uh and also going for Marks over umber nambi uh trying to be too smart don't do it don't use your head in the fantasy it doesn't work for you uh so where do we end up in terms of the leaderboard then big brain coming in there with his big brain uh takes the top spot up three places on 52 points Jack Reynolds uh drops down one place but on a 9 493 still a really good score and then Avalon 87 also down one on 490 David Wakefield having a having a good Fant to see this tournament climbs at five places on 48.5 joint with a tie it feels weird to have joint scores this leads into the into the tournament as well on 48.5 Villa Farrell Still Holding Out sixth place on 4725 David climbs up eight places up into seventh on 470 wombat 999 holds out eighth on 465 foot Yeezy dropping down six places with his Purple Crown oh boy big brains coming for the Purple Crown this year and 4 163.5 and then PR azavedo sealing out our top 10 on 47.5 uh only one point ahead of me I climbed at five places is pretty good what happens if I add my 13 points if Thomas gazra put down the ball i' have been on 459 uh 469 sorry I'd have moved into the top eight I'd have been in top eight I'm sure I'll get over it I'm sure I'll get take a bit of a scroll down then everyone can see where they are currently on the leaderboard uh any big movies and Jumers Island Cow went up by six Finn the Russell hustle went up by six better in the fantasy few Finn the Russell hustle than in the predictor uh Clansman dropped down six uh Chris dropped down 11 unfortunately for you there Chris uh All Blacks forever dropping down one he's doing well in the in the predictor but didn't didn't get super involved with the with the fantasy this year um so congratulations to Big Brain all around uh for for doing it once again oh he such a massive competitor in the in the fantasy league you are a bit of a a bit of a monster added uh winning the round and taking that top spot as we go into uh into round four I feel like I might be slightly Out Of Reach 50 points is a lot to come back from in in in three rounds we'll see how we how we get on uh but if I can get into that top 10 by the end of the by the end of the R Championship I will be happy with that and I'll just still curse Thomas G out in my own private life behind behind the closed dos but thank you to every who is joining in with the fantasy guys hopefully you've enjoyed this one today sorry I've rambled on a bit a bit longer than
