I have noticed that Pavilionaire should have been given 2 points for the France 23:21 Argentina match (he predicted a draw). The next league table will show the amendment.

Congratulations to [MENTION=34973]Lindfield23[/MENTION] who got their prediction spot-on.

Interesting that nobody saw the absolute mullering that Ireland would be giving Scotland. Cannot believe how rubbish the team that made that spectacular comeback against England in the Six Nations have been today.

Yellow card for Ireland, come on Scotland pull your fingers out in the last 10 mins. PATHETIC performance so far

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Here are the points after the Ireland v Scotland match:


[MENTION=617]Jim D[/MENTION] and [MENTION=8619]Guy Fawkes[/MENTION] were the closest by predicting an Ireland winning margin of 18.

 

[Icy Gull]

Thanks [MENTION=16461]The Brighton Bear[/MENTION], I am now more interested in predicting the scores right than supporting teams, normally I love seeing Scotland being rolled over!

I am fully expecting to be willing England to stop scoring, or worse for Tonga to score if they get anywhere near my prediction! It’s not right

 

[Algernon]

Just watching the start of the Tonga game.
What could England do to "intimidate" the opposition before kick off?
What could we have as our Haka?

Teams should only be allowed to do their Haka on home soil, pointless otherwise

[Icy Gull]

Not a fan of this ref so far

 

[Hamilton]

I thought the ref was spot on with that high tackle decision though.

He was, in fairness he has had a good game overall

 

[Icy Gull]

Far too many handling errors by England

 

[Papak]

What penalty do you score if you get the winning team wrong?

I imagine it is only a matter of time...

[Hamilton]

Looks like a bad set of results for me today. From hero to zero.

 

[The Brighton Bear]

It is still the difference between your prediction and the winning score. If you predict Team A to beat Team B by 10 points but Team B wins by 5 you will get 15 points.

Here are the points after the England v Tonga match:



No-one got the exact winning margin but [MENTION=34973]Lindfield23[/MENTION], [MENTION=258]Pavilionaire[/MENTION], [MENTION=1575]whitelion[/MENTION] and [MENTION=35196]Is it PotG?[/MENTION] were only one point out.
