To answer the question which really should put an end to the thread, nice croissants are delicious to eat. A bit like everything else that's delicious to eat. That's the point.

Hopefully whoever wins the RWC will have a bit of wit about them and not just muscle.

That's Matt everyone. You know, the one at the top with the yellow cap.

I pretty sure Mima08 is a girl. Which 08 was that? I thought it was 67.

As for having Burgess in the centre I think that's an experiment waiting to fail. I hope I don't have to eat my words if England wallop the Wales 2nd XV

Pity you didn't enter Mick. It's not too late.

England drop Ford for Farrell. Anyone agree that's a good decision? I don't.

A couple who registered but didn't play I removed having tried to contact them.

If anyone knows our current leader Matt Jackson, tell him he hasn't made his predictions for R2 yet. It would be a shame to waste all that hard work in R1.

Imagine Fox and Lou, I do I think about them day and night, it's only right..........

I think Scotland will win tomorrow mainly because of it being their first game. Two games in 5 days is a lot in rugby even if Japan have made 6 changes.

Round 2 Matches are as follows: Wednesday: Scotland v Japan Australia v Fiji France v Romania Thursday: New Zealand v Namibia Friday: Argentina v Georgia

These may be the scores after Round One if I can get this to work....... Thanks to RD for the advice.

Just to clarify. Opting out of predicting will win you a point for up to 4 matches if the result goes as expected. However you are excluded from the chance of any bonus points including the one for selecting the correct results in a Round where there is a bonus point to be won for getting all correct. The TDM is a tie-breaker but only as a last resort. The following is an extract from the rules. "The leaderboard shows the total scores of players taking part in this pool. Where required, ties are broken with tie-breaking rules. Unlike on the Global Leaderboard, Bonus Points (BP) are included here. Tie-breaking In the event of points ties on a pool leaderboard, position is allocated on the basis of higher WP total, then higher MP total, then lower TDM. If scores are still tied after these criteria are applied, the players are adjudged to be tied. TDM is Total Distance from Margin: the sum of the differences between a player's margin predictions and the actual margins."

If you have the players now why not? What will you do with Andy Carroll?

Japan surprised everyone but deserved to win. Best sporting event I've watched in ages.

Well I know someone who did it although it was many years ago. It may not be the wisest thing to do but he probably used something like the attached.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buying-Selling-Conveyancing-Lawpack-Property-ebook/dp/B004APA56A/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1442656065&sr=1-4&keywords=conveyancing

That's of no use to them though RD. It's only used to determine the Bonus point winner for closest to the correct points difference. If a player didn't make a prediction they wouldn't be considered for it. If more than one were equal who did make predictions it would be divided. I agree though that they should be at the bottom of the table. As it stands Buoy got it exactly right and scored a full bonus point plus 0.25 of a bonus for being withing 5 points. David meanwhile got 0.25 for being 4 points out. If England hadn't scored that last try things would have been so different......for me anyway. At least I had the consolation of having a small wager on Fiji with a +25 points handicap.

I've noticed that more than one entrant failed to register a prediction. The good news for them is the generous organiser's allow 4 such lapses in the group stages and so each has been given a point for yesterday's match. It's not a given though as it's based on what the majority predicted. It also excludes them from any bonus points on offer.

Enjoyable game though.

Once you lock your predictions you can see what others have predicted. A prediction not locked will be automatically so at KO. The Round bonus point (for getting every result correct) may not apply to every round it seems. I will do an update between Rounds as for the most part there is a day or twos gap between each of them. I suggest you at least complete predictions of a Round at a time as the games are coming thick and fast. You can always change them if you don't 'lock' them. Anyway, I don't want to preach to the converted which may well be the case. Still time to join too.

If you can be bothered you can do your own conveyancing. You don't actually need a solicitor.
