EDF Six Nations Predictor Game (Rugby)

[Alan Medic]

I got really lucky with France. More of the same today though I won't be too worried if I get one of my predictions wrong!

Always a dilemma when there are two sporting events on at the same time that you want to watch. At least you could watch the first half of the rugby unhindered as with the 2nd half of the footie. That leaves you with a half to decide on.

There's no end of season get together planned. Not all the participants live here I'm pretty sure.

Nice pick AM - I was off by three, damn those unadventurous French - Blanco and Sella wouldn't have kicked a penalty in the 71st minute when leading by 15!

[Alan Medic]

Thanks rh. I'm not in the "going for the draw" mode just yet. It may well come.

[maxxi]

I was well off - expected France to romp - gone for a Welsh win to compound my failings...

[maxxi]

looks like i picked the wrong 'underdogs'

[rendelharris]

Well played the Scots! Thought England were shameful today, really shameful, unimaginative, uncommitted, boring...thoroughly deserved to lose.

Boring is an offence in rugby. An erstwhile Irish hooker Ken Kennedy was once spoken to by the ref who said 'Kennedy you're boring'. Kennedy replied,'you're not too exciting yourself ref'.

[Alan Medic]

Well done Bhoy. Only one to get all 3 correct.

I would offer you a riposte but unfortunately I can't understand what your comment means.

Really?

Round 4 starts tomorrow:

Saturday

Ireland v Scotland 14.15

France v England 16.45

Sunday

Wales v Italy 15.00

[Alan Medic]

I'm so happy to be the only one to have picked France to win. This time tomorrow I may be less happy to have been the only one to have picked Italy to win....

[rendelharris]

Goodness England were rotten - exciting finish though, what was that French dude thinking trying to make a long touch? Well picked AM, though pretty sure your Italy pick will go a bit wrong...

[Alan Medic]

I quite like how Italy have been scoring tries and with Wales making a lot of changes they might have a chance. Given how France lost to Ireland it would have been cruel if they lost yesterday as a result of that silly kick. they nearly did.

[rendelharris]

Given the amount of stick I've received from Welsh friends in the last twelve hours, I'm going to be cheering for Italy today!

[Alan Medic]

One Round remaining.........

[rendelharris]

Time for a bit of "three draws" magic AM? ;-)

[Alan Medic]

Don't know rendel. Backing England might do the trick if they were to win :-)

Eddie - No.

Might give the Irish some motivation if they care :)

[Alan Medic]

Perfect timing for the release of a year old video, though I'm told the bit about the Irish was taken out of context. He had exchanged some 'banter' with someone from Ireland during the procedures. I quite like Eddie,so far.

I assumed the timing might be something to do with it coming up now.

[Alan Medic]

Last round and it may all depend on who can predict all 3 correctly.

Saturday

12.30 Italy v Scotland

14.45 England v Ireland

17.00 Wales v France

[Alan Medic]

Well done to RC again, who pipped RD. Probably for alphabetical reasons!

[rendelharris]

Thanks for organising again AM, good fun.
