I may expel Mima08 as s/he appears to have stopped playing and it would only deny someone else winning the wooden spoon.

URGENT UPDATE......so to speak


Two games have so far been cancelled this week-end, England v France and New Zealand v Italy. This is due to possible extreme weather conditions as you probably know already, if you are reading this thread.


I don't know how Superbru will deal with this, but suggest that if you haven't locked your picks you put them down as draws. The games will be considered to have been 0-0 draws.


Scotland v Japan is another one that might go the same way.

They've posted this update...


Important Notice

Any matches which cannot be played due to the impact of Typhoon Hagibis will be deemed to be null and void on Superbru with no points awarded for the affected matches, even if the matches are officially recorded as a draw for the tournament's purposes.


We recommend making your picks based on whatever you think the results are likely to be if the matches are played. If the matches are played, points will be awarded as usual. If the matches aren't played, no points will be awarded.

Down to the q/finals now, next week-end. The WP (Win Points) increases to 1.5 per match. If a game goes to extra time the final score after it, is what will count.


No more benefitting from 'default picks' allowed.

It's all kicking off for the semi's this week and looking tasty. Can't wait. :)


"All four nations competing in the Rugby World Cup semi finals held press conferences this morning as they prepare for this weekend's games.


England coach Eddie Jones used his media event to accuse someone of filming his team's training sessions from a nearby apartment block. He also accused some New Zealand journalists of being "fans with keyboards"."

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
