Maxxi, may I remind you of Rule 14 (Section 2 - ''Predicting Your Results'') of the EDF 6 Nations Predictor Game Rulebook, that stipulates...

''Should a match be abandoned and replayed only to then become the decider of the EDF 6 Nations Predictor Game League, then the current leader of the EDF 6 Nations Predictor Game League is hereby required to completely lose the plot when making their final prediction.''

May I also remind Maxxi that Clause 3c of the aforementioned rule also stipulates that...

i) Notwithstanding Clauses 3a & 3b, the current leader of the EDF 6 Nations Predictor Game League is hereby required to consume copious amounts of Friday afternoon beers in order to facilitate a state of inebriation by teatime, thereby rendering themselves incapacitated and unable to think logically.

ii) Failure to do so will result in the offender having to appear in front of the EDF Games Investigation into Membership Panel, which is automatically triggered when more than 50% of Members declare ''Bring out the Gimp''...

and of course at any time Nigel Owens as supreme refereeing person is allowed to blow his whistle, run in, and change any decision at all at any time.

I should like to draw to the attention of the Ruddy Beelzebub(SCG*) that Rule 14 only comes into effect if said 'current leader' is not the kind of lazy ars*d twonk who made all his predictions long ago (having as much idea of who would actually prevail in any given match as David Moyes does of how to win at Old Trafford).

Similarly, Rule 14 is nullified if. being very much not-ars*d about constantly returning to the scene for updates and such, the current leader locked-in said pick wa-a-a-ay back when leaving no possibility of it being altered.

It does, of course, go without saying that having picked with heart not head in the last round to give others a chance to catch up and actually getting two results wrong, the 'CL' has fulfilled his obligations re lending a hand to the less gifted.

It is also understood that clause 3c will be followed to the letter regardless of its lack of effect on the results and the fact that it will be accompanied by much chanting of "Champion! Champion!..." etc.

Both of you should be concerned regarding the current (behind closed doors)investigation, as to why the Cowboy failed to make the easiest prediction of the week-end? Two points lost,at least. Was he hacked? Bribed? Threatened? And by whom?

[Alan Medic]

In fact subject to an acceptable explanation from RC, I think perhaps he should be awarded the 2 points (one being a GS point). All agree? RC, over to you?

[JohnL]

It's only a leaderboard :)

Sexton: "Sir, he elbowed me in the face."

Genge: "Yeah I did. I did."

Might've known maxxi would play the Moyes Gambit, no shame...

I think he fell victim to a premature adoption of Clause 3c.

[Alan Medic]

All predictions made apart from Mick Mac. No peeking allowed by Superbru for final round.

France v Scotland

Tonight 20:00

[diable rouge]

I thought it was only possible to peek after you've locked your own predictions and therefore can't tactically change your prediction. Although I guess someone's mate could take a peek and relay the info back to them, doubt that would happen on the EDF unless Uncleglen joined in...#ABU :)

[Alan Medic]

Superbru didn't allow it for the last round. I think they normally do that.

[Alan Medic]

Given this unusual 6 nations, it's probably appropriate that the man who doesn't make a prediction gets the Yellow Cap this week!

Round 6

Congratulations to maxxi on the win. The Cowboy might just be kicking himself though!

Final Table

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Congrats Maxxi and thanks Alan for sorting as usual

[diable rouge]

Well done maxximillian, and thanks to Meds for organising...

[maxxi]

Thanks for getting it together Doc - diverting as always and good fun

Ryder Cup Superbru.

I created a pool for this and will send invites to you, in the event you might be interested. It's not a solely EDF pool as I created it to play with a couple of brothers of mine. But as one wants to invite some of his golfing friends, I'll extend it too.

Anyone not previously involved in a EDF Superbru prediction game, let me know here and I'll post how to join the pool, if you'd like to play. Not a lot involved. Points for choosing who is going to win matches type of thing.

BTW the Pool name this time is 'The Flog Game'.
