All sorted thanks. It appears to be a browser issue. The Tele asked me what browser I use, so before replying I closed my usual browser IE9, and opened up Safari, and everything was ok. The problem was that when I clicked on the prediction tabs in IE9 nothing was happening. In Safari they turn dark blue, confirming my selections...

Two good games today. I suspect England should have won as the French seemed fragile, as is their habit on occasions.Unfortunately they will probably get better. I don't think there will be a Grand Slam this year and I think Wales will lose in Dublin and Twickenham. So if we go with home wins then I think it's France or England on points difference.


However if Ireland go to Twickenham with 2 out of 2 they could win there and a win against Italy would leave them with a match for the Grand Slam in Paris. At that point the French will have surrendered, so Ireland for a Grand Slam.

Thanks Declan for the optimism.


I have backed Ireland for the triple crown at 5/1. I think they will lose to France so im hoping the others will go well.


Nothing between England, Wales and Ireland.



Wales massively overrated and still slightly confused about their Lions domination. Lets not forget that it was England that went into the last game of last year with grand slam prospects so England are a very good side.

That was an enjoyable match...every high ball into the air. Just good tactics. Most enjoyable was the Welsh centre trying to take BOD out and having to go off himself. Shoulder injury. Hitting Paddy Jackson after he scored was cheap. Phillips is a dick too but that isn't news.

I have Ireland for the Triple Crown already which will be decided next week.


But have now added France for the Grand Slam as they are 4/1 which I thought was generous? They rarely lose to Ireland and will surely beat Scotland. I think that means it down to whether they can beat Wales in Cardiff on Friday night.

One thing is a near certainty. Regardless of what happens this week-end, I think it's reasonable to assume Ireland will beat Italy at home and possibly by a good margin. So come the last week-end I expect their points difference to be better than anyone else's.They will play the last match of the Championship in Paris needing a win at most to be the champions. With their current coach, I'd expect them to come very close to it. Fact is, it wouldn't surprise me if they were going for a GS.


The liklihood is though, that come the last week-end there may be 3 or even 4 possible winners. As Ireland and France play last, they have an advantage.


I don't think either of you will win your bets on France and England.

It's worth mentioning that Dulwich College are through to the Semi-Final of the Nat West Cup (formerly the Daily Mail Cup).


After winning it for the past two years, to get this far in the tournament with a completely new group of players is pretty incredible.


For those that don't know, the Nat West Cup is the national school's cup- meaning DC are acknowledged as the best Rugby school in the country.

    • Leaving the country having been made somewhat more difficult than it used to be.  Can't quite put my finger on why.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
