It's finals day in the Nat West School's Rugby Cup at Twickenham.


Dulwich College entered the competition for the first time 4 seasons ago and have never been beaten. They've won the competition on the three occasions they've entered it and are now in the final (against Bromsgrove) for the fourth year running. It's an extraordinary achievement and is never likely to be bettered in it's modern format.


The game kicks off at 3.40pm and is live (HD) on the link below. It's well worth a watch- the standard of Rugby is very high.

Here are the basics to the prediction game (scroll up to get the details to enter, 4 so far):



The Group matches (40) are divided into 4 rounds of 8, 11, 9 & 12 games.

These follow the order matches will be played.

You can post your predictions anytime prior to a game kicking off for it to be included.

Once you 'lock' your predictions it will allow you to see others predictions.

Once locked you can't change your prediction and if you don't lock it, it will happen automatically when play starts.

Points scoring:

1 point for a correct prediction in the Group stages. This increases to 1.5,2 & 3 points thereafter in the Q/F's to the Final.

0.5 points for getting the margin of victory to within 5 points. Must have winning team unless you predicted a margin of 5 points or less.

In this case you will still win the bonus even if you predicted the wrong result.

1 Bonus point for being the closest to the winning margin in each match. This in theory could be divided if people are equally close.

Grand Slam Point is awarded for getting all the results correct in a given group. This appears to be worth 2 points.

No - scans/results due today.


But can't see how they could make it now - both bad injuries - Webbs was terrible

(people saying two injuries on the same leg).

although ....


The WRU deny that reports in France have come from them and there is no official word on how long Halfpenny is expected to be out of action.


There is also no word on Rhys Webb.


A recent statement from the WRU says: ?Further medical updates regarding the national squad will be made when available

Liam Williams (if he recovers) is pretty good and maybe we'll

call in Mike Phillips.


Rhys Webb has included in a statement "See you in 2016" :(


Actually Phillips called up now.

Just another invitation to play as the KO gets closer. You can post your predictions once you register if you want. Summary of scoring a few posts up. This isn't a Fantasy game in that you don't have to pick players but just a score and result game. Easy to play.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
