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.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By beansprout · Posted

      Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl…

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.

      I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
