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.

      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.
