Six Nations Predictathon

[Simon Griffiths]

Okay, as usual, a predictathon is required for the 6N. Given my woeful record for updating the scores from the RWC (I'll get round to it some day, perhaps in retirement... ) I have set up an RugbyRefs league on a prediction web-site, SuperBru.

There is a similar system of scoring to that used previously by us, but there are a couple of differences. It's all explained on the web-site.

So, here's the necessary info to join up:

Website: http://www.superbru.com/sixnations
Pool code: nextloaf
Pool name: Rugby Refs

Join and get predicting. I'll still pop along each Wednesday with a reminder to get your predictions in.

Okay, we've got nine signed up so far. That's not nearly enough!

Come on, a few more would be nice. A day and a half to go!

Are learned terrace refs allowed a go?

Denzil, my mentor, reckons it's going to be Scotland . . . .again.

Chopper, get in there my boy, show us whose boss, anyone welcome. Denzil could very well be right, that's the fun of it.:hap:

 

[Simon Griffiths]

chopper - definitely! It's more of a forum league as opposed to a 'referee' league. :biggrin:

Your mate Denzil wouldn't happen to be the world's most famous carpet salesman would he?:wink: Coz he thinks its going to be Scotland too

 

[Dixie]

Popular culture once again goes straight over my head. Who is the world's most famous carpet salesman, please (other than Denzil)? I can't think of one that's even slightly well-known!

 

[chopper15]

It could be Elvira, Denzil's youngest!

I know for a fact she's been making frequent forays into Scotland of late. . . but then again I could be wrong about carpets . . . I've got a sneaking suspicion that Denzil said she and Bubbles were selling bibles! But I will check!

It was Elvira who excitedly tipped Denzil off about Scotland's chances of success in the 2008 6Ns!

Never underestimate the powers of a chopper, as a fellow Celt I was with you too.

Good one chopper, similar to my thoughts.

Everyone who hasn't yet, get on there and get your predictions in!

Gosh! Just looked at everyone's picks. There's 100% agreement so far as to the winners of each game. 13 entrants so far - come on, chaps: let's enter into the spirit of the thing!
