Six Nations Competition - Week 5

by sportform Thu Feb 02, 2012 12:49 pm

First topic message reminder :

This is the place to post your selections for week 5. mr-bryns-attitude has a 33 point lead going into the final three games from mystiroakey and Eclipse back in joint second. This competition is far from over though with all three games this week capable of going either way. This is probably the toughest week for the predictions so far.

Certainly don't think Wales will be putting that much against Scotland. If they write off Scotland like that, they will be in for a shock.

They're not writing off Scotland Rory...I am.... Whistle

Found it pretty tricky this week. Feel there will be an upset in at least one of the games but have wussed out and gone with the 'favourites' in each:

Italy 9 England 28
France 28 Ireland 21
Wales 25 Scotland 11

Greece to remain in the eurozone, the greenback to continue its decline, rain over much of Ireland and Scotland and scattered showers with intermittent bright periods over much of the Continent.

If you´re driving to the matches, please be careful with black ice on the secondary roads and do drink plenty of whisky as it´s likely to be very cold.

by ChequeredJersey Fri Feb 10, 2012 5:22 am

Small amounts of money now on England GS. Unlikely but high reward

Nice predictions

I want bonus points if they all come true (well we´ll read the whisky drinking as a given). Sod the rugby. I´m going to start up my own thread: Six Nations Meteorological Predictions.

There will be a shock thunderstorm in Rome on Saturday that will involve a lightning bolt hitting the English goal posts as Italy take the first penalty kick at the start of 2nd half. The posts will be utterly destroyed and Italy will no longer be allowed to score through kicking, rendering the alleged improvement in English discipline pointless (pun intended)

I imagine you get pretty decent odds on predicting the time and location of a lightning bolt hitting.

I had all the winners correct last weekend, but some of the scores were a bit out!

This weekend I have decided to get my sports mad chum to give it a go. He is the sport guru come pub quiz time.

He thinks it will be:

Italy 16-30 England
France 19-20 Ireland
Wales 29-17 Scotland

My guesses:

Italy 15 England 23
France 19 Ireland 29

Wales 21 Scotland 8

So that's 31 from the 1st game. Slightly over estimated England's improvement (as in that there would be one)

Italy 14. England 28 (Italy looked better than before this week but I'm confident we can play much netter and score 3 tries)
France- 24 Ireland 26 (big call)
Wales - 32 Scotland 20

30 points from game 1 (20 + 9 + 1). Mostly rides on the next one...

I'm the same for the Wales game.

I love that if each team had scored 1 fewer points then you would have an extra 42!

Yeah and last week I lost 23 with the last minute penalty in wales ireland.

by Mad for Chelsea Sun Feb 12, 2012 6:30 am

I went for 9-20 (stupid interception!) so a decent haul of 33 points from the first game.

I think you were one of three people, bedfordwelsh and Bring_the_boom being the other two, who were just one point away and plenty more were within a few points.

Regarding the France v Ireland game (likely to be played on either the 18 February or March 3), predictions made will stand. If anyone wants to make a new prediction nearer to the rearranged game just add it into a new post below.

I will still update the tables, with an 'unofficial' week 2 table, after the weekend but the 'week 2 winner' won't be announced until after the France v Ireland game which will hopefully be next weekend (hope that makes sense).

not happy.

by kiakahaaotearoa Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:25 pm

Looks like my weather predictions were as good as last week´s picks. Did anyone pick France vs Ireland to be called off due to a frozen pitch? Big points there!
