Summer Tours competition - Predictions. GET YOUR WEEK THREE PREDICTIONS IN!!!

Before you all get too excited, there are no prizes, you win, you tap yourself on the back and you get a world ranking or in this case a 606 ranking.

It is very simple, all you do is you predict the score with the home team first and the away team second. The points system work on a points difference calculation.

So you get no bonus points for predicting the winner, you only get points for accuracy.

Example. SA beat england by 26-15. So they win by 11

There are 4 possible predictions:

your winning margin is bigger, (26-0), your result +15
your winning margin is smaller ( 26-20), your result -6
your picked the other team to win (10-26), your result is -25
you predicted a draw (26-26), your result is -11

The winner is the poster who has the lowest points difference by the end of the competition.

You're not very confident about Scotland's chances are you FES??

My head says we'll lose two and win one.

Think we'll get a beating from the Aussies. We always start slowly at everything. By the time we play the last game we'll be better used to the pace and the heat.

Think Ireland will get torn to pieces, and England will lose the series 2-1. I think Wales will come out on top however.

My predictions all year have been totally hopeless however.....

I'm surprised people are generally having Scotland do better against Somoa than Fiji - I am much more worried about the Samoa game!

I think Samoa have a stronger team than Fiji and apparently it will be mid 30s in Samoa, whereas it is expected to be cooler in Aus and Fiji.

I'm basing my view more on how Scotland perform. If we perform strongly we'll beat both Fiji and Samoa, I just think it'll take us time to get sorted on this tour (although I'm sure the surfing helped), and I think we'll need to pick ourselves up after a fast paced start against what will be a strong footballing Aussies side.

If we've lost the first two I think desperation will get us over the line against Samoa.

Suppose that's the Scottish way - lose the important games and finally grind out a win when there's nothing but pride to play for!

Some of you are pretty confident to make all your predictions now.

TBH I pretty much used a random number generator....

Sometimes it can work.




Other times not.


So by my reckoning ou have a pipty/pipty chance.

point is if you wanna do well- dont pick em all straight away. we need to check out the form and players get injured etc etc. I am in this to win. My second place wasnt good enough in the 6 nations predo tourny.

Agree, I want to pat myself on the back when this is all said and done.

I am competitive . I love admitting not to knowing much about rugby, but then prooving i am better at predicting than you hardcores!! it makes me smile..

I hate losing, I hate it even more when the Springboks lose.

My motto is winning isn't everything, it is winning and how you win that is everything.

Arrr thats nice bilt..... You gotta to be a good loser when you actually lose- but untill that loss happens , its nice to give it!

Are you doing the SG Summer Tours comp, Biltong?
Samoa to beat Tonga tomorrow...
Japan-Fiji will be good too.

LB forgot about that, better get it going today.

You've missed a game... but don't worry. I did the same with Super League and battled my way from 13th (last) to 4th now.
Had to take some risks though.

Yeah, I didn't think this Barbarians match would be part of it, england and ireland's games weren't

Are you going to add the other games... Fiji, Japan, Samoa, etc or is it too far down the track now?
