Wow Rodders. Its not like you to be optimistic about Ireland's chances.

I'm not, I think we'll lose but need the points in the competition....

Ha snap we got the same points. Maybe we are kindred spirits afterall?

thanks.

I'm worried about sharing the unlucky "Australian 87" with you mate... it's a bad omen (for you) I tell ya. Wink

by GunsGerms Wed 05 Feb 2014, 12:29 pm

Is that a cricket thing?

by **Pal Joey** Wed 05 Feb 2014, 12:32 pm

Mainly cricket, yes.

Perhaps only cricket.

I'm not really superstitious though. It's always mentioned by broadcasters though - so even if you're not thinking of it - you'll be reminded by them. There's nothing you can do about it really.

by GunsGerms Wed 05 Feb 2014, 12:34 pm

Haha. Interesting. Im surprised I did so well anyway. Well 11th isnt bad.

by **Pal Joey** Wed 05 Feb 2014, 12:44 pm

I think I over-estimate points scored. I've gone for a few big wins next week but I guess there's always the danger of at least one or perhaps even 2 games being low scores.

As an Aussie - I simply add up number of tries, conversions, no. penalty kicks assuming it's a fast, hard track on a clear day and that the players have that type of game in mind to play expansively and the kicker gets about 3 to 6 kicks or whatever. I don't take into account the weather or pitch conditions because I can't really follow it in detail. Its easy to get caught out in the cold tipping like that!

by GunsGerms Wed 05 Feb 2014, 12:51 pm

there are lots of storms and floods in Ireland at the minute. Hopefully by Saturday they will be gone.

by **Pal Joey** Wed 05 Feb 2014, 12:58 pm

Hope it's not too severe. Thanks for the update.

If it were some club match played in slippery wet conditions... I can see my "formula" doesn't work and I'd throw it out the window in that scenario.

I then revert to the + or - 1,2,3,4,5,... points difference method - when you have that feeling it's going to be a close one by not many points.

For 6N though, I upgrade the scoring potential for all teams mostly and add more points scored... except for certain games. (which shall not be named)

Only just made top 50 last week so dropping further this week I feel.

by **Pal Joey** Mon 10 Feb 2014, 9:51 am

Hey Sportform,

I'm gonna put this in the Sticky Section up top.

I added the "2014 Week 1 Standings" in your OP.
Add the link to "Week 2" below that when you are ready... and we can edit the title to "Week 3", etc.

Cheers for doing this again, mate.

by Cyril Mon 10 Feb 2014, 1:15 pm

I did a LOT better this week Smile

Ok cheers. I was looking for the thread down the list Doh

I'm just doing the scores now and should update the tables/ leaderboards later tonight.

Wales 21 - France 19
England 18 - Ireland 11
Scotland 17 - Italy 14

Wales will make a great late come back, England will benefit from a controversial try that will rattle 606's windows and Scotland will clinch an unlikely victory with a late penalty.

Do I get bonus points for those?
