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.

So i make that

20 + 8 + 7 = 35
20 + 5 + 4 = 29
8 + 6 = 14

So 78. Not bad for a first post!! Also ferris cost me 23!! Sad

good first call!!

First call was good, the other 2 not so. Was looking good for the Ireland Wales game with 10 minutes to go. I'm so glad I got it wrong. I wish i'd gone with heart over head now. Happy with 99 points though.

by RubyGuby Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:03 pm

Ruby's Ratings for this week

France 23 - Ireland 17

Wales 29 - Scotland 15

Italy 19 - England 20.

by BridgendBoyo Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:08 pm

Ive tried working this out but its confused me no end Doh

by ChequeredJersey Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:12 pm

Actually I'll do it:

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

by Mad for Chelsea Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:15 pm

oooo supremely brave call on the Ireland game CJ clap

by Rory_Gallagher Tue Feb 07, 2012 1:56 pm

I highly doubt England would get near to that score against Italy. They were very underrated against France. Stellar defensive performance.

It is good to see this thread has encouraged some mathematics (even if some of it is not quite on the ball).

I should hopefully get a results thread up sometime tonight (if not tomorrow morning).

For this week's games just add your predictions below. I am in the process of updating this thread for week 2.

You can get 30.33 if you put an accumulator on those bets.

117.0 if you also thought Ireland were going to win...

Given our performance against Scotland what odds can we get on an England Grandslam?

ChequeredJersey wrote:Given our performance against Scotland what odds can we get on an England Grandslam?

gone up from 10/1 to 14.5/1

wales from 8/1 to 2.75/1!!!!!

by ChequeredJersey Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:26 pm

Might put a tenner on it as a show of faith.

by mystiroakey Tue Feb 07, 2012 10:31 pm

actually its 13.5/1 (14.5)

but yeah its worth a punt- they will go down to 8/1 as long as they beat italy, could lay it off then and still pocket abit
