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.

I'm in the same boat. Not so happy with my original prediction now but changing it may be tempting fate. I find it funny how seriously we all take this.

by mystiroakey Wed 29 Feb 2012, 11:16 am

yeah lol- i am taking it immensly serious- i even backed wales against england and had to justify why!!

by Eclipse Wed 29 Feb 2012, 11:20 am

Ha ha. I backed Ireland against Wales and justified it by saying to myself that it would take the edge off the depression of losing. Now I wish I'd followed my heart!

by KickAndChase Wed 29 Feb 2012, 11:48 am

I won't kick myself at all...it's life! Here's my new prediction:

France 20 - 16 Ireland

Hard to believe that before the game irelnad were relativley big favs! i didnt understand why and backed wales- so infact the only game that has gone against the odds

I'm sticking with my original call

by kiakahaaotearoa Wed 29 Feb 2012, 12:46 pm

I´m changing my prediction. Simply because I can´t remember what I put before. Sorry to make more work for you sportsville. But after a weak effort against France, I think France will be fired up after Ireland put so many points on Italy. If Ireland had scraped through with a lucky win, ironically I would´ve put money on them to surprise the French on the weekend. But given that warning shot they fired against Italy, I think the French know what´s facing them now and feel they need to pull out a big performance. So I´m going for 27 - 15 to France with their best performance so far. Unless my other score is closer (it was a French win) in which case that result stands. Whistle

I want to believe Scotland can win and they have a good record against Ireland. But I was impressed by that effort against France away. Should be a good game.

Hi Bill,

I think it might be, though I am also edging the bets towards the upper end.

Wales have been saying all week how this game is about proving a point, laying down a marker.

Wales have the ability to put a cricket score on Italy in Cardiff. Personally I would be happy with a good win, even just a win. But these lads really want to prove something...! The have the talent lets hope they can convert it into points.

I went for 40 - 12, hope it is in the ball park, I need the points.

If England can win in Paris they will have seriously proved a big point, that is a tough game for such an inexperienced team. Especially the battle at the breakdown, backrow will be vital.

I will be very impressed by England if they win this game, they have a good chance, they played well in the loss to Wales, a lot better than they did against Scotland and Italy.
