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.

Your Scotland score is not divisible by 3 - may need a rethink?!

What about 2 unconverted tries and 4 penalties = 22

Have you seen the weather in Europe this weekend? I know the players will want to encourage running rugby to stave off hypothermia but I envisage body heat will be the greatest provider of heat so I fully expect 15 man rolling mauls and my scores reflect that.

Scotland vs England 9 - 6 Braveheart

France vs Italy 15 - 6

Ireland vs Wales 18 - 12

Home ground advantage will be vital because the visitors´changing sheds will all have no heating in them (sorry, must be a broken pipe. That´s a real shame).

Nonsense, it will be a beautiful, tropical 2-6 degrees in Edinburgh, dry and a hard pitch. England will run in a hat full of tries and the rest of the world will tremble at our inevitable and impending greatness.

I think you´ve been out in that beautiful tropical sun too long mate! I think it´ll be up the jumper stuff and not a try the whole match (if not the whole weekend!). I´m just cold thinking about being outside. Then again I did play in the backs... Six Nations Competition - Week 5 - Page 2 3559488474

The jumpers are too tight to put anything up anymore. Mark my words it will be an celebratory extravaganza of running rugby prowess and dynamic fast ball providing back row play. Mark my words!

by kiakahaaotearoa Fri 03 Feb 2012, 5:24 pm

Good call on the jumpers. Maybe they´ll keep the tracksuits on after the anthems.

You´re sticking to your try fest story which is admirable. If I hadn´t put money on Scotland to win, I´d be openly encouraging that to happen.

Scotland 15 - 23 England
Ireland 22 - 18 Wales

Son of a bitch. As defending champion why wasn't I personally informed of this competition. Load of bar stewards the lot you. Love sacks, Love sacks, Love sacks.

Oh well, life goes on...

If only France had kicked an extra penalty

Should make up for Scotland abysmal performance though,

Now, im just hoping that my last prediction is wrong - Ill lose the points to see Wales win

Don't you get 10 for getting England's score right?

by miteyironpaw Sun 05 Feb 2012, 10:51 am

Do I get half a point for predicting the England-Scotland U20 score by accident?

20 + (10-2) + (10-2) = 36
and 10 for getting England's points correct
= 48 for Billy?

Is that how it works?

Yep, so mine was 20+ (10-4) + (10-4)= 32
plus 20 + (10-9) + (10-7)= 24
= 56

by **Biltong** Sun 05 Feb 2012, 11:29 am

So mine is:

France 37- Italy 13

20+ (10-7) + (10-1)= 32

England 21 - Scotland 15.

20+ (10-7) + (10-9) = 24

total 56?

miteyironpaw wrote:Do I get half a point for predicting the England-Scotland U20 score by accident?

No.

France 64-3 Italy
Scotland 3-55 England
Ireland 19-17 Wales

20 + (10-34) + (10-9) = 20 -34 + 1 = -13
20 + (10-42) + (10-4) = 20 -32 + 6 = -6
= -19

Laugh

No, you get 20 + 0 + 1 + 20 + 0 + 6 = 47 for mitey (as posted in the other thread)

I agree that he should get 20 points for the result as it's hardly unbelievable that he would have thought prior to the game that France would beat Italy in Paris

Pretty pleased with 60 but reckon I'm going to be way off with the scores for the next game even if I'm right with the result (Ireland win)
