England 35 v 11 Fiji
21 players in the competition and jake1981 is off to a flyer, getting the winning margin for the first game spot on. DimSum was 1 out, with Sam_Clarke1, davethecue, James1953, tonypennys and Cuishla all just 2 out. The first 11 entrants get a bye in the cup - with the remaining 10 playing each other. More details later. 3rd place picks look like this: Pool A Wales 18 Australia 2 England 1 Pool B Samoa 13 Scotland 8 Pool C Tonga 20 Georgia 1 Pool D Italy 21 |

How silly of me to think the minnows of South Africa would beat mighty Japan!

Tonga 10 v 17 Georgia
Kudos to Cuishla - not only the only one to predict a win for Georgia but also within 1 point - well played. Ireland 50 v 7 Canada Close calls from CGG_12, DimSum, tonypennys, The Net and dtcdtcdtc all within 3 South Africa 32 v 34 Japan What some are calling the biggest shock result in Rugby history predictably caused carnage here. The only two to score under 100 points, both with 96 were tonypennys and Realale France 32 v 10 Italy With the final game going to form, we saw neilwatson going closest, being 1 off. dean michael and Cuishla 2 off and topgooner100 3 off. |

Wales 54 v 9 Uruguay Realale and tonypennys came up with the exact winning margin - good call. davethecue was 2 out. New Zealand 26 v 16 Argentina jake1981 was spot on with his +10 prediction. James1953 and neilwatson were 2 out. |

The second round of matches will decide the cup draw:
The best 11 scorers of the second round, with the bonus included, will get a bye. The remaining 10 will not. (This is a change from what I said earlier but I think it’s a better way). Second round of matches: Wednesday 23rd September 2015 Scotland v Japan Australia v Fiji France v Romania Thursday 24th September 2015 New Zealand v Namibia Friday 25th September 2015 Argentina v Georgia Saturday 26th September 2015 Italy v Canada South Africa v Samoa England v Wales Bonus question. This is worth -50 to the nearest and -100 if you are exactly right. Disciplinary points: Award 1 point per yellow card, 3 points per red card. What will be the total disciplinary points in the 8 matches? (Any retrospective action, through citing will not count - just yellows and reds awarded during the matches) Predictions by 14:30 on Wednesday 23rd September please. |
