Not sure how the cup comp works however above are my predictions. Probably too late for the first match ....... not good at this predicting before the matches start!!

Thanks again for the info and PM's Minky Joe.

No problem Stunty, you're in the cup. As for the cup, you just have do better than your opponent in this group of 8 matches.

I went for a draw in a match, to get them through on time, but how would that work in terms of points? Assume either side wins by, say 5.

Hello Cissy,

If you go for a draw and it isn't a draw, you will score 3 X winning margin. In your example it will be 15.

I notice Stunty was 15 minutes late in submitting his predictions - to be fair on everybody else he scores +10 more than the worst score in match which had started (Australia v Uruguay).

Australia 65 v 3 Uruguay
Congratulations to James1953 who got the 62 point winning margin exactly right. tonypennys continued his good form, being 2 out, with DimSum and jake1981 4 out.

Scotland 39 v 16 United States
A few of us went close here, with MinkyJoe being closest, I was 1 out. 2 out were Sam_Clarke1, Realale, DimSum and Marmite Baby. Also close, (3 out), was jake1981

Ireland 44 v 10 Romania
A late try under the posts for Romania means Sam_Clarke1 and Mark F go closest here - being 1 off. 2 off were James1953 and Cissy Fairfax. After that, 3 off, was Marmite Baby

Wales 23 v 13 Fiji
Wales withstood a golden passage of play from Fiji in the third quarter of the match to run out comfortable winners. Great predictions by dtcdtcdtc and mb@2day - both were spot on, with Cissy Fairfax 1 off and Marmite Baby 2 off - well played.

France 41 v 18 Canada
Realale went closest, being 1 point off, tso 2 off, neilwatson 3 off alongside mb@2day, (also 3 off), who is having a very good round.
