[Howe_zat]

Poor round for me, but almost everyone near the top made the same mistakes so I think I ought to keep a narrow lead.

I actually stand a chance of winning one of these. I was beginning to think that was against the rules.

 

[ripper868]

Mouthwatering games. Really looking forward to this weekend.

Nice comp Marc, wish I spotted this earlier. Hurricane & Somerset both had handy quarter picks.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wales to beat Ireland by 8
England to beat France by 15
Australia to beat SA by 6
New Zealand to beat Argentina by 25

Wales beat Ireland by 12

BoyBrumby	24

Think I've been stiffed.

Wales v Ireland = 5 for result + 6 for margin = 11
Oz v SA = 5 for result + 6 for margin = 11
NZ v Arg = 5 for result + 8 for margin = 13

I make that 35.

 

[marc71178]

Will check at home, but suspect you have and I put one of the OZ v Chokers or Taffs v Paddys in the wrong way round.

Have also amended the erroneous Russian entry, that'll teach me to copy and paste.

EDIT: Yes Brumby did get 35 points, the round win and is now in 3rd, 18 points off the lead.
