Well the predictions have started fragmenting a bit this week. No one has any love for Wales and their golf-kart stealing inebriation, but the other games are split predictions as are the jokers.
|
Dec and I have both used our mulligans, jokers this week are:
Alex, Ant and I – France
Dec and Dave – Scotland
A bit of a shocker this week, and my first wrong prediction in terms of who was gonna win. Ireland were comprehensively spanked. Still, I imagine they can’t feel as bad as the Scots do.
Anyway, the terrible Ireland result has prompted both Dec and I to take our Mulligans. As a result, the standings are:
|
* Mulligan used
|
Everyone picked England as their joker, everyone has a mulligan available.
So, Engand foxed everyone by picking up most points, which meant that no one got a joker bonus this week. Dec got hammered for backing the Welsh at Twickenham and three people actually ended the first week in positive points.

A new round with enhanced rules!
Each person puts £10 in.
Winner takes all.
For each game pick a winner and by how many points.
+5 for the right winner
+10 for the exact right points difference
-1 for each points difference out
e.g. England vs Italy guess England win by 10 points.
If England win 23-13 – +15
If England win 23-12 – +4
If England win 23-15 – +4
If England lose 23-13 – -20
Bonus rules:
1 Mulligan: Once throughout the game you can select a result to ignore. This must be nominated within 2 days of the result and cannot be transferred. E.g. if you selected England to beat Italy by 10 pts and England lost 23-13 you’d normally lose 20 pts. If you select this as your Mulligan, you score zero points.
Weekly Jester: Pick the team you think will get the most points that week. If you’re correct, you get the points that team got.
For example, you pick Ireland
Ireland – France – 30-15
England – Wales – 29-12
Italy – Scotland – 6-3
You would get 30 points. If you picked any other team you would get 0 points.
Winner is the one with the most overall points at the end.
