I know there will be a CW one but Marc took over my thread to run that and he uses winning margins which I dislike. First games Fri 6 Feb 20:05 WALES V ENGLAND Millennium Stadium Sat 7 Feb 15:30 ITALY V IRELAND Stadio Olimpico Sat 7 Feb 18:00 FRANCE V SCOTLAND Stade de France Rules 1 point per correct tip 3 points for picking a draw correctly 2 points for picking an upset (paying $2.50 or more on the TAB)
Hate saying this but... I'm a pessimist and we have way too many key players out Wales Ireland France
Yeah that Wales v England game is gonna be interesting now. Ireland France Will pick the other one when I decide.
I am also torn on who will win. Wales are at home. But Wales kick too much and don't utilise their potent backs enough. Perhaps if and when Anscombe takes over the reigns they will become a force to be reckoned with. The other factor is England's forwards even missing one or two blokes that pack is arguably as good as any other pack in the world. There is no doubt in my mind that England will win up front. England's backs don't strike me with awe however so england will probably play 10 man rugby and try to win on penalties. That is an exaggeration, they will run it from favourable field positions but I don't think they will score many if any tries from the backs. I may hook up the rugby channel just to get this tournament.
Wales have this now imo, injuries hurting England. Gonna be close but I'm backing the home advantage as the winner in this match, both teams are par. Soo Wales Ireland France
Will do. When I made my pick (26th) the odds were $1.83 each. Gutted I didn't put money on Wales with that, down to $1.50 now.
