En Passant 3,735 Posted September 20, 2019 06.15 Italy v Namibia Italy by 30 08.45 Ireland v Scotland Scotland by 15 11.15 England v Tonga England by 30 PS i recall i put 4 points on a previous guess, is that even possible? If not that would put me at something of a disadvantage . Hm..6 for a try, 1 for a conversion? or is it 2? or is one of those league not union? 3 for a field goal? no wait thats us football, drop kick is it? so could score 3 or 6 but not 4? Meh, I don't know. I wish to enter your worst results possible competition please, I feel my credentials have been verified. Besides, @msc''s shot himself in the foot at the first hurdle. Edit PPS, I note you are all going for scores in multiples of 5. I must have something wrong, so editing mine so I don't look an utter fool (no giggling at the back).

Meh, I don't know. 3 points for a penalty scored 5 points for a try, plus 2 if you convert the penalty you get for scoring one. So the score goes up by 3, 5, or 7 each gain. So yeah, a 4 point win is possible. In fact, I think all leads are possible (not a maths person). I just go by 5 because its the easiest rough scoreline. Later on when the big guns face off in the knockouts its more likely to be decided by 1-4 points at times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,097 Posted September 23, 2019 Quite a few missing out by one point. (Myself included) I'm thinking of changing the scoring slightly. Maybe introducing a range of + or -5. Thoughts? Yay or nay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
