Fiji beating Ireland? Never going to happen – they could well beat the Scots though.

To be honest we are just about as likely to do a “grand slam of losses” than to win one. I guess the only certainly is that we will destroy Scotland.

I’ve fixed this – add < pre > tags at start and < / pre > tag at end.

Cheers,

I see the SA and NZ going all the way through without losing, but if they do NZ might slip up against France and SA against Ireland, Australia will lose 1 or 2 probably against Ireland and England. Argentina will beat the Scots and possibly the Welsh depending on if they at full strength.
Possible upset games of the series…Samoa beating Wales and Fiji beating Ireland (the Irish are playing SA the next week and might not be focused on the Fiji game)

No, it’s not going to win the match for them single-handedly.

However, I am serious. I didn’t go to a private school, so I don’t know a great deal about Rugby Union. Nevertheless, I do believe that England will beat the convicts by 7 points or more.

I will write on this website when I am proved right.

So France by 5 over NZ

England by 7 – 10 points over the prisoners

I love the feeling of knowing exactly what I’ll be doing and where with my november weekends. Hopefully a feast of fine rugby, and the cheese and wine will be french, of course.

Er ok.

Mebbe I should have supplied a table that people could alter. So taking those results, you’d have:

Team P W D L PF PA PD TB LB Total

New Zealand 4 4 0 0 50 – +50 – – 12*
South Africa 3 3 0 0 29 – +29 – – 12
Ireland 3 2 0 1 20 2 +18 – 1 9
Wales 3 2 0 2 25 15 +10 – 1 9
Australia 4 2 0 2 18 10 +8 – 1 9
Argentina 3 2 0 1 13 5 +8 – 1 9
France 3 1 0 2 15 12 +3 – 2 6
England 3 1 0 2 5 18 -13 – 2 6
Fiji 3 1 0 2 15 18 -3 – 1 5
Scotland 3 1 0 2 3 23 -20 – – 4
Samoa 2 0 0 2 0 35 -35 – – 0
Italy 2 0 0 2 0 40 -40 – – 0

The above may be all over the place cos I don’t know how to do tabs in these comment boxes. Or if you can.

ha ha ha ha Mr Cheese – are you serious

“Martin is aware that 2 years out, he needs to post results ” cos thats single handedly is going to win the match for them

By: mcxd

mcxd — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:20:15 +0000

not bad robbo, id pick pretty much the same or similar myself. on a side note, wallabies grand slam ? no chance. I think ireland especially may be very tough.

Both your England v Australia prediction and your France v New Zealand prediction are wrong.

Even though their players are dropping like les mouches, England will beat the Aussies. As easy as a lemon squash. Seriously, I think they will beat the convicts by 7 – 10 points. Martin Johnson is aware that, 2 years out from a world cup, he needs to post a few results on the door.

As for France v New Zealand, the All Blacks should have worked out by now that the only way of succeeding at the WC in 2011 is to lose to France between the World Cups. Otherwise, there will be another ’99 or ’07.

Mr. Cheese

I realise a few of these results might contradict each other – but that’s just the nature of rugby! I assumed full strength – which may of course not be the case.
