Lies, damned lies, and
statistics...

I think i shall have to give up I do believe raveen is right!

We should stop the continuation of this game and admit defeat!

Well, I just adjusted my predictions.
Sorry Gandy, I had to back England at home considering how much 'better' they have been to what I expected.

I think that and Wales Ireland in the first week are the hardest calls in the game this year. Maybe when the tournament's over Gandy can do some stats on which games were the hardest/easiest to predict.

You mean like this?

Each to their own! The bookies have Wales down as the favourites though (first time in my lifetime this has been the case at Twickenham I think). Personall I think England need some hiterto unseen creativity (they've only scored 2 tries so far - both chargedowns) or a Welsh implosion to succeed.

I predict the Whimbly Gombledegrocks will snuff the Larksborough Bimblycrumps sixty to nuff.

Great game! England did improve from their previous games but without Hodgeson couldn't score their typical chargedown try

Defences were brilliant from both young enthusiastic teams, one mistake/moment of magic decided it. I@m physically and emotionally exhausted, feel like I've walked 10 miles.

I thought Scotland and England played their games of the tournament so far, shame they both lost!

Well I 50% agree with you Raveen

I was wondering, what odds you'd've got before the tournament started on Scotland having scored more tries than England at this point?

A reminder we have a "bonus game" this weekend with France-Ireland take 2.

Finally I've created a new page - the Hall of Fame (it's on the statistics page) for the top 10 6 nations predictions ever. 3 of us hold all top 6 spaces at the moment, but Ion is nearly in the top 10 already with 7 games to go. (Yes I love stats)
