G/L lads

Power failures been killing me but will hopefully have a leaderboard up in the morning

After 4 games Werrie23 stands alone on 4/4 and 6 points

There is a big group just behind on 4.5 points

BG
Wager Warlock
Stormer006
Prof Hedgehog
RuggaBugga
Mackem
Dhilder
Martin04
TOS
Kompos
Hannes
Goose
ZamBusta
Southpaw
TwoLeftFeet
Blackadder

19/27 picked the Chiefs +7.5
Only 7/27 picked Brumbies -4.5
22/27 picked Drua -1.5 (only just arrived)
19/27 picked Blues -7.5

All 27 are on the -2.5 Hurricanes

No change other than everyone jumped 1.5 points and Nelson becomes the last player to get off the mark

In the next 2 games

16/27 have gone Force -4.5
17/27 have gone Sharks -7.5

Leaderboard subject to correction but have 2 at 8.5 points after Sharks game

Dhilder & TwoLeftFeet

BG, RuggaBugga, Mackem, Martin, TOS, Werrie, Kompos, Hannes, Southpaw, Blackadder all on 7.5

Ok guys 1 game to go and here is how things stand (subject to review, admin has been a challenge and I think I needed Oracles Excel skills )

Leaderboard with points and who they have gone for in the final game where 2 points are up for grabs

1. DHilder 13.5 (Scotland)
2. BG 12.5 (France)
2. RuggaBugga 12.5 (Scotland)
2. TOS 12.5 (Scotland)
2. Southpaw 12.5 (France)
2. TwoLeftFeet 12.5 (Scotland)
7. Zambusta 12 (Scotland)
8. Mackem 11.5 (France)
8. Martin 11.5 (France)
8. Blacladder 11.5 (Scotland)

If Scotland beat the cap DHilder wins, RuggaBugga, TOS and TwoLeftFeet will finish t2 and will battle it out in a playoff next week

If France beat the cap Southpaw and yours truly will will finish T1 and will playoff next week for 1st and 2nd. Mackem and Martin would finish T3 with DHilder and would play off next week for 3rd

17/27 have gone for Scotland on the cap

Thanks to everyone who entered - must say I had fun tracking it and overall a god strike rate for the forum.

In the end we could not have asked for a more exciting finish and when France scored in the final play it vaulted Southpaw and myself onto 14.5 points tied for 1st

Dhilder was seriously stiff having looked all over a winner when Scotland scored with 11 min to play. He hangs on for T3 with Mackem and Martin04

What next?

Southpaw and I will play a playoff for 1st next weekend and Dhilder, Mackem and Martin04 will playoff for 3rd

The format will be different - watch the forum for more

I know a number of you may still be subscribed to this thread and we have a R3000 RWC free bet up for grabs in our "Last Punter Standing" competition this weekend
