Still 11 entries to come.

Apologies in advance but I may well not be around much this weekend to do any checking, scoring, updating etc.

Rest assured it will be done next week (think the lazy, soft players get a week's sciving anyway so 2 weeks til round 3....)

ROUND 2 DRAW

Richt v robot
GregsEggs v Spencer4
Alchemist v Spinynorman
sibrown4 v yorkshiredragon
Arabian Knight v Mick MacPaddywack
Minitoff v Windy Behind
blahblah v steve foster
forestfan v trampie

Pickers to date (of last edit) in bold. 4 still to enter. If any fail to appear at all then their opponents get an easy ride. If both opponents fail to turn up (1 game possible) then there will be a lucky (highest scorer) loser who is saved.

Tuned in during half time, and I could\should be all but through (As long as England settle for a comeback win.)

So the "goal" is the whole width of the pitch, and you carry the egg over that line to try something?

It would have been more fun in the olde days with a big real egg, rather than the modern inflatable jobbie.

C'mon Murf ...
Anxiously awaiting the outcome of those fixtures, and keeping my team primed whilst awaiting news of my next opponent...
Very difficult to prepare them (tactically) if I don't know who their opponent is ...

Sorry about the delay, down to a combination of absence, slackness and illness. Will try and sort it today.

...and finally

ROUND 2 RESULTS
Richt 86 v 97 robot
GregsEggs 105 v 118 Spencer4
Alchemist 112 v 107 Spinynorman
sibrown4 107 v 117 yorkshiredragon
Arabian Knight 91 v 124 Mick MacPaddywack
Minitoff 108 v 123 Windy Behind
blahblah 123 v 107 steve foster
forestfan 111 v 97 trampie

With 5 out of 8 losers getting over 105 and all other winners getting over 110, I think we can safely award the 'Jammiest Git Of The Round' prize to 97 pointer robot, who beat the previous holder, richt.

As is now traditional for this prize, I present a suitable piccie courtesy of our sponsors Google Images (other search engines are available... but clearly not as good)

A robot causing a jam....

I know zilch about the egg chasing game so my luck from the last round may run out!

Good luck yorkshiredragon.

[Mick MacPaddywack]

I know even less than Robot, which is why I have sat down on my yoga mat and taken up a deep-breathing meditative posture... I might come out of this trance again hopefully in time to paste a few random predictions on this notice board... But for now, Huuummmmmmmm

Good Luck BlahBlah.

I'll need more than luck

The random Countries and numbers of the blah Jury are:

Wales, 8 (although some of the panel say a Draw - do they have them in this Egg thing?)
Ireland, 5 (although some of the panel say a France win)
England, 24 (although some of the panel say 50+, it seems there are Bonus Points in this Egg lark - is it like a Capt in FPL?)

Sorry about delay, first opportunity today...
Gonna be close, I think:

Wales 7
Ireland 5
England 38

If England blow Italy's cotton buds away I'm a gonner.
I'm hoping Conor O'Shea (the Irish coach of the Italian team) will come on in the second half and play 16th Man for Italy... they will need it!!

Good luck Windy. I had my predictions in mind at lunchtime... remarkably similar to yours. :-S
