*murf's 6 Nations Egg Chasing Predictions Knockout Cup 2014*

[jimmy ching]

I'm going to try. I'll have to ring Hervé, the deuxieme ligne. Big lad as one would expect. If no luck it will have to be a small party carrying on until the Monday when it's Paddys day

[Mick MacPaddywack]

I just follow the results. League is a far superior sport and far better entertainment than watching posh fat blokes writhing around on top of each other.

Hey Murf,

sounds like you are speaking from experience there ... did you ever play rugger, then?
I don't remember the writhing around on top of each other ... just the good line, the clean sidestep & leaving em trailing in my wake ...

League, on the other hand is let's everybody line out the width of the pitch & see which team cannot tackle ... ho, hum

or were you always the two pullovers on the grass & who is playing "in"? (with the round ball) type? ... the game of my youth ...

[murf]

Always footie for me.

Became a League convert when I lived in Wigan for a couple of years. It was compulsory.

PS Dear Finalists,

I have pm'd my predictions.

For the Italy and Wales matches, it would appear to be about the margin of victory whereas the France - Ireland game could be about which team wins... unless Big Bird and I both go for the same winner.

Best of luck Big Bird and let the best bird win

Rook

[Big Bird]

I have also pm'd murf my predictions, I'll let him post both predictions.

Hope we have gone for same winners as that will make it closer.

Good luck to you too.

BB

[murf]

All gone for same winners and yes the picks are close..... very close.

Will copy when on puter later

[Mick MacPaddywack]

Here's my entry in case one of the finalists don't make it:

England by a lot
Wales by a about half that
Ireland by a sneaky last gasp squeaky bum oh please gawd kick by Johnny Sexton

AND HAPPY ST. PADDY's DAY to Y'ALL!!

[murf]

THE FINAL

Battle of the previous champions.....

England 18
Wales 18
Ireland 3

v

England 18
Wales 18
Ireland 9

So all about the Ireland game....

If they win by 7 or more then it goes to Big Bird. A narrow win (5 or less) or a defeat or draw and it goes to Rookster.

If they win by 6...... umm, ahhh, err.... it goes to Rookster for being the first to pick (see tie-break rules in first post)

[blahblah]

Good luck to the cheating bstrd who beat me in the semi's.

I'd take that.

30 minutes to go and I lead only by the tie-break rule - this is tighter than my Scottish Uncle.

[Rookster]

11 minutes to go and Big Bird needs 5 Irish points without reply

[murf]

Exciting huh?

[Big Bird]

Congratulations Rookster, it was indeed close, right down to the final minute.

Very enjoyable competition again, thanks to murf

Cheers Big Bird, very close match in the end.

Thanks to murf from me also, for organising this comp.

[Mick MacPaddywack]

We'll done Murf. ... Great fun and terrible shame I got thumped again Thanks for running it once again! Mac

[Mick MacPaddywack]

BTW, Murf.

I think if I make you one of the two VP's (posts available of the SuperBru FISO Predictions Club) that the results of your competition below will be recorded in the Club's Medal Table, and will be recorded going forward ... does that sound like a good idea?

You shouldn't get indundated (hopefully) with Egg chasing invites if I exclude you from Egg chasing memos

Sounds good. I don't do egg chasing but as I do this superior comp I also pick for Superbru while I'm at it. It is only 5 weekends a year and I get 10 months to repurify my soul afterwards.

I can visualise your ancestors now, wearing Billy's Boots in the muddy mire of the football pitch @ Rugby school, roaring at William Webb Ellis to put that bloody football down before he gets ragged by his mates. Before the age of enlightenment, in the infancy of that wonderful sport for gentlemen.
