Note only DLIAH, theo29 and The Bear will receive full 5 points for predicting NZ to be 3rd.

[topspur]

Despite leading from the get go, I think I need at least two tries and an England medium plus win to stay ahead thanks to DLIAH's inspired England choice.

2019 RWC game: final standings

Third-Fourth place: New Zealand 40-17 Wales = NZ L; 8 tries.
Final: South Africa 32-12 England = SA M; 2 tries; so total over four matches = 14.

Four gain maximum five points in NZ victory: topspur, Hotpot, kingcurtley, wahine.
Six predict SA win but no one gets exact margin. Note points are doubled in Final.
And why didn't I pick SA M, so obvious now...

Congratulations to trampie, who wins a tight contest and a Fiso Mug with 46 points.
Well done also to polarbear, narrowly pipped on the tiebreak (correct margins).
Both kingcurtley (4th in 2015) and scopsm (winner last time) finish on 45.
And graysman is a point back in fifth.
The leading nine are separated by just five points.
A special mention to theo29, who nails the top three places.

Thanks, everyone, for playing. See you in 2023?

[trampie]

Sam thanks for running the competition and thank you for the prize, I've always wanted to win a FISO mug and will treasure it, I've tried to put a picture up of the mug but unfortunately failed as I'm not particularly tech savvy.

Look forward to entering more of your competitions in the future including this one in another 4 years time.

My laptop does not recognise my cheap Chinese phone - notifications blocked or something it says, so emailed myself and got the image onto my laptop, but from there it says the image is too big to transfer [to Fiso] and as regards drag and drop it clearly doesn't want to know.
