2011 RWC Boards.ie Prediction Pool - Details in first post!

thomond2006

Given my terrible record with these pools, I think it's time for personal redemption!

http://www.sportguru.co.uk/rwc/pool.asp?p=10009840

Pool name: Boards.ie
Pool code: jestwear

Invites have been sent out to those who played in the ML pool and summer internationals pools so check your email accounts.

If you haven't played already, it's simple to join up. Just type in the above information when asked to join the boards pool.

Is anyone willing to donate a small prize?

Nice one! Really enjoy the predictions pools, good fun and gives you an interest in every game.

Any chance Justin Dee could get a signed Ireland RWC jersey as a prize???

In, can someone please remind me to actually do the predictions, perhaps bump this thread a day or two before the deadlines?

I always miss huge chunks of the games!

I get emails about it. Well I did for the magners anyhow.

Problem was unless I picked then, I would forget, so I used to pick my winners before seeing the team Announcements . Then realise that Schmidt was sending the transition year students to Wales or something.

Unfortunately no, according to the website they'll only allow changes were a mistake is glaringly obvious, eg - Japan beating NZ by 80 pts.

Bump. Now at 29.

Thanks for the invite - spurred me into coming back on here too Haven't tried today but tried yesterday and during the week for another pool I'm in and was getting an error page - anyone else?

Given yesterday's results I'm kinda glad my predictions didn't go through last week

PhatPiggins

Going to bump this as it would be good to get the majority involved

Otacon

Signed up. Will make my predictions closer to the time.

€5 a head, winner takes all?

PM if interested, obviously needs to be sorted before first round. (Secret Society style, see below)

ok I'm going to knock this on the head here as it could cause all sorts of problems and fights that frankly we don't want to deal with, if yous do it privately that is up to you but it won't be happening on thread

France v Japan is very mind boggling, how do you go about predicting the margin. Still makes it interesting.

Pick a number between 1-10, multiply it by another number between 5-10, take 6 away from it.

France are going to maul them...
