World Cup Tipping Competition

Pretty well placed. A lot of third and fourth placed rounds adding up to a solid run, but I'm yet to have my traditional dire round to send me down. Need to have a big round to make up for it.

Canada will do better than what you jokers think. They did ok in a Hamilton test not too long ago vs the ABs.

They probably won't score any tries - just reckon they will man up on D - look for courageous tackling.

State Captain
Ireland by 0
South Africa by 0
England by 10
NZ by 25

"by 0" is not a draw prediction, obz.

Edit: Reading the rules, SA by -5 would have been 5/0 points for an SA win/loss, plus a 10 point sliding scale with 10 for an Aus win by 5.

By 0 is a draw prediction. If you want to predict a team to win you've got to give them a margin.
