It's finals day in the Nat West School's Rugby Cup at Twickenham.


Dulwich College entered the competition for the first time 4 seasons ago and have never been beaten. They've won the competition on the three occasions they've entered it and are now in the final (against Bromsgrove) for the fourth year running. It's an extraordinary achievement and is never likely to be bettered in it's modern format.


The game kicks off at 3.40pm and is live (HD) on the link below. It's well worth a watch- the standard of Rugby is very high.

Haven't read the rules yet but will offer abbreviated version when I can.


Register with your forum name please.

Here are the basics to the prediction game (scroll up to get the details to enter, 4 so far):



The Group matches (40) are divided into 4 rounds of 8, 11, 9 & 12 games.

These follow the order matches will be played.

You can post your predictions anytime prior to a game kicking off for it to be included.

Once you 'lock' your predictions it will allow you to see others predictions.

Once locked you can't change your prediction and if you don't lock it, it will happen automatically when play starts.

Points scoring:

1 point for a correct prediction in the Group stages. This increases to 1.5,2 & 3 points thereafter in the Q/F's to the Final.

0.5 points for getting the margin of victory to within 5 points. Must have winning team unless you predicted a margin of 5 points or less.

In this case you will still win the bonus even if you predicted the wrong result.

1 Bonus point for being the closest to the winning margin in each match. This in theory could be divided if people are equally close.

Grand Slam Point is awarded for getting all the results correct in a given group. This appears to be worth 2 points.

No - scans/results due today.


But can't see how they could make it now - both bad injuries - Webbs was terrible

(people saying two injuries on the same leg).

although ....


The WRU deny that reports in France have come from them and there is no official word on how long Halfpenny is expected to be out of action.


There is also no word on Rhys Webb.


A recent statement from the WRU says: ?Further medical updates regarding the national squad will be made when available

Liam Williams (if he recovers) is pretty good and maybe we'll

call in Mike Phillips.


Rhys Webb has included in a statement "See you in 2016" :(


Actually Phillips called up now.

Just another invitation to play as the KO gets closer. You can post your predictions once you register if you want. Summary of scoring a few posts up. This isn't a Fantasy game in that you don't have to pick players but just a score and result game. Easy to play.

I Fancy doing some bets. Who are we looking at:


England 6.4 with home advantage* looks good value


Whose going to be top tryscoreR?


Which non-obvious country's going to make the quarters?


Thnaks in advance for any thoughts


Looking forward to this tournament alot more than last time (being at 'home' I guess)

    • They just gave woolly and opaque policies on the basis of "we will not increase tax for working people" and then could not clearly define what a working person is. They sold everyone, directly or indirectly, on the notion that Covid, the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the sorry state of the UK and that it was 14 years of Tory rule and Truss' nightmare budget that was the source of all the country's woes. the moment they got in they lent in to the notion that change will be slow due to global challenges. The electorate are impatient and Labour were always going to have a huge job to keep people onside and bought in to the (long) journey the country is on to any sort of recovery. Their first 100 days should have been about solidifying the electorate's support for the journey but instead they have lurched from one own-goal to another and I think significantly distanced themselves from the electorate as they have behaved just like the Tories in many aspects of leadership (access to donors, clothing gate). Throw in spin on the £22bn gap (of which around £9bn was based on their own decisions), Winter Fuel payments ending and the attack on farmers (the very definition of working people) and it has been an utter disaster. They have a massive perceptual problem and seem incapable of delivering crisp messages that the people can get behind. Listening to members of the government trying to explain the intricacies and details of much of the aforementioned challenges is utterly painful to watch and people shut off after a couple of sentences. In opposition you can get away with soundbites and when you get scrutinised you can bridge to "14 years of hurt" and "we're not them" and people will buy it. When you're in the hot seat those things sounds hollow and suggest you don't have the answers and people will turn on you very quickly. It is in everyone's interests that they get it right because with a Tory party chasing the far-right vote because of Reform and Reform picking up disillusioned main political party voters then the alternative is really scary. Of course, we also have the threat from within the Labour party itself as if things don't go well for Starmer & co we could find Labour turning on itself.    
    • Pounds, Shillings and Pence. Still remember decimalisation day.
    • It’s very likely to be a mistake by a council contractor, so they should make good; also, someone else could be waiting for a much needed installation. It might be quickest to email your councillor, as they should be able to track down who’s responsible, rather than going from pillar to post with switchboards etc.
