England Rugby - Six Nations 2021

[Chris_K]

How time flies. It feels like only a couple of months ago when England Rugby won the Autumn Nations Cup 

Now though, it's time for the team to face a new challenge. Check out the fixture date and times for the upcoming Six Nation matches. 

• Saturday 6 February (16:45–18:15) – England v Scotland @ Twickenham
• Saturday 13 February (14:15–15:45) – England v Italy @ Twickenham
• Saturday 27 February (16:45–18:15) – Wales v England @ Principality
• Saturday 13 March (16:45–18:15) – England v France @ Twickenham
• Saturday 20 March (16:45–18:15) – Ireland v England @ Aviva Stadium

Our cheers might be shaking sofas instead of stadiums, but it's time to pull on your England Rugby shirt with even more pride. Tomorrow we finally kick off 2021 with the Guinness Six Nations. And on the O2 Community we thought we'd have a bit of fun with this one.

Challenge time!
Each Friday before the match, we'll get you to give us your best predictions and we'll have a scoring system. So at the end of the Six Nations we'll then tally up the leaderboard and we'll see who the #1 England Rugby fan is on the O2 Community. Ohh and we might even have a little something-something for the winner ;-).

The Challenge
BEFORE kick off each week, predict what the final score will be for the England Rugby team. Here's the scoring:

• Exact guess = 20 points
• Within 5 = 15 points (eg, you guess 30, but the team finish with min 25 / max 35)
• Within 10 = 10 points (eg, you guess 30, but the team finish with min 20 / max 40)
• Within 20 = 5 points (eg, you guess 30, but the team finish with min 10 / max 50)
• Bonus: Predict the final score of the opposing team = Additional 15 points

Well how about that?

However, if we assume the new scoring system is applied to the previous 2 games also, it stands as:

@Cleoriff 20

@MI5  20

@gmarkj 10

Me apparently.....

[jonsie]

And the only one who thought England would win

Should be minus 20 for that alone

Given the leaderboard was pretty static the first couple of games, everyone happy if we back-date the new scoring system and go with the above? There's still two matches left so still everything to play for.

@MI5 @Cleoriff @MI5 @gmarkj @Mi-Amigo @jonsie - Give me a thumbs up or down and let me know your thoughts. I'm happy to just update the scoreboard with this weeks results, or back-date the new scoring system as above...

@Chris_K 

I don't really care what you do. It's a bit of fun for me as I know nothing about Rugby, so it was amusing seeing my name at the top of the leaderboard.

Fine by me, I now support my ancestral country
