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

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

If my calculations are correct, then the scoring for the England vs France game is as follows:

  • Mi-Amigo = 7 score differential = 10 points

  • MI5 = 3 score differential = 15 points

  • Cleoriff = 10 score differential + correct opposing score = 10 points + 15 point bonus

  • Jonsie = 3 score differential = 15 points


So if my math is correct, the leaderboard is now as
follows

Member Score
Cleoriff 45
MI5 35
jonsie 20
Mi-Amigo 20
gmarkj 10

 

It's pretty tight up top between @MI5 and @Cleoriff but there's still everything to play for. @gmarkj unlucky for missing your prediction, but if in this weekends final game you predict the exact score of both England and Ireland, that would give you 35 points - and if Cleoriff scores no new points, it'd put you in a draw... Random number generator name out of a hat at that point, so you're still in the running!

I don't understand the algorithm at all @Chris_K Confused

 

I actually was the only person who put England to win. (So would think that gave me a head start Lol)

I also fluked the correct score for France.

If I'm being honest, I thought I would be topping the leaderboard. LOL

Sorry @Cleoriff, I missed the fact you got the 15 bonus for correctly guessing the opposing teams final score too. I'll update this ASAP, but you're right - that puts you in the lead... Thanks for correcting me! slight_smile
