E-mail me the list through the board with your pick. One pick per event. If your pick wins, you get 5 points, if it comes 2nd, then you get 3 points.

Any questions, just ask here.

For those who need a guide:

- The Guinness Premiership is basically the English Premiership. (www.guinnesspremiership.com)
- The Magners League is run at the same time with teams from Wales, Ireland and Scotland. (www.magnersleague.com)
- The Heineken Cup is the European Rugby comp with the top teams from England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales(www.ercrugby.com)
- The Top 14 is the French league (aka. NRL II) with SBW, Gasnier, Rooney et al. (http://www.itsrugby.co.uk/modules/site/stand.php?id_season=540)
- Pacific Nations Cup is that comp with Aust A, NZ Maorish, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji.


I think everything else is fairly straight forward. But don't hesitate to ask.

I think you are a little crazy, and have way too much time on your hands (how is that possible when you've got kids?), but I will give it a shot.

 

[RugbyReg]

I am aware of your concerns to my sanity.

I do a similar tipping comp (all sports) for some mates and a few years ago set up the spreadsheet to track all the results.

So have just applied that for this.

Plus it gives me something to do away from the kids!

 

[the gambler]

Wow, thats some list. Ill be in it.

 

[naza]

How much will you be paying me per hour to fill out the paperwork for that ? Does not sound like fun..

 

[RugbyReg]

It aint compulsory Naz.

I need something to brag about having 'won' most one-eyed rugby fan.

Hey Noddy, my first post on here! - (and it is not about AFL so that's a good thing eh? :-[)

I will have a go at your tipping comp. I will have to do some research but that won't hurt me.

Have you worked out the rules yet - and when will I have to submit my tips? It could be a very good way to crank up my knowledge about some of the other comps around the world.

 

[spectator]

What about the IRB U20 World Cup - A & B Divisions?

 

[RugbyReg]

Mezza! Excellent. Welcome aboard. Lads is this our first female on the scarf or is NTA really Nicola?

I will re-look at this over the next day or so and fire it up. Spec, the U20s is a good call.

How'd you work out she is a girl (if that's correct of course)

Was keen then saw the list.... Hell didn't even know some of those comps exist let alone who's in them.

Just have me pick any/every team that uses the names Crusaders or Canterbury or plays in Red and Black or just Black.

RugbyGal would be our first and only female poster I know of. But she's a South African who posts on the Saffer board.

 

[RugbyReg]

Mezza is a recruit from PR. Don't worry lads, she one of the good ones.

 

[naza]

Not another Queenslander I hope ? I haven't seen branchstacking like this since Malcolm Turnbull's seat of Wentworth.

 

[RugbyReg]

She's a westie! Another Force fan.

 

[mezza]

Thanks for the welcome Noddy.. good to be in the same company again.

I hope all you posters here on the yellowscarf now know what a gem of a poster Noddy is. He has such a depth of knowledge, (not to mention a wicked sense of quick humour!!) and is able to communicate so clearly that it is no wonder he was considered the best poster on PR for 3 (or was it 4??) consecutive years - winning MVP in the annual awards.

You are lucky to have him in your company now. I have followed him over here to keep on learning from the Master. I would not be surprised if more did not follow him for that very reason.

I am indeed a female from the West and a strong Force fan. Not terribly knowledgable by most standards that are obvious on this board (it did not seem to matter much on PR - but Noddy used to keep me up to speed) - but I am keen to learn more to increase my enjoyment of the great game.


This tipping comp will be a massive challenge to me. To be honest, I don't quite know where I am going to find all the info I need, but it will certainly help my knowledge-base and that is a very good thing.

You're sure we're talking about the same Noddy.

Never seen him display any of that here.

So I see you guys have met my sister.

So I see you guys have met my sister.

Whats next secret affair?? Love child???

 

[mezza]

Ah Noddy...... G'day bro. How's it going? O0












(Actually I am very old..... indeed old enough to be Noddy's mother. I have children his age!!)
